Bush growth overtaken sidewalk, forcing pedestrians to walk into 10th st.
Bush growth overtaken sidewalk, forcing pedestrians to walk into 10th st.
The sidewalk is blocked on 8th street by the overgrown bushes from Topo's 403
Last year, the section of the sidewalk at Washington and Cottage Grove was replaced, but the workers left a trench in the road that collects water and breeds mosquitos. I couldn't help but notice when similar work was done this summer on 10th street and a layer of pavement was laid alongside the sidewalk to fill the trench there. Probably just an oversight but it'd be nice to get this job completed.
The sidewalk is hard to use due to plant overgrowth and children attending Binford and Rogers have to walk or ride bikes on the uneven grass in order to get to/from school.
The bike lane on Lincoln between Fourth and Kirkwood, opposite the new construction at the southwest corner of Kirkwood and Lincoln never got fixed up after the construction at the southeast corner. So there is a seam running the length of it making it be at two different levels. Because of the construction, the street is really narrow there, but the bike lane is half unusable. This is a dangerous situation and the bike lane there should be fixed.
This property immensely violates the City code regarding overgrowth of the yard and landscaping. In fact, the public sidewalk attached to this property that runs along 16th Street is practically impassable. There is barely a walkable path where the sidewalk should be.
Going towards the Mall, on E Second Street, past the intersection with Woodscrest, before the 'wavy wall' starts: trees encroaching on the sidewalk, walking there might be unpleasant because you may get hit in the face by branches.
Vegetation is growing over the sidewalk on the Maple Street side of house. Sidewalk is impassible the entire length. You have to walk out in the street. Looks terrible and is a safety issue.
