If possible, I would like to see the sidewalk on the south side of East 2nd Street (between Highland Ave and Ballantine) made available for walking. There are big bushes that perpetually extend far into the sidewalk and no one is able to walk or run on it. Thank you!
Trees on swale need trimming, you cannot walk on sidewalk standing upright. There are trees that need trimming on both sides of East Keri Mari Lane in swale - between sidewalk and road.
Several areas of concern in the Winslow Farm/Walnut Creek neighborhoods: 1) Along S. Henderson across from the ice rink, adjacent to Bayberry Condos, and south of Wylie Farm Road to Graham Drive have a number of limbs handing over the sidewalk. 2) Wylie Farm Road from Henderson to Azalea Lane has limbs over the sidewalk (near Henderson and over the wooden walkways near Azalea Lane are areas of particular safety concern). 3) Azalea Lane east of Summerwood Court, across from Summit Pointe Apartments, and adjacent to the 2100 S. Bent Tree Drive and 2101 S. Bent Tree Drive has tree limbs hanging over the sidewalk. Also, grass and brush is growing nearly four feet high in the strip. (See attached photo) Thank you for arranging inspection and monitoring the property owners (Bayberry HOA, Winslow Farm HOA, and homeowners adjacent to the property on Azalea Lane) taking care of these public safety issues and code violations.
6-12-12: Sidewalk not accessible to person in electric wheelchair; got stuck; rescued by two passers-by. East side of Walnut just south of 3rd street. rough gravel where sidewalk dug-up.
Caller wanted us to know there is a hole in the sidewalk on Fairview between Patterson & Allen (next to the playground at the Great Harvest Church). He said is is large enough that someone could trip and get injured.
There are many pedestrians like myself who walk North Walnut under the railroad trestle just north of 13th Street. On the west side of Walnut, this is so overgrown with weeds (some nearly trees) it becomes difficult to safely navigate there. Who is responsible to maintain this problem? If it's the railroad, they should be fined - especially in the winter when snow is NEVER cleared. The weeds are a nasty sight, too. One more thing, what should we do when we see homeless people making their 'homes' under the bridge. I just came past there and a couple of scary guys (trolls??) were making themselves comfortable. I'm a middle-aged single woman w/o a car so I often have to go to CVS from my home at 11th and Walnut. Thanks for any help you can provide!
The sidewalk on the south side of the street between the BLine trail and Morton street has an accumulation of sand at the midpoint. The amount is enough to prevent being able to walk on that section of the sidewalk. thank you!
Northside of Tapp Rd. between S. Adams and Rockport Rd - overgrown weeds and brush on sidewalk make it difficult to travel on the sidewalk.
At Bryan Park right by the swimming pool, between the sidewalk and Woodlawn, there is a water pipe with the cover missing. The cover is sitting on the grass right beside the pipe opening but looks to be damaged. This is a fairly large hole in the ground and could be a danger if a child or pet accidentally stepped into it. Again, this is right near the fenced part of the pool and on the strip of grass that is between the sidewalk and Woodlawn.
The 500 block of West Kirkwood has a trash container fastened to the #3 bus stop sign on the south side of the street. Folks are good about using it to dispose of their trash. However, the bus stop on the north side of the street is without a trash container---so there's litter all over the grass, curb and sidewalk. I don't know who distributes or cleans these containers, but I'd like to see a trash container attached to the stop sign on the north side of the street in the 500 block of West Kirkwood. This area is part of the BEAD district and should be kept as clean as possible. Thank you! --Chris Paputsas
