Two yellow traffic signs on Covenanter between Nota and Pickwick, across from 2215 are half 'eaten' by a huge hedge. Maybe the hedge can be trimmed. Before long the hedge will also 'eat' half the sidewalk.
Thd sidewalk at the corner of 3rd St and Swain is in very bad condition. MAC restaurant used to be at that corner but Mother Bear's is now in that spot. I asked Mother Bear's who would fix the sidewalk and they thought it was the responsibility of the city. The sidewalk has been in bad shape for a long time and is a hazard to those of us who use it regularly to walk to campus.
When trash and recycling is picked up on my street (S. Washington), sanitation employees throw the empty cans and bins back down, which is both very loud early in the morning and had resulted in damage to my trash cans and bins. Monday mornings, the sidewalks of S. Washington are strewn with the cans and bins that have been tossed (rather than set) back on the sidewalk.
Pothole on Heritage (off E 3rd St) close to house #116. Heritage is dark at night, and therefore can be dangerous for the pedestrian. Also, huge overgrowth of foliage on sidewalk in front of 3813 E 3rd St. Obstructs the sidewalk. I noticed that when I get off the bus on E 3rd, in front of Century's building, the sidewalk ends rather than helps the pedestrian reach the corner of Smith Rd so that I can cross to get to E Morningside Dr. This is unacceptable for the pedestrian.
I am contacting the city in regards to a sidewalk that was put built from Park on the Morton apartments to College Avenue that has an overgrowth of 3 feet of weeds on both sides of the sidewalk along with trash, dirt and debris. The Park on the Morton office claims that it is not their property to maintain, and it seems no one is maintaining it from the overgrowth and dirt/debris.
Along Hagan St., which is at the rear of my property on Stonegate Ct., a mature Bradford Pear was split during the storms over the weekend. A large portion of the tree is now blocking the sidewalk, and I'm trying to determine the responsibility for clean-up. By my understanding, the tree is on city property as it sits between the sidewalk and Hagan St., but I understand that it may still be my responsibility. Please advise.
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.
