Gravel on sidewalk on W 14th St side of property
Overgrown plants on W 14th St side of property, encroaching on sidewalk.
Can the City review this section of sidewalk at College Ave and Kirkwood, right out front of The Tap? It may be out of compliance with the City ordinances that require a minimum 5-feet of width for sidewalks. This portion of sidewalk has felt narrow and congested for years. Today, I was walking through and with other foot traffic got pushed to the side where that limestone corner cap sticks out beyond the base of the planter and hit my leg on it. The railing from the Tap combined with that planter creates a significant hazard for pedestrians and restricts the flow of foot traffic. The sidewalk narrows right there. This could be fixed by removing the planter.
The corner of 15th and Woodburn desperately needs a four way stop. We hear numerous near collisions daily. It is impossible to see oncoming traffic as they speed down 15th street while sitting at the stop sign on Woodburn Ave going north. Heading south, there is a better visual of incoming traffic. If not a stop sign, please look into how close to the intersection cars are allowed to park as it completely obstructs the ability to observe oncoming traffic.
The alley running east to west has been closed since 11.05.2025 due to a small asphalt repair. I am unsure why it is still closed eight days later. It is disrupting the flow of traffic through the neighborhood.
There is a city-maintained connecting road between Woodburn Ave and College Ave just to the right of 1020 N Woodburn. This connector is paved by the city and provides access to the Sunflower II Apartments and to the parking areas for 1020 North Woodburn and for the address just south of 1020. The paving of the parking for Sunflower II is the responsiblity of Crown Management and there is a clear line separating their parking lot from the connector street. The potholes I am reporting are on the connector portion only. This connector is 1 block long with intersections at Woodburn and College. The connector at this point just needs a pothole repair especially the eastern 1/2 of the connector.
The public sidewalks in front of Lovers Playground are completely impassible, and pedestrians are forced to walk in the busy street. It appears that the owners even used the sidewalks to dump snow that was cleared from their parking lot. Photos taken 2026 Jan 29 – 2:25 PM
The water meter manhole cover by this address is not properly closed.
There is a roadway which was a former street going all the way west from College to Madison that runs in front of Crown Management Sunflower II Apts. and is the only way that residents of Sunflower II Apts and a Crown Management rental property at 1020 N Woodburn can get to their parking areas. The city has taken care of the surface of this roadway at least between Woodburn and College for many years. I am reporting today that this roadway needs to be repaved or at least have the uneven surface patched to allow for safe driving on it this coming winter. Crown Management has done their part by resurfacing and resealing their parking lot in front of the apartments just north of this roadway. Please (desperate tone in voice) come and smooth the surface of this very small but fully used roadway. Thank you.
