All of the decorative lampposts on North Walnut near the intersection with 11th Street are dark. Three on the west side of Walnut and north of 11th, one on the east side of Walnut north of 11th, and two on the east side of Walnut south of 11th but still north of Cottage Grove.
The pedestrian crossing sign on the west side of College Ave north of the intersection facing east has a non-functioning “tens” digit.
We have received several complaints on this safety concern. Street cut/storm drain repair work within most of the 3rd street bike lane has not been finished.
A large percentage (30%+) of sidewalks in the Bryan Park neighborhood are still covered with snow or ice which makes walking, running and pushing strollers very difficult. I understand there is an ordinance that stipulates fines if the snow or ice has not been removed 24hrs after the end of the weather event but it does not appear to be enforced. Many of the addresses appear to be rentals as well.
I'll admit that this isn't one of the more extreme instances of "excessive growth" by any means, but it nonetheless reaches beyond the property and obstructs a portion of the sidewalk. The other day I had to pass by another person here and essentially found myself walking through plants/bushes.
Property owner blew leaves all over sidewalks along both Cottage Grove and Lincoln, where they have piled up and are blocking passage and making the walkways slippery and dangerous. If the City refuses to pick up leaves, they should at least follow through and fine people who blow leaves onto ther people's property or public thoroughfares. The argument that the leaves will eventually decay is specious; that line of thought could be extended to saying that there is no need for laws at all because eventually everyone alive today will one day be dead.

The seam along the crown of S. Ketcham Road has opened up. Would it be possible for a crew to come out and patch the seam?
