Overgrown bushes and trees on the property of 604 Swain St are not only obstructing the view of the stop sign at the corner of E University and Swain but also hits car windshields and pedestrians trying to walk along the side of the street which has no sidewalk.
Two houses on Mitchell (between Hunter and 2nd St) have multiple bags of garbage which were not picked up during trash pick up yesterday which have now been strewn all over the street.
There is a problem with enforcement by HAND. Months ago I requested the City stop the trash and garbage coming from 1417 West Habitat Street. It went from Matthew Swinney in HAND, to the City Street Department, to the Director of HAND, to Rosie Beaman of HAND, who told me a decision would be reached last week. This week she does not return my calls. I still have my neighbors trash in my yard. My other neighbor still has trash in his yard. There is still trash on City Property. There are still trash cans left permanently on City property, despite an ordinance against it. HAND has pictures. Besides the unsightly view, there is the attraction for vermin and the health risks. I just want the trash picked up, and the cans moved back on his property, where they belong.
I've noticed sidewalk-users and students having to duck and walk into the street to avoid crowding at this spot on Dunn. The tree overgrowth has made it so anyone over 5 feet tall has to duck to get past.
Please look at Smith Ave between Walker and Euclid Streets. Growth along the length encroaches into the street. And the intersections with Davisson and Buckner are especially troublesome for those at the stop sign who cannot see approaching traffic. The Buckner/Smith intersection the view to the west is blocked by two vehicles always parked next to the road.
Overgrown bush blocks visibility to the west
Bushes along williamsburg prevent cars turning out from in front of barnes and noble from seeing northbound traffic that doesn't have to stop
Low-hanging tree growth is obstructing sidewalk on North Maple Street between 5th & 6th Streets on the west side of the street towards 6th.
Huge garbage pile on 12th Street side of property. Note: not all this garbage originated at this address. Some came from 209 E. 12th, some from 207 E. 12th. None of it is tagged.
This intersection is BLIND to travelers on Grant Street. The building on the NE corner abuts the sidewalk (who allowed this to be built there???), preventing a south-bound driver from seeing cars traveling west on 9th Street, and it's almost as bad for travelers heading north. If the building at 401 E. 9th is allowed to remain standing, there should be at least a stop sign on 9th Street, since it is so difficult to see oncoming traffic.
