If I stay on the sidewalk because I am pushing a stroller I get smacked in the face by overgrown foliage, much of which appears to be invasive and about to seed
The sidewalk on the east side of High Street (there isn't one on the west side at this point) is being overtaken by overgrowth, pushing pedestrians into a fairly high speed section of High Street. This is just north of the round about at Winslow/Rogers.
Missing stop sign: The stop sign for Mitchell heading north at Maxwell is on the ground due to sidewalk construction. I just saw a car zoom through this intersection, heading north on Mitchell, without a pause. Since traffic does not stop on Maxwell, this would be dangerous if a car on Maxwell was also in the intersection.
There is a thick layer of gravel that has washed across the sidewalk at 411 s Lincoln.
Vegetation has completely blocked the sidewalk at 411 s lincoln
Gravel covering the sidewalk at 405 s lincoln
There is a curb cut from the Turkuaz parking lot at 3rd & Lincoln onto Lincoln. For pedestrians walking south along the sidewalk, their is poor visibility to see cars pulling out here, and likewise I suspect cars don't have a good sightline for pedestrians. I was almost hit last night as a pedestrian by a car quickly pulling out here and onto Lincoln. Can the city review this and see if it can be made a bit more safe? Is the curb cut even necessary here?
After the storm went through on Sunday 6/23, we noticed runners and walkers were having trouble getting through on the sidewalk behind our house along Rogers Rd. Upon investigation, we found that a tree/bush next to the road had broken in the storm and was blocking the sidewalk. We cleared the debris from the sidewalk and moved it into the grassy area in between the sidewalk and the road. I would like to see the debris removed and that bush/tree trimmed. Please warn whomever works there that there may be poison ivy (I seem to have gotten it, likely from that.)
I believe this house is vacant because this trash has been here for at least the past two weeks. It is very close to the sidewalk and appears that it may have been disturbed by animals. It is at the house on the north side of 7th St, the second house west from the corner of 7th St and Dunn St.
