Just at the west end of the railing on the new sidewalk on W 14th street, there are two of those large, orange barrels you might see at a construction site. They've been there for a week or two at least. Would somebody come and pick them up? Thank you!

Around 9:45am this morning, I walked out of the parking garage at 7th and Morton, out through the lower level of the garage onto 7th Street. As I was walking out onto the sidewalk, a minivan was driving east in the bike lanes! The driver and passenger seemed lost and realized they were in the wrong place. They stopped then crossed over a break in the weird curbing there to get back into a lane of traffic. They had driven from at least Morton halfway up the block before getting out of the bike lane. This is not the first time of numerous times I have witnessed vehicles driving in or parking in the 7th Street bike lane. Is there any way to add signs or markings that make this more obvious? Also, while we are here - on Monday I was downtown driving on Morton headed north and came to a stop at 7th Street. People are really confused by this intersection. A car from the west came to a complete stop. A car from the north on Morton decided to cross 7th in front of the stopped car from the west on Morton. A car coming down the hill from the east on 7th was not intending to stop, but had to due to this car in the intersection from the north on Morton that failed to yield to 7th Street traffic. Although, the randomly stopped car to the west on 7th acting like it was a four-way stop sign certainly made matters go awry. Essentially, the entire 7th Street bike lane system is a mess of poorly designed infrastructure. A friend was telling me about how the bike lane gets blocked at 7th and Woodlawn because of the college students getting on and off buses and the bus riders have to cross the bike lanes and often do not pay any attention. A perfectly good street has multiplied the potential for accidents and injuries with this "upgrade" that got installed.
CVS’s retaining wall flanking the east, Walnut-side sidewalk is collapsing onto the sidewalk and depositing cement landscaping blocks onto the sidewalk
Road closed sign is blocking the sidewalk.
Vegetation overgrowth on the west side of 6th St. between Morton and Madison Sts. The trees are less than 5'6" in some spots along the sidewalk. But the bushes are well into the middle of the sidewalk.
Tree in the front yard has branches hanging down over the sidewalk. Owner needs to trim the branches.
There's a tree/bush here that needs trimmed, it's over the sidewalk where you can't use the sidewalk
On this block of W Cottage Grove Ave. the sidewalk is unusable. It is overgrown with scrubs and trees.
These assholes have a huge pile of trash they just put on the curb and sidewalk
