Over the past several months, the sidewalk in front of 1001 East 1st Street has gradually become almost completely blocked by trees and bushes encroaching from the yard. Yesterday, I was relieved to see someone *finally* trimming the bushes—but the work is completely inadequate. Half the sidewalk is still blocked, the bushes and trees still overhang the full sidewalk at a height low enough to force pedestrians to duck, and the trimmed branches have been left lying on the sidewalk. Please require the property owner (or owners—it's hard to tell where the property line is, and some of the problematic bushes and trees may be on the land belonging to the next house) to fully clear the sidewalk and haul away the resulting debris. It shouldn't be necessary to duck and fight one's way down the sidewalk, or to come away smeared in bird droppings.

Ballantine Rd. pavement has crumbled away at the base of our driveway, leaving a level difference of a couple inches between the street and the driveway pavement. Can you have a crew pour enough asphalt onto this small patch so that it is flush with our driveway? Newspaper delivery guy won't pull into our driveway because of the damage it does his car. We don't have quite the same choice...

Do private contractors have an obligation to clean up the street? This house on Southdowns (between Manor and Hawthorne) was paved and the street is a mess. It is not just stained, there is a lot of loose debris on the road from the paving process that could be cleaned up. Can the City contact the homeowner to find out who needs to get back out here to clean the street up and make their job site presentable? Thanks.

A small tree in the median along the creek has fallen over. This is on Southdowns just west of Hawthorne.

There is a pile of debris sitting along the edge of the road. This is on the east side of Manor Road, where Manor runs between Southdowns and Sheridan as it crosses over the creek. This looks like debris that came from the creek, maybe during a high water time. It just needs to be removed and cleaned up.

On Sheridan just west of Hawthorne there is a growing pothole. It is close to the pedestrian and bike path. I stepped in it the other day by accident, that is how I found it. This is not the largest pot hole in town, but where it is located makes it dangerous for cyclists, skaters, and children going to the park.

A tremendous amount of trash has been piling up in front of the apartments at 507 S Lincoln St for many weeks. The entire Lincoln & 2nd intersection has smelled like rotting garbage for a while now, with no end in sight.

On the east side of Hawthorne Drive just north of 1st Street (maybe 50-75 feet north?) there is a gravel driveway or alleyway. The gravel is spilling out onto Hawthorne and migrating to the south along Hawthorne. This is in a dangerous spot for bicyclists.
