On the sidewalk on the corner of 8th and Washington, there is a square stone block embedded in the sidewalk. It is a tripping hazard. I have stumbled on it twice and this second time I broke my toe. I am not sure what it’s doing there, but it is immovable. It is on 8th St, beside the Stone Mansion on the corner.

About 20ft back from the southwest corner of 8th and Washington (between the street and the sidewalk) there is the bottom/stump of what was maybe a parking sign. If moving to the side to allow someone to pass on sidewalk or more likely someone getting out of the passenger side of a car could injure themselves, especially at night. Please remove or replace. Thank you.
Street Lights

Please refer to uReport case #182390. There is an identical problem with the overhead street lamp at Washington/Cottage Grove and also the one at the intersection of Lincoln/Cottage Grove, that being that the lamp is an harsh, intense, ultraviolet-like purple color that is glaring and makes it difficult to see. It is a hazard and an annoyance. Please replace these lamps with normal, soft-light sodium lamps to match the others in the neighborhood. This is not just an issue of unsightly appearance - the lamps really are a hazard, as both drivers and pedestrians at night need to shade their eyes at the intersections.

There is a City-owned tree in the ROW that is completely covered in vines, some of which are poison ivy. The vines are right next to the sidewalk, and are so high that the vine is going to seed. Is this the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, or does the City attend to its own trees?

One of the two trees in the City ROW in front of this house (the west tree) is almost completely dead with large branches high up that look like they could fall any minute onto something or someone. The east tree looks fine, except for all the vines growing on it that could be stressing it.

Temporary Signage w/o permit

- Case Date:
- 6/15/2020
Griffin Realty "For Sale" sign has been placed in the City right-of-way in front of this house. Company has been contacted about the issue, but they have hitherto arrogantly dismissed the situation. Sign should be located on south side of sidewalk on the actual property being offered for sale, not in the City right-of-way that makes the sign visible for several blocks.
