I just went to pull my recycling bin back to my garage when I found that the bin is still full of recycling. Why?

Overgrown yard, blocking roadway
Westbound traffic on E Hillside Dr has a dedicated turn lane on to S Highland Ave. The painted lane demarcations have faded from traffic and it is difficult to distinguish lanes. This presents a hazard for traffic turning from E Hillside Dr on to S Highland Ave from traffic traveling eastbound on E Hillside Dr as the eastbound traffic frequently enters the dedicated turn lane. The lane demarcations should be repainted.
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.

Grass & weeds are growing outside the backyard fence and is over 12 inches high. They have completely ignored the sidewalk area behind the house with no mowing all year.
This lawn has not been touched (almost abandoned). The weeds and grass exceeds 12 inches all over the yard, hurting the values of homes in the neighborhood. Please require a change.
Hello, Can I please a tree planted in front of my house? Recently saw out neighbors getting tress planted by the city on the strip of land between the street and the side walk. Thank you in advance,
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...
There are multiple low-hanging trees along S Park Ridge Road that make the sidewalk difficult to walk on. I believe these are city-maintained trees on the easement.
