Blocked Sidewalk
1001 E 1st ST
- Case Date:
- 7/29/2021
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.

Street & Traffic Signs
1501 S Highland AVE
- Case Date:
- 7/29/2021
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.

Street Trees
1248 E Wylie ST
- Case Date:
- 7/28/2021
A tree of about 8 inches DBH and located about a foot from the curb on S. Highland Ave. has a lot of poison ivy on it. The poison ivy extends about 2 feet over the street, so is a danger to pedestrians and cyclists (there is no sidewalk on either side of this block of Highland). Furthermore, the ivy has several large clusters of green, immature seeds (see both photos). It is therefore imperative that all of this ivy be removed or killed soon, before the seeds mature and are spread by birds. The tree and poison ivy are located across the street (Highland) from a bright blue house (this is at the corner at E. Wylie and Highland). Thanks for taking care of this. Jeff Palmer
