Downed branches blocking sidewalk
Downed branches blocking sidewalk
Ever since the city installed curb bump-outs for on-street parking some years ago, drivers have been blowing out tires and ruining wheel hubs at the southeast corner of Maxwell Lane and South Fess, usually as they are driving south on Fess and turning east onto Maxwell. I know this issue has come up before, and various solutions have been tried, but something more substantive needs to happen -- either reduce the projection of the curb or get rid of the bump-out altogether. I would estimate 15-20 drivers a year hit this curb. Yesterday, it happened twice. One driver was lucky and just blew out a tire. The second had to call a tow truck, which we see over and over again. Each driver thinks he/she is the only one to do this, so they don't think to tell the city. Please do something to fix this problem. It's costing people time and money on a regular basis. Thanks!
Front yard overgrown with weeds (over 12"). Pampas grass in tree plot was trimmed a few weeks ago but is now obstructing sidewalk again.
Not only is this dumpster blocking the sidewalk, it’s gonna kill somebody walking into it
trash bins and move-out trash on University St. side of house
The situation I reported a couple of weeks ago has worsened. The big, commercial trash bins are stored on the University St. sidewalk, often open and with trash in them. This is a trash obstacle course to use the University-side sidewalk of this property.
Weeds growing across the sidewalk path
Plants on property encroaching onto sidewalk making it dangerous for pedestrians trying to avoid heavy , high speed traffic on atwater avenue. Plants are a trip hazard. Plants are also not allowing for handicap access on that block.
Overgrown, unpruned weeds make sidewalk unusable.
Hello! This property has excessive growth which is overflowing onto the sidewalk along Eagleson. Additionally visibility is very bad when turning onto Eagleson from University. Drivers cannot see traffic approaching from the north
