The bushes block, the sidewalk, and when they’re wet it’s not very nice

Downed branches blocking sidewalk
Grass and weeds over 2 feet tall at old hospital properties.
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.
House appears to be vacant and in disrepair. Completely overgrown.
A tree in the yard across the street has fallen across Clifton Avenue in front of 705 S. Clifton. It is partially blocking traffic on the street.
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.
