Drain grate is sunk into asphalt too deep
Drain grate is sunk into asphalt too deep
This grate is directly in the lane a cyclist would use to travel west on Grimes between Henderson and Dunn Street. Last night a cyclist crashed his well-lit bicycle after encountering this grate in the dark road and with a short, barely visible, unmarked curb next to the depressed grate, he crashed his bike and was transported to the hospital by ambulance with severe injuries. The grate should be in the curb OR marked OR raised to the level of the road to improve the safety of cyclists. All cyclists swerve around this grate during the day, and it's a greater hazard at night.
This commercial property is in a residential neighborhood and has 3 unregistered vehicles parked along the street, numerous discarded tires, and lots of misc trash littering the outside.
Numerous junk vehicles at this location that meet the city code description of "abandoned" City code 15.04.020 section 6 - vehicles more than three years old that have not moved for 20 days that are in public view. They are not even registered! 2 of these vehicles are parked on unimproved surfaces - also this property is a junk yard.
The street light on the intersection of grimes lane and dunn is burnt out. It is dangerously dark. I am concerned about crime with the area not being well lit.
Tree limb hanging over the street on Grimes.
A person trimming trees at this location pulled down wires connected to utility pole 1408H - the disconnected wires are in the tops of the tree on the north side of where Wilson dead ends into a cut through and the other end is lying in the alley getting caught on cars on the south side of Wilson going towards the referenced utility pole - the person in question is remodeling a home on Henderson that back up to the alley
