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

Pothole in road, on East Maxwell in front of 912
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.

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...

Do private contractors have an obligation to clean up the street? This house on Southdowns (between Manor and Hawthorne) was paved and the street is a mess. It is not just stained, there is a lot of loose debris on the road from the paving process that could be cleaned up. Can the City contact the homeowner to find out who needs to get back out here to clean the street up and make their job site presentable? Thanks.

- Case Date:

There is a pile of debris sitting along the edge of the road. This is on the east side of Manor Road, where Manor runs between Southdowns and Sheridan as it crosses over the creek. This looks like debris that came from the creek, maybe during a high water time. It just needs to be removed and cleaned up.

- Case Date:
- 8/9/2021
On Sheridan just west of Hawthorne there is a growing pothole. It is close to the pedestrian and bike path. I stepped in it the other day by accident, that is how I found it. This is not the largest pot hole in town, but where it is located makes it dangerous for cyclists, skaters, and children going to the park.
