There is a homeless camp that has formed on the sidewalk and curb. The area is a safety hazard with the open air drug market of Seminary Park across the street and now there's a mushrooming number of folks under the influence of drugs that are camped out around the clock on the sidewalk/curb.
Front yard overgrown with weeds (over 12"). Pampas grass in tree plot was trimmed a few weeks ago but is now obstructing sidewalk again.
On June 1 and July 1 I reported that vegetation is blocking the multiuse path on Sare Rd. (180480 and180147) and the issue has not yet been addressed. If uReport is not the appropriate place to report the problem, please let me know and I can contact the relevant department heads, council member, mayor's office to request help. Last week, I observed a young cyclist almost fall of his bike trying to avoid the vegetation. I hope it can be taken care of quickly.
There is a large tree along the Hunter footpath in the middle (Eastside neighborhood), where utility overhead lines cross. We have watched the tree splitting. It began with a 3" split and now it is more than 2 feet. Parts of this tree will fall on the foot path, if nothing is done.
This has been going on all day with pedestrians having to avoid the public library
trash bins and move-out trash on University St. side of house
Sidewalk obstructed by overgrown yard--both laterally and from the low-hanging tree/shrub branches
Low tree branches obstruct sidewalk right of way from above. Also where 812 and 808 boundary lies, low vines and shrubs obstruct sidewalk from the side.
Dumpster is persistently placed where the horizonal bar, about 5 feet high, sticks out into the public sidewalk right of way. I am worried that a child is going to run down the sidewalk and get a concussion.
