Yew bush/tree has grown out so far that it halfway blocks the sidewalk. This makes for a dangerous situation at night because the sidewalk is in really bad shape at the same location. Those two things together pose a major trip hazard if people have to navigate around the yew in the dark and also have to watch their step on the crumbling sidewalk.
At the intersection of 4th & Grant, Contractors during the Hidden River Project failed to paint a yellow curb on the north side of the street. I see cars parking here (and today) and it’s not a meter parking spot. Can the city come and paint this in hope it will deter people from parking here. Too close to the intersection.
Duke Energy contractors (B&B ?) are leaving signage scattered around. There is a pile of orange-stripped wood signs and associated sandbags lying on the alley on the west side of Grant between 10th and Cottage Grove, and also there are two large, metal sign supports lying at the SW and NW corners of the intersection of CG and Grant.
City and/or Utility contractors (Duke, Meridiam, etc.) have been leaving signage scattered about the neighborhood. Currently, there is the following: 1) Tall, metal support at SW corner of Cottage Grove and Grant (322 E. Grant), 2) Identical metal support on south retaining wall of 414 E. Cottage Grove, 3) Pile of signage and sandbags on NE corner of 325 E. 10th Street, 4) Pile of signs in west yard of 418 N. Grant, 5) Bag of construction waste (NaOH ?) sitting on east side of Lincoln near 518 N. Lincoln.
A man picking up scooters from a corral today at 10:30am who was driving a pickup with a large trailor had parked in the middle of Grant Street at this location while attending to the scooters, blocking passage of vehicles traveling south. As I rode by (bicycle, not a scooter) he aggressively moved into what remained of the available street to use, attempted to block my path and emitted a deranged, sneering sound as I passed. It was a dangerous and unnecessary thing for him to do. He was possibly in his 30s, was a bit overweight and seemed a bit "limited". Please inform the scooter companies that their employees should be trained to respect people around them while they are working.
Load of mulch dumped in street
Excessive grass growth.
There is a no parking sign on the north bound side of Madison as you approach the stop sign at Dodds. A vehicle is regularly parked at the house on the southeast corner blocking over half of the north bound lane approaching the stop sign.
The contractors for the housing development by Bloomingfoods East are constantly using the Bfoods parking lot for staging, contractor parking, and using the access street for the same purpose. They are blocking traffic, and creating dangerous access conditions. Is this part of their traffic plan? If so, somebody in Planning needs to look closer at these plans.
Black top sidewalk put in by apartment contractors at Clarizz and 3rd looks like a turning lane!! Paint the curb and put walking sign on “sidewalk” ASAP please…. Tire marks already on curb where folks have hit it.
