The sidewalk at 1004 W 7th is completely blocked by overgrown vegetation
There is a sidewalk here that connects Meadowbrook to Fenbrook. At the top by Meadowbrook it is overgrown with poison ivy and other ground plants, narrowing the useable path by several feet. Given that it is also a blind corner this increases the danger of collisions with cyclists etc
overgrowth of trees & bimpending umpeeding the passability of sidewalk
Fiber project was blocking the sidewalk on N Monroe at approximately 5:10pm 7/8. No signs or barricades were present.
101 N Roosevelt ST has 2 trees with low hanging branches over the sidewalk on opposite ends of the property.
The sidewalk on the NE corner of Forrest and 11 is not accessible. It has a severely steep grade and bank (one corner is much higher than the opposite). I would not travel along the block on the North side of 11 between Forrest and Walnut Grove because of it.
Residence has excessive trash on property. Bins are overflowing onto the sidewalk and driveway and spilling into the street. Loose trash regularly found on Allen Street.
For over a year, both the owner and tenant of this location have made repeated offenses against city code - including dumping yard waste in the ally, not picking up trash in yard and on sidewalk, having multiple broken down cars parked (for over a year) on property without attempts to repair/remove them. Owners are constantly parking on sidewalk for days at a time. Tenants have aggressive dog that has jumped the fence and attacked people. Blue car in front of house (with flat tires) hasn't moved in over a year, and does not run. Blue SUV doesn't run, and hasnt moved in months. Trash and recycle bin are constantly over flowing and spilling trash. Bins are never removed from sidewalk. Witnesses have caught tenants throwing trash into neighbors yard.
Not sure of address - might be both houses - but the shrubs on the north side of the properties here have grown large by the sidewalk and make it difficult to navigate without stepping to the side and walking on the grass. Definitely not ADA compliant at present.
