When underground utility work was being performed, there was some exposed wire left behind in the yard. Requesting that the remaining exposed wire be buried or removed.
These hand rails stick into the public sidewalk - a pedestrian not paying attention could run into these or a bicyclist could really have a collision with these. In at least two places. And they have put reflective tape on them which seems to indicate past problems.
Many places on third street, but particularly driving onto Kimble, where you cant see incoming traffic coming up.
Landscaping impinging on the walkway. See photo.
Large invasive weed impinging on walkway. Blocked walk is actually on 7th. Tried attaching photo.
Shrub on corner of yard is so big that people on the sidewalk have to step onto the grass to get by it.
There is a cable that is attached to a couple of concrete or limestone blocks on the Westside of the old Smith Holden music store which face Morton Street just north of W. Kirkwood. There was also a large dumpster sitting a few feet to the North of the cable…the cable was very low to the ground and barely visible as it blended in with the surface beneath it…I tripped and fell (8/14) sustaining an injury and went to the Hospital Emergency room…Today (8/22), I noticed that the dumpster had been removed and the cables had what appeared to be fairly long orange horizontal noodles that had recently been placed around the cable…this injury could and should have been avoided had proper precautions been in place….I want to know who was responsible for putting these obstacles in place without proper or adequate warnings…I was told this is private property and would like to get the contact information for the present owner of the building or their representative…and hopefully insure that at least some signage can be put in place to close off access to this area so no one else is injured.
2nd & Rogers, heading south on Rogers -- people are idiotically going straight from the left turn lane. The lanes on Rogers south of 2nd were shifted for construction, and people have decided this means they should use the left turn lane to go straight. This morning, 3 cars went straight from the left turn lane, cutting off straight traffic from the straight/right lane at the light. People are just going through the intersection straight from the left lane with total disregard to the lane they are in and how common sense and logic work. Sit a cop out there and you can write tickets all day long. Put up some better signs with the construction to keep people using the proper lanes. Accidents are waiting to happen.
This is on the S Sheridan side of house. Residents have been trimming vegetation and leaving large bundles lying in middle of road, forcing southbound traffic into northbound lane. This has been going on for over a week.
