Plants overgrown and block sidewalk at NW corner of Madison and Kirkwood
Good Afternoon. I hope that someone in your department can check into this issue. In the 1200 block of South Madison Street, the westside sidewalk is blocked by what used to be (I assume) a sofa and a downed tree. The sofa has been there for a couple of weeks & the tree came down this past weekend. I live in the 1400 block and drive past it daily so I, and I'm sure the rest of my neighbors, would truly appreciate it if these problems could be taken care of. Thank you so much! Sincerely, Martha Selk
Reference UReport Case #180780 Sorry, I should have said that the sidewalk that is blocked in the 1200 block of South Madison is on the eastside, not the westside. So Sorry! Thanks again. Martha Selk
Update to UReports #180780 & #180783 Good Morning! Someone has shifted the tree so that none of it is in the street but it seemed to still be somewhat on the sidewalk. Thanks again. Martha Selk
2nd email, NOTHING has been done in 4 weeks. 3 handicap people in neighborhood and can't walk because people will not trim the tree limbs and bushes. The sidewalk runs parallel to N.Kinser Pike and around the corner to W. Acuff. Ranges from 1102 W. Yellowwood Court , up to 1126 thru 1158 W.Sugarberry Court. THIS NEEDS TO GET DONE.
Today I was almost killed by a motorist on the 7th St. bike trail. There needs to be signage for the motorists. Too many out of town drivers on a regular basis to think it can be a learned infrastructure!
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.
N Smith and Morningside remains dangerous with many not stopping on N Smith. Yes per Planning signs may be "visible" per the book but doesn't mean people expect and abide by them there - flashers or other item especially to protect bikers crossing at Greenway needed. Though State intersection, N. Smith and 10th also remains dangerous for turns during heavy traffic.
Partially blocked sidewalk because of overhanging bushes in front of 710 E First Street.
Not sure if this is should be addressed to the city or county but the sidewalk on the south side of Tapp Rd between I-69 and the Clear Creek trail has tree branches that are blocking the sidewalk making it impossible to use. The branches need to be trimmed way back.
