220 W 14th St. This is a repeat of #212155. I need you to understand the methodology behind this photograph. I held my phone pointing directly ahead of me, with both of my feet squarely on the sidewalk (at the edge of the sidewalk). My phone was directly in front of my face. The branch directly in the center of the photo is exactly where my eyes would be if i had continued to walk forwards. Practically, this is a genuine problem because I really do walk along the edge of the sidewalk so that i can walk 2- or 3-abreast with my family. It's a safety problem because if I do not see the branch then it will hit my eye, as has already happened at this location! It's an inconvenience because it is a point where the sidewalk narrows from 5ft to effectively 4ft. Pedestrians are forced to reconfigure their groups at these narrowings. It costs us time and energy and makes conversing difficult. I'm not sure what enforcement authority you're acting under but it's a legal problem as well, for example BMC 12.24.040 requires a clear distance of 8ft above sidewalks. FWIW, I'm asking for 6ft. The transportation plan also weighs in on this, Table 5 Pedestrian Zone Design Parameters "Clear space for all pedestrian travel, should be clear of any and all fixed obstacles." I didn't think it was necessary to be so explicit but they were -- "any and all" definitely includes branches that extend 6 inches into your eye sockets. The specific undesirability of having fixed obstacles extending over the sidewalk exactly at eye height *for any distance* has been explicitly acknowledged and i can't believe i'm trying to point this out today. Anyways i really do appreciate that this has seen already more enforcement action than the whole city put together before about 2022 but if this is what compliance looks like then we have a problem.

Two porta potties that smell so bad and are literally almost on the sidewalk of the downtown Square. These are for construction site use, and should be contained behind their fencing.

Overgrowth encroaching on the sidewalk. Unsure if this is city property, but I have seen the city's equipment working on the pond previously.

Hello. I've reported this before. When people are turning left from the Bypass onto 10th, it's hard to see where to turn. Last week someone made a left into the oncoming traffic lane. We were driving East on 10th, with one car in front of us, just after going under the RR tracks, in front of Tulip Tree apartments. The car in front of us saw the oncoming car in our lane and stopped. The oncoming car then pulled over to the correct lane. I'm guessing it was someone from out of town, here for IU new student orientation. There needs to be better markers or signage or upright poles or something to indicate they have to turn into the 3rd lane, to the right of the tiny median. Or paint the median bright colors. Something, please? Thank you.
