The green park bench on E. Southdowns just to the west of the intersection with Highland Avenue (near 1212 E. Southdowns Drive, on the north side of the street opposite the houses) has been damaged. The bench is off of its base/legs and just on the ground now. This could use some help to gets its legs back under it so people can take a load off of their legs and rest!
The eastern-most tree on the tree plot in front of my house is dead. The western-most tree on the tree plot(the tree next to the driveway) has many dead branches, and I fear the whole tree may be dying. Can at least the dead tree be removed? It would be good if the dead branches on the other tree could also be cut down. Thank you, Nancy Boerner
Sidewalk at 1215 Hunter completely blocked by fallen dead tree. It's a rental
Overarching bushes on Highland St. side obscure parking sign and (along with overspreading ground cover) may interfere with street sweeping, leaf collection, or snowplowing.
The alley next to my house needs to be graded (my car scrapes the middle of the alley road). There are two areas that are causing problems for my car. The first is one short stretch right at the entrance to the alley from Highland Ave. You have already done some work here (thank you!), but I still have to drive off to the side so that the bottom of my car doesn’t scrape. You can see that one side of the alley is lower than the other side. The second starts at the alley entrance from Ballantine Road (503 S. Ballantine Rd) and goes about halfway down the alley. In this area, the middle of the alley needs to be scraped down. Thank you.
Streetlight out at corner of Highland and East 1st Street. Very dark, lots of foot traffic, very dangerous situation. Please fix ASAP
Water is not coming in from the main. Suspect frozen pipe leading to house.
Alley side of rental house. HAND REPORT
Just north of 926 S. Highland Ave., a 15 ft area of the west side of the street (and storm drain) has crumbled to gravel-size and larger chunks of asphalt. As result of an earlier complaint, a small part was patched with blacktop that has now crumbled. My concern is not the ugly appearance. If we have a 5-10 year rain storm, the runoff down S. Highland easily will clog the storm drain underneath a parking area (owned by the city) in front for my home and likely will flood the first level of my home. I have observed the enormous flow of water in the storm drain during normal heavy rain and am certain an unusual downpour will now cause flooding. Please consider sending a truck to remove the street/storm drain debris.
A tree of about 8 inches DBH and located about a foot from the curb on S. Highland Ave. has a lot of poison ivy on it. The poison ivy extends about 2 feet over the street, so is a danger to pedestrians and cyclists (there is no sidewalk on either side of this block of Highland). Furthermore, the ivy has several large clusters of green, immature seeds (see both photos). It is therefore imperative that all of this ivy be removed or killed soon, before the seeds mature and are spread by birds. The tree and poison ivy are located across the street (Highland) from a bright blue house (this is at the corner at E. Wylie and Highland). Thanks for taking care of this. Jeff Palmer
