A tree at the corner of Thatcher Court and Winston Street in Hyde Park has lots of dead branches that have been falling in recent thunderstorms into the traffic lane and on the sidewalk. It needs to be trimmed or removed for safety.
The culvert at the south end of the parking lot on Woodlawn across from The Bryan Park pool has been eroding for quite a while and looks like it could collapse.
There is a large tree overhanging the street parking in front of 900 S Washington St with a very large dead section right over cars parked there. In the time I've lived across the street, two cars have been damaged by falling limbs from this tree, including one incident where a branch approx. 8" in diameter speared through someone's sunroof, totalling the car. The dead branch currently on the tree is roughly the same size and is starting to shed sticks and bark. I would like for it to be removed by the proper authorities before it falls on a car, or into the roadway or bike lane and hurts someone. Thank you!
Trees growing up through the asphalt (along the stone wall border). We were advised by the HAND department to contact you about the tree removal so we can finish work on the stone wall itself.
The transition here from the street (Sycamore Ct) to the side path running down to the South East Park Tennis courts is covered in a giant pothole and crumbling asphalt. This is very difficult to navigate with a stroller, and slightly treacherous if just walking on foot. Could this be repaired please? It's been in bad shape for several years now, and keeps getting worse.
The overflow parking lot at Switchyard Park does not currently have a street light, making it very dark when returning to your car. The attached photo is from this past Food Truck Friday.

Yesterday I came home to find one of my trees had been cut down by the city. It is a tree I purchased and planted 10 years ago. With no prior notice, or any explanation, it was cut down yesterday. I complained on this forum last night, ticket #165085 and it was assigned to Charles Brandt. I checked status this morning and the ticket seems to have disappeared. I can find no record of it. I also did not receive a response of any kind. The tree was bought by me and no reimbursement has been offered for the city destroying my property. The original complaint was submitted properly, and assigned, and removed from the system without a response from the city. I demand an explanation and I will not be going away until this issue is resolved.
One of those horrible pear trees have fallen over again. Might be more reasonable to just cut them all down and put in new species everywhere.
Where the Southeast park/renwick trail runs parallel to hillside/east Moores there needs to be some kind of barrier between the road and the pedestrians. The speed limit is 30 but the average speed of traffic is 45-50
