Traffic slowing curb cuts installed on Allen are filled with weeds. Walking by them forces you out into the street and visibility is hampered by the weeds

1615/1605 University: 'Speed Limit 25' sign being obscured by overhanging branches. Also, could the shrubs between 1615 and 1605 be trimmed to that they won't take up part of the street? With cars solidly parked on one side, sometimes it is hard to avoid hitting the branches.
There are a number of deep potholes along the northern edge of the public right of way between 616 S. Walnut St and 620 S. Walnut St.
Couldn't figure out how to edit case#177072 to include location. This is the location of the alley way that scrapes all our cars. Van scrapes front and back end trying to get up it to our driveway. South madison entrance of the alley way between 1117 s rogers and 1115 s rogers.
Overgrown, weed-filled, unsightly bump out. There is also high weeds near stop sign at this corner of Grant and Allen. All bump outs on Allen look terrible.
The street has a number of potholes and areas where the pavement has chipped/chucked or generally needs maintenance. At the least, the lines that separate cars from bikes and pedestrians is in need of repainting. Thanks!
Curb in roudabout has cracked and is falling apart. Pieces are entering roadway posing possible damage to vehicles.
This is follow up on ureport #176835, covering the sidewalk just west and south of the train bridge at 11th and fairview. After 2 weeks without any progress from the city, I started doing it myself. I removed most of the large honeysuckle plants growing within 2-4 ft of the sidewalk. I removed the branches overhanging within 6.5ft of the sidewalk. As you can see in this picture, I shoveled the dirt off of the inner 1ft of the sidewalk, *and found the edge of the sidewalk* for the first time in decades!!! I did not complete the shoveling. I've put in about 3hrs labor at this site so far and anticipate another 1.5hrs before completion. It would be awesome if this kind of clearing happened at the numerous places where hillsides have collapsed onto sidewalks, often reducing effective width by 25-50%. should i finish shoveling this one or can someone in public works do it?
The traffic light at Bloomfield Rd (2nd Street) & Rolling Ridge Way is a problem during normal commuting hours (7:30am-8:30am & 4:30pm-5:30pm). In the morning, traffic comes to a crawl and is backed up from this intersection all the way to the exits of Highway 69, often blocking the Highway exits. The short trip between the Highway exits and this intersection would normally take less than 1 minute. During the morning commute hours, it takes 5+ minutes. A similar situation occurs in the evening. Westbound traffic comes to a crawl and is commonly backed up from this intersection to S Patterson Drive, or sometimes even farther. This traffic light is certainly the cause. After passing this light, the congestion is no where to be seen and traffic flows normally. My suggestion would be to alter the programming of this light, during these specific hours, to be much more heavily biased toward East-West traffic. Perhaps it could stay green for East-West traffic for 50% longer than standard, or similar.
