The overgrown bushes along the west side of Madison on this corner make it difficult to walk on the sidewalk. The overhanging tree limb also makes it difficult to see traffic when driving east on Driscoll and turning north onto Madison.

There are many pedestrians like myself who walk North Walnut under the railroad trestle just north of 13th Street. On the west side of Walnut, this is so overgrown with weeds (some nearly trees) it becomes difficult to safely navigate there. Who is responsible to maintain this problem? If it's the railroad, they should be fined - especially in the winter when snow is NEVER cleared. The weeds are a nasty sight, too. One more thing, what should we do when we see homeless people making their 'homes' under the bridge. I just came past there and a couple of scary guys (trolls??) were making themselves comfortable. I'm a middle-aged single woman w/o a car so I often have to go to CVS from my home at 11th and Walnut. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Several trees on east side of Park Ridge East by commercial buildings along sidewalk are overgrown and not only prevent pedestrians from walking on sidewalk but pedestrians trying to cross Park Ridge toward Hagan are unable to see traffic going north on Park Ridge. Trees need to be trimmed.

The weeds along the street are overwhelming the sidewalk in this area. Not sure who is responsible for upkeep--city or adjacent property owners.

If possible, I would like to see the sidewalk on the south side of East 2nd Street (between Highland Ave and Ballantine) made available for walking. There are big bushes that perpetually extend far into the sidewalk and no one is able to walk or run on it. Thank you!

The second question is about pruning - I have a friend over in the Crestmont area who walks to Butler Park often, and there are some trees on Fairview, where it intersects with 11th St, that just completely block the sidewalk there. It's absolutely impossible to walk on! Would it be possible for someone from the city to prune those trees? It's not simply a nuisance - you really are forced to walk directly in the street, and there's only a sidewalk on one side on that part of Fairview.
