Over-growth on the sidewalks. Also check the entire street.

Backups on N. Smith continue for left turners. Particular concern that the State is not putting in a signal at 10th and Smith with new eastside developments. Left turners from N. Smith already yield instead of stop, creating dangers, because of inability to frankly stop due to small gaps in traffic. A signal or other traffic measure for safe left turns from N. Smith is needed. People will be using that gateway to get to the new hospital site. Same with buses. May be State intersection but City needs to advocate appropriately. Plenty of capacity exists on 10th, IF you can get onto it. Correct this danger before needless deaths occur.
There are two signs that were blocking the sidewalk all summer saying that the sidewalk ahead was closed for construction. They never served any useful purpose and the construction has been done for weeks. Someone moved them onto the grass, but they should be taken away because you can still bump your head on them.
Euclid / Second north side right of way next to sidewalk w 3-4 foot tall plants that make impossible AND dangerous to attempt left turn left heading east on to 2nd St. Please cut down this hazard before someone gets injured or killed. It’s challenging enough
This tension wire is a hazard for cyclists and needs to be well lit for better visibility in the dark. Reflectors on the wire and along the bend in the path would also add to the safety. I am a 7th grade student at Jackson Creek Middle School. I ride my bike to school every day on the High St recreational path at around 7:30 am. It is dark at that time and I use lights on my bike. On Friday, Nov 5, I was biking down the hill towards this spot. I was going fast down this hill to have enough speed for the uphill right past this spot. Unfortunately, even with my bike light, the tension wire and the sudden bend in the path is hard to see in the dark. My shoulder hit the tension wire and knocked me off my bike. My bike had minor damage to the seat.
Yard waste, upholstered furniture, truck bed full of trash.
There are "bump-outs" with pipes extending up from the ground surrounding them. I imagine the purpose for these is to protect pedestrians. The only problem is that they extend into the street, causing pedestrians who would not normally be out into the street this far to be there, and also they make it dangerous for cars turning left on each of these (Walnut onto 14th, 14th onto College)because it narrows the turn access, and it also blocks the site of the driver. Why are we putting pedestrians out into the street? Seems like a dangerous situation to me. Thank you.
Left turn backups continue to get worse from Smith and 10
There is a dead dog in the gutter & at least 3 mattresses disposed of at the dead end of South Basswood Drive going towards 3rd street passed the Mueller Apartment complex.
At 7th/Morton, the “new traffic pattern” sign is *after* the intersection. It should be located *before* the intersection to alert folks that cross-traffic no longer stops.
