There is a large downed tree branch blocking the entire street at about 703 S. Rose Avenue.
Anonymous complaint phoned in this morning. Caller said the trees at Ralston & Ford and bushes at Graham & Rockport need to be trimmed. They are overgrown, making it hard for drivers to see oncoming traffic.
A tree in the yard across the street has fallen across Clifton Avenue in front of 705 S. Clifton. It is partially blocking traffic on the street.

It appears owners built new out-buildings in the back of their property within the last year. Are these up to code? This property also has a lot of garbage and equipment strewn about the yard (vending machines, etc).
Complaint of overgrowth from property obstructing sidewalk path.
Front yard overgrown with weeds (over 12"). Pampas grass in tree plot was trimmed a few weeks ago but is now obstructing sidewalk again.
Ever since the city installed curb bump-outs for on-street parking some years ago, drivers have been blowing out tires and ruining wheel hubs at the southeast corner of Maxwell Lane and South Fess, usually as they are driving south on Fess and turning east onto Maxwell. I know this issue has come up before, and various solutions have been tried, but something more substantive needs to happen -- either reduce the projection of the curb or get rid of the bump-out altogether. I would estimate 15-20 drivers a year hit this curb. Yesterday, it happened twice. One driver was lucky and just blew out a tire. The second had to call a tow truck, which we see over and over again. Each driver thinks he/she is the only one to do this, so they don't think to tell the city. Please do something to fix this problem. It's costing people time and money on a regular basis. Thanks!
Cleaning personnel at house next door are blocking the alley, again. Alley runs east/west from Park to Woodburn between 1st and University
