Excessive Growth

This Ditch Witch machine on a trailer has been carelessly left obstructing the entire lane of traffic on Southdowns just west of Hawthorne. Traffic is driving into the bicycle and pedestrian path with blatant disregard for those using the path. It is very dangerous and this company that left its trailer in the road should be fined a significant amount. Someone could very easily get seriously injured with this setup.
The sidewalk at 1004 W 7th is completely blocked by overgrown vegetation
A pine tree at the house on the northwest corner of the intersection at E Maxwell Lane and Woodlawn (likely 1005) is blocking the view of the stop sign as you approach from the east on Maxwell Lane. Drivers can't see the sign until only a a car-length or 2 away.
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.
Lawn has not been maintained this year and is quite high.
There is a sidewalk here that connects Meadowbrook to Fenbrook. At the top by Meadowbrook it is overgrown with poison ivy and other ground plants, narrowing the useable path by several feet. Given that it is also a blind corner this increases the danger of collisions with cyclists etc
Gray Ford Escape parked on street is blocking residence driveway and movement of vehicles parked in driveway. Vehicle has been left unattended in this state since at least 9:20 PM.
