These hand rails stick into the public sidewalk - a pedestrian not paying attention could run into these or a bicyclist could really have a collision with these. In at least two places. And they have put reflective tape on them which seems to indicate past problems.
Shrubs along sidewalk between 708 E. 11th (comes up as "044K" on google maps) and the empty lot immediately to the west have grown so much that it is difficult to pass, and at night it is so dark there that pedestrians cannot even see the bushes before they run right into them.
front and driveway, would like an inspector out as soon as possible, thinks trash will spread throughout neighborhood
trash being stock piled at the back of the house
We are wondering if the E/W stretch of concrete between 707 N. Lincoln and 711 N. Lincoln is an alley (public thoroughfare) or a driveway (private property). If the former, the resident/tenant at 707 has blocked passage through it with stones and a basketball court. We have assumed for a long time that this is actually an alley and would like to be able to walk down this stretch, but if it is indeed private property we would like that made clear so that we not trespass.
Just drove by scooters laying in the street
This intersection is very difficult to see around when you are trying to come off of 8th st, street parking blocks visibility to see if cars are approaching from N Walnut, and often times results in having to inch up into the crosswalk which blocks pedestrians. Even inching up is often times not enough as the front end of a car can stick out into the left most lane of N Walnut. There needs to be something done to increase visibility for 8th St. as it is not a protected intersection.
