Uprooted bike rack in front of Maxs Place
Two very large pine trees block the view going into the curve on N. Orris Drive. There have almost been numerous accidents, because of the lack of sight from the overgrown trees into the street/curb.
Foliage is blocking at least half of the sidewalk running from Maxwell Lane to First Street -- and there are also low-hanging branches along the path as well.
trees and bushes obstruct view at Highland and Azalea lane. Sorry, I previously submitted report and erronously typed Azalea and Keri Marie. Highland was what I meant (runs past YMCA and Bloomington Learning Center)
The weeds along the street are overwhelming the sidewalk in this area. Not sure who is responsible for upkeep--city or adjacent property owners.
Growth on and above public sidewalk makes it difficult I'd not impossible to use the public sidewalk. Owners at 3640 and 3720 Brighton Avenue should address this.
Due to the Sare/Rogers close, lots of traffic is coming through Hyde Park along Olcott. Now that school is out, there are more small children out playing and I saw one nearly hit by fast car yesterday. Could we put one of those signs up to show the driver speed relative to the actual speed? I really appreciate the police cars driving through or stopping but when they aren't here, people speed again.
Overgrown bushes and weeds makes it where you cannot see coming out of the alley. When traveling south in north/south alley between Henderson and Fess; and Hunter and Atwater; and looking west down Hunter, overgrowth causing a line-of-sight issue. See photo.
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.
6-12-12: Sidewalk not accessible to person in electric wheelchair; got stuck; rescued by two passers-by. East side of Walnut just south of 3rd street. rough gravel where sidewalk dug-up.
