Forsythia bush closing off sidewalk. Reached out first to the property management company, but as usual, no reply or action taken.

Recurring issue, bushes impinging the sidewalk.
Driveway gravel covering sidewalk. I have rectified this before when the volume was much smaller. It seem to be a defect, although it may meet code. Neither residents, nor owners/management are cognizant of the issue, apparently. They still haven't rectified the reported and NOVed light trespass issue either.
Resident (Ron) called to complain about standing water that collects at the end of their driveway apron, which is a few feet from a sewer drain. Resident reported that the problem may be related to developer construction in the area (i.e., staging of concrete with massive trucks) which has damaged curbs and sidewalks. Camera-ing stormwater or other facilities may be warranted. ENG is following up about expressed concerns of damaged public ROW assets (sidewalks, curbs).
The intersection of N Jefferson St and E 5th St currently only has a two way stop. Drivers and pedestrians would highly benefit from making it a four way stop. Cars drive 40+ mph down N Jefferson St, which makes it dangerous when proceeding from E 5th St. It is hard to see if cars are coming, because of the street parking. Many pedestrians have to cross this street in order to get to campus. I believe in the last year there have been at least 3 accidents here.
Traffic calming area and ROW overgrown into the street making it difficult for two cars to drive through.
Landscaping impinging on the walkway. See photo.
Large invasive weed impinging on walkway. Blocked walk is actually on 7th. Tried attaching photo.
Maintenance needed on south side of 7th btw Roosevelt and Clark. Vegetation creeping into the street.
Water is flowing from the lawn on the west side of Roosevelt, just south of Fifth St., and then running down the sidewalk. Looks like a leak; also the sidewalk is a bit slippery because the water is flowing through tree debris.
