The public sidewalks in front of Lovers Playground are completely impassible, and pedestrians are forced to walk in the busy street. It appears that the owners even used the sidewalks to dump snow that was cleared from their parking lot. Photos taken 2026 Jan 29 – 2:25 PM
Sidewalks along W 14th St between Madison and College have not been cleared. The landlords did have their parking lots maintained but they piled the snow into tall embankments on the sidewalks and didn't touch the sidewalks at all. It's a big concern because the guests of these units routinely are parking in the street in the narrowly cleared area making it barely passable for cars while pedestrians also are trying to walk on the street.
All of the properties along the west side of Madison St south of 17th street for a block and a half have not shoveled their sidewalks. Addresses 1221 N Madison St, 1217, 1213, 1205, 1203, 1201, 1123, 1121, 1119 N Madison St. Most of these are rental properties, including some newly constructed multi-unit ones that don't seem to have rental permits yet? Anyways, the new landlord needs to learn their property management responsibilities. Thanks!
Gas station at 401 W 17th (southwest corner of 17th & Madison) has not shoveled their sidewalks. Thanks!
Snow mounded on top of sidewalk on the bridge over the train tracks at about 800 N Rogers. It's where Rogers St becomes Madison St. Our bridges are a key part of our transportation network and need to be maintained even though there is no adjacent property owner!!! The sidewalk is blocked on both sides of the bridge.
Between 811 and 815 N Jackson, the sidewalk across the alley is . . . gone?? There's just a grassy gap there now. It's surely the city's responsibility to replace it since it across the alley.
Between 925 and 927 W Jackson, there's a sidewalk across the alley that's made of asphalt or something. It's down at a different level from the surrounding sidewalk and is a tripping hazard. Because it's across the alley, it's the city's responsibility to repair.
The bit of sidewalk across the alley is made of bricks that are at a significantly lower level than the surrounding sidewalk and therefore is a tripping hazard. Because it's in front of an alley, I suppose it's the city's responsibility to upgrade the bit to something safer, like has been done on the opposite side of the street.
See case #201777. Did owner ever reply to letter from HAND? It has been almost a year, and nothing has been done. Wall along Lincoln is still in need of attention. Experience with property owner (Parker rentals) has been they will not do anything unless there is a fine involved.
