Overgrown yard, blocking roadway
Overgrown yard, blocking roadway
Westbound traffic on E Hillside Dr has a dedicated turn lane on to S Highland Ave. The painted lane demarcations have faded from traffic and it is difficult to distinguish lanes. This presents a hazard for traffic turning from E Hillside Dr on to S Highland Ave from traffic traveling eastbound on E Hillside Dr as the eastbound traffic frequently enters the dedicated turn lane. The lane demarcations should be repainted.
Kmart islands need cut down.
Overgrown trees at Fountain Drive and N Adams force pedestrians and kids on bikes into the street. The city trees need to be trimmed and trained.
I noticed a large bald hornet nest in a city tree in the treeplot in front of 715 West 13th Street. City employees (trash collection), postal workers, and members of the public regularly walk down this sidewalk and they will be walking directly under this nest. My understanding is that bald hornets are quite aggressive, and this is unsafe. I hope the City can remove it quickly. Thank you. (Not sure if you can see it or not in the photo, it is quite large)

Over the past several months, the sidewalk in front of 1001 East 1st Street has gradually become almost completely blocked by trees and bushes encroaching from the yard. Yesterday, I was relieved to see someone *finally* trimming the bushes—but the work is completely inadequate. Half the sidewalk is still blocked, the bushes and trees still overhang the full sidewalk at a height low enough to force pedestrians to duck, and the trimmed branches have been left lying on the sidewalk. Please require the property owner (or owners—it's hard to tell where the property line is, and some of the problematic bushes and trees may be on the land belonging to the next house) to fully clear the sidewalk and haul away the resulting debris. It shouldn't be necessary to duck and fight one's way down the sidewalk, or to come away smeared in bird droppings.
913 W Graham Dr. Too many people living at this house. Loud, reckless neighbors. City buses run down Graham Dr and can barely squeeze between all the cars they have parked on the side of the road. Easily 10+ people living in one single family home. We are just requesting that authorities look in to if this is legal and perhaps ask if they can remove all the vehicles from in the road.

The lot is overgrown and attracting bugs and animals. Making it impossible for kids to play outside.
