220 W 14th St. This is a repeat of #212155. I need you to understand the methodology behind this photograph. I held my phone pointing directly ahead of me, with both of my feet squarely on the sidewalk (at the edge of the sidewalk). My phone was directly in front of my face. The branch directly in the center of the photo is exactly where my eyes would be if i had continued to walk forwards. Practically, this is a genuine problem because I really do walk along the edge of the sidewalk so that i can walk 2- or 3-abreast with my family. It's a safety problem because if I do not see the branch then it will hit my eye, as has already happened at this location! It's an inconvenience because it is a point where the sidewalk narrows from 5ft to effectively 4ft. Pedestrians are forced to reconfigure their groups at these narrowings. It costs us time and energy and makes conversing difficult. I'm not sure what enforcement authority you're acting under but it's a legal problem as well, for example BMC 12.24.040 requires a clear distance of 8ft above sidewalks. FWIW, I'm asking for 6ft. The transportation plan also weighs in on this, Table 5 Pedestrian Zone Design Parameters "Clear space for all pedestrian travel, should be clear of any and all fixed obstacles." I didn't think it was necessary to be so explicit but they were -- "any and all" definitely includes branches that extend 6 inches into your eye sockets. The specific undesirability of having fixed obstacles extending over the sidewalk exactly at eye height *for any distance* has been explicitly acknowledged and i can't believe i'm trying to point this out today. Anyways i really do appreciate that this has seen already more enforcement action than the whole city put together before about 2022 but if this is what compliance looks like then we have a problem.

The Shalom driveway is CITY PROPERTY and there is a sinkhole very close to the gas meter. My prior report was closed all ready. Does that mean someone has been out and determined that it is not a safety issue? Thank you.

Does the fountain as City Hall Plaza ever flow? I took those photos Monday evening. The drinking fountain that I reported last month hasn't been fixed yet. Related?

There are 2 trees here falling across the sidewalk. The owner needs to take care of it before they fall and hurt someone. They are along the sidewalk that runs parallel with Kinser.

During farmers market weekends, the B Line trail often gets blocked by people forming a line across the trail (red line drawn on photo), instead of sticking along parallel to direction of travel on the trail to the side (pink line drawn on photo). I would like to ask if the city could work with Le Petit Cafe to create a barrier with signage, perhaps out of traffic cones (white dots drawn on photo), on the weekends in order to facilitate a line forming in a way that keeps the B Line trail accessible.
