There is a parking space behind apartments at 401 S Woodlawn that extends into the alley making it difficult to get by. It does appear to be in the alley r.o.w.

Trash is always over-flowing at Subway.
overflowing dumpster
dumpster overflowing everyday, inviting rats and other animals
The stoplight at the corner of Woodlawn and Atwater is out.
Dumpster overflow, spilling into adjacent properties. Worse in alley.
This one in the attached photo is on S. Woodlawn Ave between Atwater Ave and E Hunter Ave. This is extremely deep and will definitely cause any cyclists or motorcyclists to fall. There are wider but shallower potholes just one block south of this section on S. Woodlawn. It would be great to get those fixed at the same time.
Pulling out of this alley either direction onto Woodlawn is a hazard, especially for pedestrians and bicyclists. To the right (on Subway/apartment bldg. side) is shrubbery that completely blocks the view of the sidewalk and street. Approaching it from the alley, we can't see if any vehicles or pedestrians are approaching from the north, traveling south. To the left of the alley is a rental house that has a shrub or tree or some other type of greenery that hangs far enough forward that we can't see what's approaching from the south, traveling north. We must ease our vehicles out into the street in order to see what's coming on Woodlawn in either direction. If we're turning right (to head north) when we ease out into the street for visibility, when we see that it's clear to turn onto Woodlawn it forces the front half of the vehicle to swing into the southbound lane. The shrub to the right of the alley (Subway building) needs to be trimmed drastically or removed altogether for safety's sake since the view of pedestrians and vehicle/bicycle traffic is completely blocked. And the tree/bush on the other side of the rental house to the left needs to be trimmed back enough for visibility. This alley is used daily by many. It contains IU parking spaces and parking for residential rental property, and U.S. Mail vehicles travel it daily for delivery. A colleague reported this to the city last year and nothing came of it.
