At the dead end road of Hawthorne, the city installed a bike/ walking trail w/no caution sign to alert walkers/bikers of the hidden driveway @ 1033 Hawthorne (my parents home). Bikes come zipping down, line of site NOT clear. Worried someone could get injured. Please consider & thank you:)

You have to pull all the way to the very edge of the road to see around the bushes and shrubs that grow in that gore/traffic island between Dodds, Walnut, and College Ave. The shrubs are grown out to the point where visibility is obscured, making it difficult to see around them until you're basically in the road. This is especially dangerous because of how busy Walnut St is during the day.
There's a massive bush that grows right here that makes it impossible to see until you're basically already in the road (driving east on Dodds). I almost got hit today because a car had to pull so far out from the street to look around that bush. There's also a pedestrian crossing here, and I've seen a number of close calls with people trying to cross and a car pulling beyond the crosswalk to see around that bush. I don't know if it's city property or private, but it's a hazard.
the alley behind this building between rogers and madison that connects 3rd st and 4th street has multiple huge potholes that keep getting worse...they are all big enough that it could easily pop someones tire or someone could get seriously injured if they happened to walk through one in the evening. this is a high traffic are due to the i-fell building shops and the office spaces.
The storm drain here routinely clogs with leaves and floods this corner of the street. Me or neighbors have to unclog it constantly. Sometimes 3-4 times on a rainy day. Is there some engineering fix for this? A larger grate or different grate design perhaps? I fear one day I'll get electrocuted trying to clear this grate during a lightning storm. The alternative to risking death is letter my garage flood, which also seems unpleasant. Thanks!
According to John Garzee’s response to Ureport #210034, “Cyclists traveling east-west are not being detected at the signal, so they have to use the pedestrian push button to get a green. The current equipment does not reliably detect bikes, and fixing this would require upgrading the detection system. We’ve noted the location, but until funding is available for that upgrade, the signal will not consistently turn green for people biking.” In light of this situation, are there resources available to make the pedestrian beg button accessible to cyclists? It is currently impossible for a cyclist to press the button without getting off the bike and walking to the sidewalk.

The eastern set of lights on the south set of tennis courts went out with a burst of sparks from one of the boxes on the north of the two light poles. The lights had been on for about 30 min when this happened. No people or animals were near the pole when it happened.
Light bulb on street light is not working.
