The issue is a fire hydrant on 4319 Cricket Knoll Dr. in Gentry Estates. While it doesn't really look like it sticks out that much from the sidewalk (you'll see by the attached photos) as there is a cutout. But if you're blind and your can sway your cane under it and you're moving over to avoid the tree branch, then you can actually not know it's there. The complainant has hit it with the side of his leg three times and has fallen to the sidewalk.
Kinser pike just west of n skyline drive. Divot in road full width of road looks like might be over a pipe under the road. Getting worse
The front cement area at the end of the driveway (on city street) is deteriorating, very unsightly, and could be a safety issue.
Potholes and general surface area of brick crosswalk is in disrepair, with uneven surface area. The concrete surrounding the brick is falling apart, creating hazards for walkers, bicyclists, runners, etc. Restructuring & re-surfacing needed.
There is overgrowth reported extending to the roadway on the east side of South Highland Avenue where Wylie Street runs eastward into South Highland; the land itself is part of the Old Kinsey Estate.
Excessive growth is just for starters. The yard is nothing but overgrowth - noxious weeds, invasive honeysuckle. This is a CITY lot, not the county. In addition, I question the safety of the building and the property itself. The condition of this property violates numerous city codes and it not acceptable in my neighborhood - my CITY neighborhood.
City Tree: I have previously spoken with the Director of the forestry dept in Park and Rec regarding this issue, but the issue has yet to be resolved. He said that the tree should be take care of at some point this Spring. I'm still hoping and waiting. The tree is a very large/tall dead Ash tree. The tree is a "City tree" along my property. The tree is very tall, is an Ash, and is dead. I would really hope that it would be taken down before it falls down and before it spreads many more emerald ash borers. The Tree is along West 12th Street at the corner of my property and the gravel alley the runs in the direction of W. 11th.
Tree blocking road in front of Winslow sports park next to YMCA S.
Clarification of case #168944. To answer the question for a city employee assigned to look at this "Can we check and see if this was CBU?" I am pretty sure not. The clay and gravel appeared after the home owner had work done on the north, alley side of herproperty. After she had the excavated material put on the tree plot, she informed the neighborhood listserv that there was "topsoil" if any of us wanted it. I am pursuing this anonymously through uReport because that individual is difficult to deal with. Thanks.
