There are cars parked in the alley behind 1000 and 1002 East Atwater on a daily basis. This makes it difficult for trash truck to remove bins. Trash overflowing into the alley and street does not get picked up.
overgrown grass and weeds at 1006 E. 1st Street.
Missing street signs in the intersection of E First Street and S Woodlawn Ave
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.

Overgrown bushes to east of driveway block the sidewalk
Overgrown vegetation on north side of E First is blocking sidewalk. NOTE: apparently someone else reported this same problem on 5/24 in ticket #183948. The city closed the case on 5/26 with a Notice of Violation but nothing has happened yet to make the sidewalk passable.

Pothole. Hawthorne at University
A tall plywood fence is being installed between the houses at 1000 and 1002 East Atwater in order to provide an area for drinking/partying. These "fence" panels are removed and stored during city business hours on the deck adjoining the house at 1002 East Atwater. These are the dates the fence has appeared: 8/23, 8/24, 8/25, 8/26 8/31, 9/2, 9/3, 9/4, 9/8, 9/9, 9/14, 9/15. In addition to hiding large crowds of kids drinking, the party area draws increased traffic, trash, noise and the possibility of the "fence" falling and injuring someone. In spite of the fact that the property owner and tenants have been notified that the fence is not allowed it is repeatedly put up and removed to facilitate crowds and loud parties. Would the city please take some action to prevent this from continuing?
