Tree blocking the sidewalk.
Tree blocking the sidewalk.
There are some weeds growing up here that make it particularly difficult for drivers that are eastbound on E Smith Ave to check for northbound traffic on S Lincoln St before turning left onto Lincoln St. In the summer, this is a particularly busy area during pick-up and drop-off for the Lincoln Street Boys & Girls Club summer camps. It would also be ideal to take a look at the curb markings here to see if street parking can be adjusted to improve visibility at this intersection. Thank you!
It is extremely hard to see incoming traffic on this street. There is a stop sign for drivers on Lincoln but not for drivers on 2nd street. As you wait in Lincoln for clearance, both tree branches on your left and parked cars on your right make it difficult to see incoming traffic.
There is a tree/shrub along the sidewalk growing low foliage that is blocking the line of site when you are turning left onto 2nd Street from Lincoln Street.
The company that installed this created a hazard that could cause an injury when someone gets out of their car etc. This should be removed and filled or fixed.
Utility cut was beautifully fixed, but the warning sign from last week has collapsed and is now half in the roadway next to the sidewalk.
There is a pothole at the entrance by the sidewalk. The hole was made when the fiber wires were installed back in November. Never fixed. Vehicles scrap when they drove through it.
Is this broadband or sidewalk related? Concrete saws at work all over my neighborhood. That cut and some possibly related cracks running from utility covers to the curb are the first since I had my sidewalk replaced in the mid-1990s. For good reason, I assume.
There is always standing water here on this sidewalk. It was a sheet of ice last month. Is there a water main break? So much water can not use the sidewalk. I do not want to have to walk in the street.
The downspout daylight from either 521 or 523 S. Park has been spilling mud onto the sidewalk for months. At this point, the entire width of the sidewalk is covered by a layer of mud that is dangerous when wet. This mud slick covers part of an accessible curb cut. Both houses are rentals.
