We had our yard landscaped, which included attempting to remove grass that was growing on the street side of the curb in front of our house. We realized that the curb is severly damaged, and in some cases missing between Sheridan Dr. and our lawn.
overhanging vegetation, cite HT article
I reported this issue 10 weeks ago, and no action has been taken that I can tell. The home at 831 S. High St. (on the NE corner of High and Maxwell) has vines that have grown over 1/3 of the sidewalk, and branches from bushes hang into the sidewalk as well, making it a hazard for pedestrians and bikers. This home has had hundreds of thousands of dollars of renovations done to it, but the homeowners can't seem to pay someone $25 to cut back the vines and bushes. Something absolutely must be done about this -- I'm tired of having to encounter this neglect on a daily basis.
Sidewalk is impassable when it rains.
Sidewalk flooded
Broken sidewalk in front of 824 and 828 E University
The curb is broken. The pieces are in the front yard of the adjacent property. I think the volunteer raingarden might be a better use of the space than a new curb. Less than a year since the concrete sanding / beveling was done, one more sidewalk square needs it. As to the beveling itself---looks bad and won't weather into something better. Safer, yes.
Bump outs over grown with weeds. Unsightly. Streets covered with dead leaves
I am a bicyclist and must use the sidewalks occasionally because of lack of bike lanes. The large house on the NE corner of S. High and Maxwell (I believe it is 831 S. High) has large bushes that protrude onto the sidewalk and vines that cover about 1/3 of the sidewalk, creating hazards for pedestrians and bicyclists alike. The homeowners have neglected to trim the bushes and vines for years.
