Mr. Gardner reported to Street Dept. that a mailbox post with jagged sharp edges is stuck in the middle of the sidewalk at 504 N. Smith. Dangerous to pedestrians, and no mail box attached.
Email says: "property is violating 20.05.052 (a) (1) regarding the placement of landscape materials in the right-of-way"
Hi! This protrusion of stair rail is sharp and safety hazard for pedestrians crossing on sidewalk. This is in front of urban Urban Outfitters in Kirkwood Avenue.
The curb ramps on both sides of this intersection (N Adams and 10th) are inaccessible, as well as the road itself having so many potholes to be inaccessible for disabled pedestrians. The southern curb has too large of a lip to easily get over with a mobility aid. The northern curb is angled too steeply vertically and tilted sideways, in such a way that one of the four wheels of wheelchair/rollator loses contact and cannot get up the sidewalk.
The Sidewalk along smith road on the walk to University elementary is damaged, broken and barely even a sidewalk. Additionally cutout ramps are needed at the Apartment complex at the corner of Smith. the broken sidewalk is a tripping hazard and makes walking extremely difficult.
hi, there is condo building located @ 14th and North Dunn St that a couple months ago had a white picket fence erected along the sidewalk/curb. There is also benches and chairs. If the company that owns this has that right I understand. I own a house I rent out in the area as well and it runs along the street in a similar fashion. I might want to add a fence along the sidewalk or street for a little hang out/party area as well in the future if that is allowed.
Caller states that a pile of sand and dirt was left on the sidewalk so long that it has now washed down the curb line the whole block and weeds are now growing in the gutter line. He does not think the street sweeper will be able to pick it up and believes it will need to be shoveled up.
Sidewalk is covered in mud and makes the sidewalk slick.
The sidewalk along 13th (north side of the road) as you head west from Indiana Avenue has a lot of loose gravel on it. Looks like runoff from the power substation located right there.
