Thick dirt and mud for twenty feet blocks safe passage of sidewalk. Especially nasty when wet. Inconvenience and hazard to walkers, joggers and strollers.
Resident parking on yellow and on sidewalk at corner of 7th & Oak. There are issues with folks parking on yellow and sidewalks near intersections. There are elderly, people with kids and pets all over this neighborhood and this creates a hazard for them. Please ask parking enforcement to monitor West past Maple St.
On this block of W Cottage Grove Ave. the sidewalk is unusable. It is overgrown with scrubs and trees.

There are 4 scooters in a row blocking much of the sidewalk in front of my home. My handicapped mother will be unable to get into my home unless they are moved.
Sidewalk needs cleared of snow.
This truck has been parked by the side of the road for weeks. Its filled with garbage and has garbage all around it. There is also garbage on the vacant lot.
Overgrown bushes to east of driveway block the sidewalk
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.
