uneven sidewalk
uneven sidewalk
There is a small area on the side of the road that has crumbling asphalt, which contributes to the storm water drainage issues as rocks get dropped into the drain after significant rain. Crews have patched areas along the street over the years, might be worth a review.
This intersection is BLIND to travelers on Grant Street. The building on the NE corner abuts the sidewalk (who allowed this to be built there???), preventing a south-bound driver from seeing cars traveling west on 9th Street, and it's almost as bad for travelers heading north. If the building at 401 E. 9th is allowed to remain standing, there should be at least a stop sign on 9th Street, since it is so difficult to see oncoming traffic.
Because this house is so close to the sidewalk, it is nearly impossible to see the E->W cross traffic on 9th Street when one is traveling south on Grant. An easy way to address this is to ask the owner to trim or remove the shrubs that are on the south side of the building. Of course, a better remedy would be to install a stop sign on 9th Street at this intersection, making it an 3-way (= All-way) stop.
Trash lying by street
Scooter hanging from tree in ROW
BIRD scooter is "parked" up in the tree in front of the house.
Snow on sidewalk
The north end of this lot (adjacent to the RR fence and right next to Grant Street) is overgrown and there is a lot of trash that has accumulated in the area over the years. The trash is not as obvious during the summer when all the plants are leafed out, but right now it's easy to see it all. Broken glass and shards of metal, etc. Probably dangerous.
Trash scattered around west side of building. Animals and vagrants digging through it.
