Snow on sidewalk
Snow on sidewalk
I'll admit that this isn't one of the more extreme instances of "excessive growth" by any means, but it nonetheless reaches beyond the property and obstructs a portion of the sidewalk. The other day I had to pass by another person here and essentially found myself walking through plants/bushes.
Foliage/brush from the property at 701 E 10th St (northeast corner of the intersection of N Fess and E 10th) has completely obstructed the sidewalk.
A large percentage (30%+) of sidewalks in the Bryan Park neighborhood are still covered with snow or ice which makes walking, running and pushing strollers very difficult. I understand there is an ordinance that stipulates fines if the snow or ice has not been removed 24hrs after the end of the weather event but it does not appear to be enforced. Many of the addresses appear to be rentals as well.
We have received several complaints on this safety concern. Street cut/storm drain repair work within most of the 3rd street bike lane has not been finished.
The pedestrian crossing sign on the west side of College Ave north of the intersection facing east has a non-functioning “tens” digit.
All of the decorative lampposts on North Walnut near the intersection with 11th Street are dark. Three on the west side of Walnut and north of 11th, one on the east side of Walnut north of 11th, and two on the east side of Walnut south of 11th but still north of Cottage Grove.
For HAND: Please come check 701 S Eastside Drive. There have been 4 plastic bags with yard waste in them out in the yard. Obviously they cannot be picked up, there is a note with the reason why attached to one of the bags. The students in the house need a reminder that they cannot leave these bags there for weeks on end. Thanks.
Vegetation on East First Street is blocking the sidewalk
Snow on the side of the street has not been plowed, leaving the parking inaccessible.
