Grass growing through sidewalk on Maple St. side of property.
Grass growing through sidewalk on Maple St. side of property.
The curbs and speed humps on E Morningside appear to have been abandoned after the installation contract was completed. The first ones near E Saratoga and others are overgrown with weeds. It's not a pleasing sight for making a first impression near the entry to the Park Ridge East neighborhood. Residents seem to have not accepted an involuntary expansion of their lawn maintenance responsibility into the right of way on a busy street. Similar curbs near the park at the Park Ridge Road intersection are being maintained, maybe by city crews. Similar attention by the city for the other curb bump outs would be appreciated. An alternate remedy would be to cover the area of the bump outs with stone or other low maintenance materials that would reduce the recurring cost of cutting grass and weeds. A small tree planted in a bump out curb on the north side of E Morningside had its bark stripped off and branches broken last month, possibly by deer. Apparently trees were selected for planting without considering whether they have a natural resistance to deer. The tree had no protection from deer.
The sidewalks are blocked with snow from adams to pine on Kirkwood, all Parker management rentals. They never, ever clear snow
Sidewalks are not cleared off on the back side of South High School, along S Henderson St. Witnessed high school kids walking in the road! Very unsafe and dangerous as school starts at 7:45 AM
Sidewalk not cleared of snow - dangerous to walk here - this is a city or county -owned property
Sidewalk not shoveled on Rogers St on Hopewell site
Sidewalks have remained unshoveled since the first snowfall of the year. There is heavy pedestrian traffic on the portion of their sidewalk along Allendale. Failure to shovel that section is particularly hazardous. There are also several roughly 6" deep holes immediately adjacent to the sidewalk here which present a tripping hazard or potential ankle sprain. They are currently hard to see because of the snow.
