Trash
108 E Cottage Grove AVE

This large pine tree has been overgrowing the sidewalk (on right side of Landmark facing 3rd) for years. I walk this block everyday, and this chokepoint, where narrow sidewalk and street blend together, pushes me dangerously close to oncoming traffic. For fast traffic heading north on Landmark, this is a blind bend for anyone approaching from other direction. A large truck or van could easily sideswipe a pedestrian trying to step around tree limbs.
This intersection is so busy during the school year with students crossing the street to get to either bus stop or from getting off the bus stop. It’s super dangerous too because the street is so busy and the cars tend to speed down this road. They also never stop for pedestrians that are waiting to cross the road so I frequently see people running across the street to make it to the other side while there is a small break in traffic. If there was a flashing walk sign for pedestrians that forced cars to pay attention and stop for pedestrians, this area would be so much safer.
trash in alley behind structure, trash around property
trash behind Quisar Rugs
Officer Jeff Alwine left a msg on my phone about trash behind Qiasar Rugs. Tenants have moved out and did not have enough containers for the trash so it is piled up in the alley. Sears and Son will not pick up trash outside the containers.
There is roadway overgrowth next to 1100 N. Lincoln. There is also a problem with overgrowth in the alleyway entrance btwn 1119 & 1000 N. Lincoln. There is a dead limb in the alleyway very high up. One limb fell in front of her car while driving down the alley.
A construction sign is completely blocking the bicycle lane on a very busy street with speeding drivers. The sign was originally used to warn about road construction. But that construction was complete more than a week ago. All of the past week the lane has still been blocked. Why does the city not fine the contractor for this negligence? The contractor also left a significant about of debris in the bicycle lane between the sign and 17th street. Why does this happen? Does the city really care about bicycle safety?
This is a continuation of #185394, which was never resolved - because their is still a significant amount of construction debris in the bicycle lane. That ticket and this ticket have the same address at the top.
