Resident reports a dumpster parked in an area clearly marked with a "No Parking" sign on the street. Dumpster creates an obvious roadway hazard. Location provided is approximate. Dumpster was delivered evening of July 24.
Big pieces of stone wall lying on the sidewalk along Lincoln.
Resident called in use of a backhoe parked on public sidewalk. They were concerned about damage to the sidewalk. No ROW permit identified related to use.
These hand rails stick into the public sidewalk - a pedestrian not paying attention could run into these or a bicyclist could really have a collision with these. In at least two places. And they have put reflective tape on them which seems to indicate past problems.
Shrub on corner of yard is so big that people on the sidewalk have to step onto the grass to get by it.
You just spent $50000-$100,000 putting in handicap ramps and textured strips for blind citizens at the corner of Cottage Grove and Dunn. The house on Dunn, just south of that intersection, has a rope/hammock strung right across the sidewalk for four days. Should a blind person walk thru here, they wouldn't see it and would be "clotheslined"
