The grate on this tree is out of place and presents a tripping hazard as it is no longer flush with the sidewalk. I tried to push it back into place and couldn’t budge it. Please see it is readjusted.
220 W 14th St. This is a repeat of #212155. I need you to understand the methodology behind this photograph. I held my phone pointing directly ahead of me, with both of my feet squarely on the sidewalk (at the edge of the sidewalk). My phone was directly in front of my face. The branch directly in the center of the photo is exactly where my eyes would be if i had continued to walk forwards. Practically, this is a genuine problem because I really do walk along the edge of the sidewalk so that i can walk 2- or 3-abreast with my family. It's a safety problem because if I do not see the branch then it will hit my eye, as has already happened at this location! It's an inconvenience because it is a point where the sidewalk narrows from 5ft to effectively 4ft. Pedestrians are forced to reconfigure their groups at these narrowings. It costs us time and energy and makes conversing difficult. I'm not sure what enforcement authority you're acting under but it's a legal problem as well, for example BMC 12.24.040 requires a clear distance of 8ft above sidewalks. FWIW, I'm asking for 6ft. The transportation plan also weighs in on this, Table 5 Pedestrian Zone Design Parameters "Clear space for all pedestrian travel, should be clear of any and all fixed obstacles." I didn't think it was necessary to be so explicit but they were -- "any and all" definitely includes branches that extend 6 inches into your eye sockets. The specific undesirability of having fixed obstacles extending over the sidewalk exactly at eye height *for any distance* has been explicitly acknowledged and i can't believe i'm trying to point this out today. Anyways i really do appreciate that this has seen already more enforcement action than the whole city put together before about 2022 but if this is what compliance looks like then we have a problem.
Trees on south side of street are overgrown 2200-2100 Sycamore Village heading to Southeast park. Could not safely walk to park with stroller. Could tree branches and bushes be cut back to prevent scratching and to enable passing through? This is the length of block east of Sycamore sign to the entrance to park. Many thanks!
The college students from Atlas are taking all of the street parking in front of the residential area. They also are becoming a nusiciance as I have had to calm the police three times in one night due to them parking on the side of my house and being extremely loud. The police came and at some point they needed up throwing a bag full of alcohol under my car in hopes not to get caught. I would like for permits to be required to help alleviate these issues.
New asphalt on top of construction is not level with the original B-line trail. This uneven patch-job is located at 2nd and S Morton. It causes imbalance for cyclists and pedestrians at a dangerous intersection.
I tore a large hole in my tire from a piece of metal sticking up by the road. The metal was to the left of the driveway at the above listed location. The metal looks like it is from an old sign post. I do have pictures of the metal and the damage done to my tire. I had to call Triple A for roadside assistance.
Tree hanging too low over sidewalk
In the Southeast Park tennis courts: there are yellow jackets living in one of the net support poles. They are in the eastern support pole of the West court. We were there last night and 3 yellow jackets were standing guard on top of the support pole, so we left to use the Bryan Park courts instead.
