Sidewalk is un-walkable.

Good Day All.

While working on some traffic issues at Morse and Columbus, Ted was made aware of large overgrowth onto the sidewalks of Columbus. I was asked to request getting this cleaned up.

I drove through Columbus, it is a one way shaped like a horseshoe, (kinda), near the canal entrance. It is truly way overgrown and wild and the sidewalks are covered.

Who should look at/remedy this? Does the sidewalk inspector go out? Are there private property owners there? It was tough to discern.

Please assist and advise.

The location is the block on State Street between Batti and Hubbard. The rear portion of the houses on Franklin Road have a stockade fence which abuts the sidewalk on State Street. Area with blockage is on State Street. The caller who brought this to my attention indicated the overgrowth is more than four feet high and completely obstructs the sidewalk. He further indicated that in order for the property owners to mow that grass/weeds, they would each have to walk around the corner to the outside of the fence to mow. There is also an accumulation of trash/garbage and, now, bags of some sort of waste are being hung from the pickets on the fence.

Would you please have someone look at this site and let me know. The caller indicated he has been calling the Town for several months.

The sidewalk in front of 66 Troiano Road is impassable. It is crumbling and covered in overgrowth and poison ivy from the homeowners front yard.

Large hedges obstruct sidewalk on Brookside and Glen Pkwy year-round. Children have to walk in the street to get to school. This is especially dangerous in the winter, where snow banks prevent any refuge from passing cars.

Sidewalk impassable - overgrown with brush and weeds

Various sections of sidewalks from Shepard Ave to Evergreen are impassible at best. I have watched folk cross the street to get to a side that is passable for running, walking and pushing baby strollers Even just one side clear the entire way would be great

I am the owner of 1530 Dixwell Avenue. I would like the rainbow cleaners business to stop plowing the snow from their property on to my property. My house sits on the corner of Cumley and Dixwell. The owner of Rainbow cleaners plows there snow onto the corner of Dixwell and Cumley. This snow piles up and freezes making the sidewalk on that corner difficult to pass even though I do snow removal. I talked to the owner in the past who says they have always done that and was not willing to stop. But, its is not fair to the occupants of the property or for those doing the snow removal. They just pile all their snow on my property making more work and cost to me.

sidewalk becoming increasingly inaccessible and narrow due to overgrowth

Top pole of black chain link fence on north side of Putnam between Leeder Hill Dr. And Davenport Dunbar Housing hangs out over sidewalk which could seriously injure someone walking or riding a bike, scooter, rollerblading down the sidewalk close to the fence.

Sidewalk is impassible. Trash, and overgrown grass and weeds, need to be taken care of.
