Yellow Shopping cart left along roadway sometimes on the sidewalk sometimes by the bus stop sometimes along road.

The cobblestone road that runs along CoffeePot needs to be dealt with. the sidewalk is just too narrow along this part of coffeepot blvd for both bicycles and pedestrians to traverse together. The side walk has lamp post, palm trees, power meters and pot holes that make it difficult for anyone to pass either on foot or by bicycle. The city should do something with the road surface to bicycles and ride in the street without being shaken apart by the extremely poor condition of the cobblestones. it would be great if maybe make it one way and then pave with asphalt a bike path in the street so you dont have to ride either on the side walk or the cobblestones which are unfit for any wheeled vehicle. I get that people like the charm of cobblestones but its basically just a paved dirt road.

TREES HANGING OVER CITY SIDEWALK

Trees hanging over CITY SIDEWALK!

Hedge overgrown walkway.

Hedge is overgrown over walkway making you have to walk either in the grass or get wet from branches after rain.

I reported this once before and yet nothing has ever been done.

Side walk is gets completely flooded after even a small rain or when the sprinklers run. also the turn lane going from 94th to MLK has a large rut along the curb and the cars splash water all over the side walk. Walk way is impassable and it forces you to trespass through U-Haul's Property where there could be a real danger of being struck by a truck no seeing someone walking behind on of their U-Haul Vans.
ALSO! do not just close this as finished like the last time (see Issue ID: 8523852) NO One and I mean NO One has ever fixed this issue. so who ever closed it lied that it was repaired.
Remember the News media loves this kind of stuff...
Again the city comes out and because it has not rained it is not flooded.. How stupid are you people? it floods when it rains.. it does not have water in it when it is not raining..
I saw you just sitting in your truck.. fix the proble!

Very large pot hole as you come onto 77th Ave from Gateway mall.

Grass on city property along ditch not in compliance with city codes.

Hedges over grown over sidewalk forcing you to walk in the wet grass

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE HAD TO VIOLATE THE CITY OF ST. PETERSBURG OVER THIS VERY SAME ISSUE IN THE VERY SAME PLACE..

Once again We find the city is not maintaining its own property to the level it requires its citizens to maintain. Canal between the lake at Medowlawn park and 77th Ave has grass that does not comply with city codes that states grass may not be higher then 10". furthermore trees are allowed to grow in the canal blocking waterway that could lead to flooding..
Can someone at the Mayor's Action committee please tell me why city property is not required to be maintained to the same level as citizens of St. Petersburg? If my yard looked this bad you would be fining me $500 per day untill it was corrected. maybe the salaries of the Mayor's Action committee should be docked that amount until the issue is corrected.. It would only be fair.
Maybe Jeff the code enforcer should lose his job for not reporting this....

Please Review St. Petersburg's Yard Maintenance Standards
Brochure so it can be understood how landscaping should be maintained. http://www.stpete.org/code_enforcement/docs/YardMaintenance15.pdf

Hedge is hanging low over walkway forcing you to leave the sidwalk and walk in the wet grass. I have reported this a few times already and these hedges are right up against the walkway and should be trimmed EVERY WEEK or totally removed. This is an ongoing problem.

The entire sidewalk that runs along the Enclave Apartment is totally blocked by bushes that keep growing over the walk. if forces you to either walk in WET GRASS or walk out on MLK to be able to get by.
This hedge is so close to the walkway that it should be either trimmed EVERY WEEK or be totally removed.

As reported in seeclickfix issue #5968519
This issue was closed without any fix.
This seems to be something of a constant with the city of St. Petersburg. I open a legitimate issue and the City of St. Petersburg promptly closes without any repair only to have me open a new issue over and over until it gets fixed. Look at my history on seeclickfix and you will see time and time again of open legitimate requests for service and the city just closing them. one even said it was "done". this issue (#5968519) was reported on 6-4-19 and closed by the city on 6-7-19 by Water Conserv StPete 2.
I went by this very morning (6-11-19) and guess what I found.. Yes again the city of St. Petersburg closed one of my issues without any repair being made. So let me repost it again..
This is in English so it should be easy to read.. (Sorry I cannot write it in crayon)
"Street and Sidewalk badly flooded by sprinklers on South Island at MLK and 94th ave. the sidewalk is covered so deep you cannot pass without going into the wet grass. also the water is running in torrents from the island over MLK to the entrance of U-Haul. "
