There is a huge cyprus tree next to the sidewalk on the south side of Poplar St., west of Euclid Avenue which is tilted causing a major cracking and rise in the sidewalk.

  The sidewalk has been removed exposing the roots of the tree but there has been no further activity.

  The City did a half-baked job on the sidewalk, just dropping some asphalt on the raised parts of the sidewalk - which is still completely impassible for someone in a wheel chair and very dangerous for anyone who walks with difficulty or who is vision-impaired. I hired folks to do the street repair.

  The City finally made a stop-gap asphalt repair to the sidewalk. I paid to have the street issued repaired, as I never received any direct contact from the City.

  Still no response from the City of Berkeley. I guess they'd prefer a lawsuit.

  The City did a half-baked job on the sidewalk - just putting down a couple of spots of asphalt - instead of raising the concrete, chopping the roots back, and replacing the concrete. On the street, I hired workers to dig up the asphalt, chop back the roots, and replace the asphalt. It cost me a pretty penny, but at least the worst part of the problem is fixed. The sidewalk is stilla real hazard, virtually impossible to pass safely on a wheelchair, and very dangerous for someone using a cane or a walker. I guess the City would rather facea lawsuit.

Missing "No Outlet" sign Archived

Russell And Otis Berkeley, CA - South Berkeley

The concrete planter in the middle of eastbound Russell St as it crosses Otis St was moved by the construction crew working on the new South Branch Library in order to get some large vehicles through, and the "No Outlet" sign and pole was removed from the middle of the planter at that time. It looks as though the planter has been moved again, but is not in its original location, and the sign and pole have now gone missing.

The missing sign means more car drivers are heading down this street thinking that it connects to Adeline, but in several cases I have seen truck os SUV drivers go right over the metal staple in the middle of the street at Milvia, and at least one small car driver go over it and get stuck.

Please replace the "No Outlet" sign and planter in its original location, and PLEASE make the contractors/construction crew pay for it, not the city!

  The sign was replaced and the planter moved back into the original position yesterday. Not sure if this report had anything to do with it, but I'm happy it was resolved!

Bike route sign hidden by tree Open

1105 Russell St Berkeley, CA - South Berkeley

This bicycle boulevard route/directional sign on westbound Russell St, leading cyclists north onto San Pablo then west onto Heinz Ave, is almost completely hidden from view by a tree. The best solution would be to move the sign closer to the intersection with San Pablo, as it is very confusing about how to proceed here without any guidance.
