The Inspections The department has responded. The property was inspected 4/12/13 and found no violations at this time

Thank you,.

We have received a response. Inspectors from the City’s Stormwater Division and the Housing and Environmental Division have reviewed this issue and conducted on site inspections. The reported vegetation is located on private property, and there is nothing in the City Code that provides for the removal of debris from private property. Currently there are not any violations at this location. The property owners are responsible for the maintenance of this creek; hopefully the neighbors can get together and get the trees and debris removed from the creek as the City cannot expend public funds to address issues on private property.

I have reported this to our Parks and Recreation Department staff. When they have had a chance to respond I will update this issue.

Our Parks staff has treated the kudzu. This should take care of it for now, but kudzu is remarkably resistant to herbicides. We'll try to keep an eye on it, though. Thanks for reporting.

We have marked this to clear as we move around the City mitigating storm debris.

I've referred this to our Public Works Department. I will update this issue when I have heard back from them. Thanks for reporting.

This is not a traffic light wire, it appears to be a utilities wire, we have notified utility companies- Progress Energy, Time Warner Cable, AT&T etc.

This vehicle has been towed.

The Urban Forestry division is still working on it but because of the wet weather it is too muddy in places to bring equipment to remove debris in without damaging the park. The trash cleanup is complete and will continue at about 3 times each year. If there is still trash in the pond I will refer this back to Parks who can respond. I will update.

The pond is full of trash all around. This is due to neglect for years. I know this is a huge task and I am sure everyone would appreciate the cleanup. This issue should not be closed until the work is complete

Parks and Recreation District 3 staff went back to Eastgate and cleaned the pond area again on Friday, March 16th. The crew also sent a request to the graffiti crew to remove several areas of graffiti around the pond.

Closing this issue, thanks for the follow up.

I'm not sure how to be more specific than I was when I reopened this issue in July of 2010.
Within that updated message I said: "...today (07Jul2010) I walked the sidewalk along the North side of Millbrook Road from Sweetbriar Road to Falls Of Neuse..."
Some sidewalk repairs were in progress at that time however, many section of concrete sidewalk are still in need of repair. And, during the Summer months, shrubbery, grass and weeds extend over and onto the sidewalks as seen in the attached pictures.

Posting a separate single image in case the zip file containing a collection of images is not accessible from my previous post.

We have cleared all of the obstructions along this stretch of sidewalk. Because sidewalks in the City are maintained by the abutting property owners, except in the case of tree root damaged caused by a tree in the public right-of-way, the best we can do is send a compliance letter specifically to the abutting owner where a particular section of broken sidewalk exists, if a specific complaint is made about a certain property. The City Council Budget and Economic Development Committee is currently considering alterations to this policy in their deliberations on the annual budget, but at this point the City does not do general maintenance or repair of sections of sidewalk like this, except through a petition process wherein the property owners agree to be assessed for the cost.
