Description
Walking along Ridge Avenue just west of Tommy Gunns parking lots is dangerous due to overgrown vegetation. The problem is made worse by the lack of proper curb in the same area.
This is along the most direct path between the Wissahickon Transfer Station and the Wissahickon SEPTA station. It is a very dangerous situation and could easily result in a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle.
This was previously reported (and temporarily resolved) here: http://seeclickfix.com/issues/8523-sidewalk-covered-by-vegetation

10/19/2013 In spite of the efforts of a volunteer from the bike community, this extreme danger still exists. Two weeks ago, while biking nearby, I heard a young woman walking on the sidewalk screaming in fear as cars came within inches of striking her.
The Streets Department is aware of this situation. There seems to be a “not-my-problem” issue between the Streets Department and SEPTA.
Will this be addressed by the Wissahickon Gateway project?

However, more sidewalk needs to be uncovered and a permanent solution is needed.
