    The city has put speed limit signs on this alley, so it IS city property/responsibility!

  • 903 Longfellow Street Northwest Washington, DC 20011, USA - Fort Totten-Upper Northeast
    Yard of house is consistently full of trash: beer bottles, cans, food packaging and debris. Trash spills out into street, and residents and their guests frequently toss trash over the fence into the street. No care is taken of the front yard or fallen leaves on the sidewalk in front of the property.

    In freezing conditions, S4 bus (northbound) #7224 stopped at 16th and Euclid to discharge several passengers, but then slammed the door in the faces of the few passengers trying to board. No explanation. We waited more than half an hour in the sleet for a bus to finally pick us up.

    5549-5599 5th Street Northwest Washington, DC 20011, USA - Fort Totten-Upper Northeast
    Some road work was done at the intersection of Longfellow and 5th some months ago, pulling up the entire intersection, and the street markings were never replaced. This is a major bus route (that a lot of children use to get to school), and has no stop signs on 5th, so it's already dangerous for pedestrians to cross. Plus a lot of drivers don't seem to realize that it's DC law that all intersections, marked or not, are legal crosswalks. So yeah, please repaint the crosswalk. I think this would help a little. At least cars might be less likely to honk and swerve around and speed through.

    Stop sign on intersection of Madison and 7th, going East on Madison, is so sun faded as to be almost white. Sign still recognizable as a stop sign, but harder to notice.
  • Tree Planting Archived
    931 Longfellow Street Northwest Washington, DC 20011, USA - Fort Totten-Upper Northeast

    Severely depleted soil in the tree boxes on Longfellow on this side of the street. The grass has all died, and all that remains is hard-packed sand that erodes with every storm and exposes tree roots.

    I understand that soil maintenance in tree boxes is a DDOT tree service issue.

    Intersection Georgia Ave Nw And Longfellow St Nw - Brightwood
    There are crosswalks at this intersection, but the nearest lights are a block in either direction. Because of the many side streets that intersect here, cars come barreling out unexpectedly and make it extremely dangerous for pedestrians who are already legally within the crosswalk. Many cars don't even seem to see the crosswalk at all. Some kind of sign (whether HAWK or just a standing crosswalk notification) is necessary.
