Tree - Pruning ArchivedYork St + State St Portland, ME 04101, USA - PortlandThe sidewalk as you leave the Casco Bay Bridge onto York St is overgrown. The pedestrian signal request button is hidden in the foliage and the already narrow nature of this portion of sidewalk is nearly completely obstructed. I see a similar request from a month ago still open and unaddressed. Please cut back these trees as they make the pedestrian and cycle transitions from the bridge very dangerous. Thank you.

Street Sweeping Archived2 W Commercial St Portland, ME 04101, USA - PortlandThank you for the fresh pavement patches on West Commercial! Could we get a street sweep here, too, to clear out the debris leftover, please?

Crosswalk Archived29 Bramhall St Portland, ME 04102, USA - PortlandI would like to reopen this earlier request for a crosswalk across the start of Chadwick at Bramhall. Crews were in the neighborhood yesterday (thank you!) but neglected to paint a crosswalk here. This location is heavily trafficked, by pedestrians and motor vehicles, and the very wide, angled nature of the crossing makes it especially dangerous. A freshly painted crosswalk here would help to alert drivers to be on the lookout for pedestrians on this side of the intersection, too.

Crosswalk Archived22 Bramhall St Portland, ME 04102, USA - PortlandPlease paint a crosswalk across Chadwick where it intersects with Bramhall this year when painting occurs. There are clear curb cuts for the crossing, but there has not been a painted crosswalk here in the past. Thank you for helping keep pedestrians safe.

Inspection Issue Archived211 Fore St Portland, ME 04101, USA - PortlandI echo others' concerns about the party bike in town tonight. It is noteworthy that there is no license plate visible while operating on city streets. This seems a large enough vehicle to warrant licensure to operate in traffic. Please inspect and enforce all applicable legal and safety requirements.

Inspection Issue Archived75 Market St Portland, ME 04101, USA - PortlandPlease inspect this outdoor restaurant seating. Their structure is appropriately not in use due to not being inspected, however the improvised on-sidewalk seating does not allow for passage, too narrow for wheelchairs.

Police Issue ArchivedPortland St + Forest Ave Portland, ME 04101, USA - PortlandPeople are sitting on the curb by the USPS mail collection boxes on the Portland St side of the Post Office on a daily basis. Not only are they blocking access to drop off mail, they are creating a very dangerous situation for themselves. Often the people appear under the influence or otherwise unaware of their surroundings leaning dangerously back into the path of vehicles entering the drive thru. For their safety and so that people may conduct their postal business, please move these folks along when you see them here. Thank you.

Street Sweeping Archived170 Washburn Ave Portland, ME 04102, USA - PortlandPlease sweep outbound St John street after the intersection with Park Ave (traveling towards Brighton). Lots of loose sand in bike lane forcing bikes into vehicle lane. Other portions of St John are well-swept - Thank you!

Inspection Issue Archived305 Congress St Portland, ME, 04101, USA - PortlandThis afternoon at 4pm, I observed a construction worker from the construction site at Cathedral Hall dump liquid construction debris from a bucket directly into Congress St.

Police Issue Archived784 Congress St Portland, ME 04102, USA - PortlandAt 734am, I observed a city employee, who was there to empty the fire station dumpster, relieve himself against the side of the fire station building. While his co-worker manned the dump truck and a police officer sat in his vehicle in the station parking lot, this man urinated on city property in public view. Disrespectful. Surely he could have knocked and asked to use a restroom inside the station.

Crosswalk Archived386 Allen Ave Portland, ME 04103, USA - PortlandWhen this was reported in November of 2018, the city's solution was the remove the yellow signs indicating that pedestrians should cross here. See report 5089720. Clearly the need to cross here still exists, Portland. Please put the crosswalk back and please do not respond with the fact that this is near a business driveway. The location by the business driveway is PRECISELY the reason pedestrians want and need to safely cross here. Thanks for helping us safely cross this busy road.
