Ecorse, MI Neighbor

Empty city lot in the former location of 10 and 12 Elton St.
Also previously known as a the Elton St. Community Garden.
Removal of a large tree branch that has been laying there since the summer storms in 2023. The city lawn cutters do not seem to know how to pick it up and put in a city truck to remove, they would rather waste time circling around it.
The signage that was put in place for the Community Garden has been broken and either laying on the ground or against a tree should either be removed - or reinstalled.
IF it is reinstalled then the city - and the police department will have to inform the Bar at the corner of Elton and W. Jefferson and Hall across Elton St. that THIS IS NOT A PARKING LOT - AND INFORCE IT!!!
As this park is regularly used by both for parking (that is how the sign was knocked down in the first place - they just drove over it)
Also - just this past week - a sofa has been deposited on the same property.

Southfield Railroad Overpasses -
Specifically the east side - Regardless if this is the rail lines property or not - the drivers that goes past this does not know that - or care. They just see an overhanging jungle of vegetation on both sides of Southfield Rd.
Also creates a dangerous area where anyone can hide, or an unsafe surface for walkers and for bicyclists to ride under or through the branches.

Trees and light poles along W. Jefferson -
All the trees along West Jefferson should be cut up/back to allow the nice newly installed lamps to work as intended - provide light.
Several are either now blocked by brush/branches or will be in the near future as the trees grow.
see photo - there is a short black lamp pole just to the right of the tall pole the traffic light is attached to - but you cannot see it!!

Dora Gaines Park
Cut and remove overgrowth of weeds and shrubs along the fence lines of the park.
Brush growing up and thru the fence makes the whole park look trashy - and after putting nice new equipment there - we should be proud of it!

High St. and Labadie - Old School 3 location.
Remove debris and cut the brush inside the fenced area. Also cut and remove the brush and tree branches growing over and along the fence lines.
The SIDEWALK along High street is supposed to be wide enough for 2 persons to walk on - not overgrown with grass and dirt.

Street storm drain covers - many throughout the city are blocked (some completely) with a matting of leaves, grass, dirt and debris. Some locations the residents have moved the debris over - but the first rainstorm it's going to be right back in the drain - flooding the street or curb.
A large part of the problem is the residents/lawn contractors/and especially the city workers cutting the lawn and leaving the cuttings in the street.

Repair and/or replace if missing, any Street Signs, and Directional or safety related signs.
Throughout the city there are numerous missing street signs as well as missing (or falling off - just waiting for someone to take) one-way signs, stop signs, no-truck signs, etc., etc. (Josephine and Jefferson, Goddell and Jefferson, Elton and High st., etc....

Slowly collapse sewer drain near driveway of the above address

The stop sign / street sign, on the corner of Alexander Ct and E. Goodell St, is falling over and needs to be fixed. There is also a cut off piece of metal sticking 1” above the grass line, next to it. This used to be the old stop sign, before it was replaced - the city just cut it out, and left the metal sticking out of the ground. A few years ago, my daughter cut her foot on this piece of metal and required several stiches in her foot. While repairing the new stop sign, please take the metal from the old stop sign out. Thank you!
