This portion of Allesandro to Riverside Drive was a part of a "No Overnight Parking Zone," but the signs directly across from the controversial Semi Tropic Spiritualists' Tract 15-lot subdivision mysteriously disappeared when it was under construction.
Neither the City nor CalTrans takes care of the sidewalk adjacent to the 2 Freeway. But then, it's not a real sidewalk, despite the City building ADA compliant ramps at all the intersections on Allesandro in the 1990s. It's still a narrow strip of asphalt in a curb. The lack of street addresses prevent all but the most persistent neighbors from getting dumping removed by the City. Weeds, trash, dumping and telephone poles blocking the extremely narrow sidewalk are a challenge for any pedestrian.
CalTrans insists the "sidewalks" adjacent their freeways are the City's responsibility. If homeowners are supposed to maintain the sidewalk adjacent to their homes, shouldn't CalTrans have the same responsibility?
Wonder if CalTrans will be doing the brush clearance up on their parkway since it can no longer be seen from the northbound 2 Freeway due to the sound wall.
