The street is notorious for its illegal parking issues, with over 2200 complaints, causing significant congestion and safety hazards. Residents often witness cars parked in no-parking zones, blocking crosswalks, and even blocking fire hydrants, which could hinder emergency response times. The street condition is also a concern, with numerous reports of rough, pitted, or cracked roads, which can make driving and walking difficult and potentially dangerous.

Another pressing issue is the blocked sidewalks, with over 2100 complaints.

Despite these challenges, the nearby streets, such as Columbus Square and Hoyt Playground, maintain high grades, indicating that improvements are possible with the right attention and resources.
