Hi, I don’t know if the parks department or city cares much about it but there are large patches of Japanese knotweed growing along the trail. It's a tricky plant to get rid of and requires strategic doses of herbicide at specific stages in it's life cycle and for multiple years. Y'all might already be aware and I've chatted with a lady working on other invasives along the trail. I live in Broadview 2nd and have been keeping my eyes out for it to keep it out of the neighborhood. I just wanted to bring it to someone's attention. The subreddit for invasive species seems to have the most up to date methods of attack and discussion I've found. Cutting it down only makes it angry and dig in/spread more. Feel free to call or text if you need any more information from me.
Thanks
Richard

Hello - I am the manager of the Osage Place Homeowner Association. The Board of the Osage Place neighborhood is wondering if it is possible to stripe parking spaces on Bernard Street. The goal is to help identify parking spaces and alleviate those parking improperly and leaving large distances (but not enough to park) when parking on the street. The homes on the west side of Bernard do not have off-street parking, so they must utilize the on street spaces. Thank you, Suzanne OConnell (Focus Property Mgt) 812.200.6128 Tel

Plants are starting to block sidewalk. This has happened before at this same location. Not obvious which house is responsible, 723 (privately owned) or the property just to the west (715, IU-owned.) Side note: the uReport map has the address listed as "805 N. Park", but the porch is facing 11th and the address on the house says "723".

Case# 203083 should be associated with 819 N. Grant. That property also has a pending tree-of-heaven report (currently about to bloom), but the poison ivy and other invasives are now covering half the sidewalk along Grant. The responsibility for the mess is likely shared with the adjacent property to the south (815 N. Grant), but it is not obvious where the property line actually is.

504 W Dixie St, Bloomington. House has not been lived in for over a decade. Two abandoned vehicles in back yard are being used as shelter for a person who is apparently unhoused and unrelated to deceased owner and her family. The site is a mess with belongings strewn over the entire yard. It is unclear how human waste is being dealt with. Within the last week, curtains have been hung around the front porch to inhibit view to front door. I believe the unhoused person or person have gained unauthorized access to the house through this or the back door, because a window along the east alley side that has been covered with blind and curtain for over a decade now has the curtain pulled back. One can also see through the east vent into the attic that there is a hole in the attic roof, making it accessible to animals. This situation has become untenable, and a hazard for sanitation as well as the perceived safety of me and other neighbors.
