"Tree-Keeper" database reports 56 Ailanthus altissima ("tree of heaven") trees being maintained by the City. Given this is an invasive plant and is known to be the primary food source for Lycorma delicatula (spotted lanternfly), should the City be obliged to remove these trees that are listed on the State list: ("Prohibited Invasive Terrestrial Plants [312 IAC 18-3-25]", https://ag.purdue.edu/department/entm/iisc/invasive-plants.html) ? If HAND is going to proactively threaten residents by "asking" them to remove something that is not on the State list (e.g., bamboo), it seems profoundly hypocritical for them to not address a serious ecological issue that they are helping to advance.

Tree immediately in front of home on the street side of the sidewalk is in poor health. Most outer branches are not budding. Branches regularly break off during storms and I have concern that this tree as well as neighboring tree may fall at next significant wind storm. A previous report last year about this tree was marked as 'resolved' with a comment that it would be put on a list. However, I have no indication that this was ever followed up on.

Trash has been piled up outside for a few weeks and has been rummaged through. It is now spread out over some of the driveway. There does not appear to be any tenants living in the home.

Just a suggestion for the next time any work is planned for Grant Street: At the intersections with both 8th and 9th streets, there are some storm sewer grates alongside the road that are too accessible, in that their design is completely open, with only a single metal bar across the openings. This allows animals and large pieces of trash to flow into the storm sewers. All the other grates in the neighborhood are more enclosed and safer. Might be good to switch these old ones out with ones that are similar to all the others and safer. Even a very small child might be able to fit into a couple of them, because the cross-bar on some of them is bent so much.

This one way street has driver's going the wrong way in front of a school on a daily basis. Student safety is compromised by this frequent violation.
