Overgrown onto sidewalk and high grass
Overgrown onto sidewalk and high grass
Shrubs on east side of front yard are overgrown with tree-of-heaven, and the other plants have grown so much that they are blocking half the sidewalk. Property owner (absentee - lives in another town) doesn't keep this properties looking nice. They are either overgrown or else he completely removes all the plants so that the properties are only grass. Always too much or too little. Such a shame...
Shrub on corner is so overgrown it makes it difficult to stay on the sidewalk.
919 E Hunter poison ivy growing on wall adjacent to sidewalk and impinging on sidewalk right of way.
919-921 E Hunter vegetation obstructing sidewalk right of way
600 S. Woodlawn, overgrown on the E. Second side of the corner lot. Weeds and sidewalk obstruction
Plants along sidewalk have grown out enough to impede pedestrians, and they keep growing. Could be responsibility of 713 E. Cottage Grove, or maybe both.
Approximate location. Poison Hemlock in ROW, infringing upon the asphalt. There is no room for a pedestrian to step out off the road without getting tangled up in the brush. No picture this time. Chronic issue in this location.
Plants are blocking the speed limit sign on Nancy St.
Sidewalk near NE corner of lot (along Cottage Grove) is becoming impassible due to invasive shrub overgrowth (an annual occurrence at this location). While they are cutting it back, they might as well also trim back the shrub on the SW corner of the same lot along Grant. It is just starting to be in the way.
