On the north end of Ridgefield neighborhood, all along the sidewalk that runs parallel with Kinser, the trees are hanging over the sidewalk. The residents on that end claim it is the city's responsibility. I trimmed it once this spring and am not doing it again. Make these people trim their trees. Basically 1146 thru 1126 W. Sugarberry Court

Vacant lot between 3124 and 3120 E Ramble Road. The shrubs and trees branches are encroaching on the public sidewalk. The owner needs to maintain their property so that the sidewalk is able to be traversed and not require pedestrians to walk in the street. Thank you.

Bamboo behind lot 132 at Southcrest

Bradford Pears (invasive species) located at Monroe Water Treatment Plant. The two trees are located at the discharge point of a surface drain. More importantly, the trees are located directly adjacent to the Hoosier National Forest, which is just a mere 50ft away (across Shady Side Dr). Currently, the trees are bearing fruit. It appears that these fruits' seeds have the opportunity to traverse the slope and end up in our watershed, tainting the Hoosier National Forest, as an invasive species. The trees should be removed ASAP, as part of the City's initiative to systematically remove Bradford Pear trees from public property. Given the proximity to the National Forest and in the confines of the Lake Monroe watershed, this is a priority site.

I live at 812 W 2nd St. My next door neighbor lives at 820 W. 2nd St. Her back yard is overgrown and has containers that fill with water. In warm weather these containers breed mosquitos. I can't even go outside in the summer because the mosquitos are so bad. Also, she won't cut her grass along 2nd St. She says it is flowers, but it is weeds. I have seen rats in there. Also it is a traffic hazard because cars turning on to 2nd St. from Euclid St. can't see oncoming traffic. I am also sending a copy of this email to the State Board of Health in Indianapolis.

Overgrown bamboo at 1002 W 6 St and Elm bending into sidewalks and street obstructing traffic. Bird droppings covering the sidewalk. The invasive plant has encroached on neighboring property where we live at 1004, so we are having to engage removal services and eventually install impermeable barriers at our expense. The back yard of 1002 is overgrown also, feral cats, possum and a skunk have been sited or smelled in a fallen shed which has not been cleared out. The Elm Street side of 1002 is full of debris and overgrowth and there is an unattended stagnant water feature where we hear frogs in the summer (which do attract copperhead snakes). Someone does seem to be inhabiting the house, though we know that the owner of the house does not reside in Indiana presently.

This house has been neglected for at least the two years that I have been in the area. There is a tree branch that has fallen into the roof, causing a hole. The branch has been there for over a year and the whole has gotten bigger. The frame of the house near the front window looks 'broken.' It looks like the house is falling to the side. The lawn is completely overgrown. It has had zero attention in two years (plus?). It is out of control. There is a van parked at the house. Every now and then the van will be moved from the driveway to the street in front of the house, but it seems like for the most part the house is abandoned. Sometimes some rather shady people come and go from that area but I don't know if they actually go into the house or not.
