This is an apparently abandoned house, boarded up (except basement door is open) and yard is severely overgrown, encroaching on sidewalk.
We neighbors on Hunters Glen were informed that this outside area bordering Brian & Kim Crawford’s home is a protected natural area and cannot be cleaned up by residents. This year, it has grown to be, literally, a hazard. There’s are tree limbs and vines that are hanging down, als graze the cars as you pass under them . There is a tight curve in the road and the overgrown trees & shrubbery block visibility and is an accident walking to happen— especially with a home for sale on the cul-de-sac, resulting in increased traffic and strangers in the street. In addition, the greenery planted by the city when they put in the new multiuse path in sare rd is now also VERY overgrown, making exiting Hunters Glen scary and hazardous. We would really appreciate someone from the city coming to handle this clean up for us— before am accident occurs! The photos do not show the actual severity of the situation. Feel free to call me at any time if you have questions. I look fitted to hearing back from someone in the near future. Thank you again!

Overgrowth of invasives along the sidewalk bordering the electric substation at Rogers and 11th.
A substantial tree limb grows Across the sidewalk on the Maple street side of the property at about 5 1/2 above the ground. It’s a real hazard!!
