There have been several obstructions in the "walking area" near the road all winter, which is already made smaller by an overgrown honeysuckle bush that pushes pedestrians into the road on Matlock just over a blind hill with limited space for two cars. The honeysuckle bush is directly in the path, and just before it are a bunch of wire planter cages also blocking the path and creating a dangerous impediment to walking. I once tried to just pick them up and move them, but they seem to be held to the ground. They have been smashed down, but are now creating a slippery surface (even without the ice now covering them). They cover a small hill leading into the honeysuckle tree, and I recently fell trying to cross them, which put me dangerously close to passing cars. While the space across the street is actually better for passing, it is generally unpassable, as it does not get mown, and is allowed to grow up tall with weeds the majority of the year. I added a photo--very difficult to see the wire cages, so I have circled them in the photo. They are also difficult to see in real life, which makes them more hazardous. I think these items belong to the house inside the fence, rather than the log cabin, just fyi.
