A grocery shopping cart filled with garbage (and various unidentified personal items) was left abandoned in the roadway between 914 N Fairview St. and 915 N Jackson St, and in the back of 620 W 13th st. Cart first noticed morning of 7.6.
Black cord dangling from tree, looks electrical. Seems to have open cut ends. Unsure if they’re live, I didn’t try to test it.
Oak tree between east sidewalk and street. Black cord hanging from tree, seems electrical. Appears to have cut ends on the ground. I didn’t attempt to see if they’re live.
Tree adjacent to east sidewalk on Fairview (near intersection with Howe) is covered in poison ivy. The poison ivy is dangling over the sidewalk at face- and shin-height. I unfortunately realized this was poison ivy the hard way. The vines appear woody and hardy, its leaves are very large, and it seems to be fruiting. Please remove before someone else walking on the sidewalk brushes by it and has a serious reaction to contacting the plant.
Ureport #203425 erroneously closed by Mike Arnold with message “Not valid. Saw Virginia creeper but no poison ivy”. It is the tree on East side of Fairview, adjacent to intersection with Howe, next to 620 Fairview. This time I provided a photo of poison ivy. There is also Virginia creeper, but there is much more poison ivy. Leaves are as large as adult hand, in groups of three, lacks the fine serrations of Virginia creeper leaves, and notice small green fruits. Also I had a skin reaction when I first walked into it haha. Please reach out to me if needed and I can point out the poison ivy. I just don’t want anyone else to get urushiol on their face.

People are parking on the south side of Cottage Grove just west of Lincoln, which normally is ok but they are parking *all the way to the corner* of Lincoln, making it difficult to turn left onto Cottage Grove from Lincoln. But they really can't be blamed because the yellow curb there was ripped up over the summer when they put in the ADA-compliant plates and then didn't finish the job. Could the curbs indicating no-parking sections in this area be repainted yellow?
