Who is responsible for maintaining (or removing) vandalized Ameritech utility boxes? This is one example, but they litter the landscape all over the city.
Since Catalent is using Twin Lakes/Sportsplex for additional employee parking, traffic on W 2nd St. has become very heavy and SLOW, especially at shift changes. Are there any plans to add traffic lanes or additional turn lanes to 2nd St and/or the entrance/exit to Twin Lakes? Catalent is currently adding another 600+ positions, which will probably add more vehicles and slower travel times through this area.
Excessive weed and grass growth.
Large amount of Japanese knotweed growing on rear of property. Japanese knotweed is aggressively invasive. It is spreading to nearby houses.
There are low hanging tree branches over the sidewalk. Bikes are not able to ride through that section of the sidewalk.
This is a rental property. There is a large tree in the front yard that looms over surrounding properties and drops branches, leaves, and debris. Causes damage to surrounded roofs, guttering, and vehicles.
Overgrown honeysuckle hanging over and growing out into the roadway
Part tectonic plate, part aircraft carrier bulkhead--Houston, we have a problem. It would seem that some utility repair of another has resulted in a steel plate the thickness of a very hefty mozzarella stick, length and width that could probably park a Smart Car, in the middle of the road. I suspect this formidable obstacle is the result of whatever adventure IU tasked itself with over winter break, as I observed their vehicles there, but that's not to say I'm 100% positive. Either way, the impact of this scrapper's dream was presumably originally mitigated with the pouring of some cold patch concrete around the edges, but alas, much has changed since. Tire impact after tire impact has slowly moved this plate, rendering the cold patch mostly useless. As steam billows out from around the edges, I imagine whatever was being fixed is still in the process of being fixed. But at the moment, it's like witnessing suspension-damaging continental drift. Aside from mounting this hulking piece of metal in a museum as a replicated piece of the Titanic's hull, creating a more subtle transition from pavement to metal would very much be appreciated. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
