Sidewalk & Curb Complaints
Sims Lane and Leonard Springs Road
- Case Date:
- 7/8/2025
Received from a Resident in Van Buren Township.
I live off Sims lane and have a question?
When you try to get out onto Leonard Springs off of Sims there are a bunch of weeds / shrubbery/ trees that totally block the view to the South. So you have to inch out and hope to not get hit in the meantime. And with the way people fly over that hill south of Sims, it can be dangerous.
So my question is how can we get those trimmed? It is practically on the road, so not sure if it’s the county or homeowner?
I don’t want to cause any problems but also don’t want there to be an accident there. Sims lane traffic plus the Heatherwood traffic makes for a busy intersection. I’ve lived there for 30yrs and this is the worst I’ve seen those weeds / shrubs, whatever it is.
Any help would be appreciated!

The homeowner doesn’t maintain the back of the property along the fence line and alley. They have a fence that is 10’ tall preventing them from seeing how bad the vegetation is and we have been cutting it down ourselves. It also interferes with Duke energy lines and has a cord hanging in a tree.

Blocked Sidewalk
Wylie Farm Rd

On the north side of E Wylie Farm Rd between S Bayberry Dr and S Azalea Lane there is a wooden walkway within the 50' right-of-way that is very overgrown with Trees of Heaven and a lot of other plants. It is to the point where people are breaking off the tops of the trees in order to get through that part of the walkway. These are invasive plants and the City should do a better job at eliminating them or at least cutting them back. The Google streetview photo of that location dated July 2023 is attached along with current photos that show how the trees and other plants are taking over the walkway and that the tops of some of the trees have been broken off so that pedestrians can pass here. Please clear the area along this side of E Wylie Farm Rd as soon as possible. Thank you.

IRT U-Report 204012. the trash is located on city property at the intersection of E. Sheridan Drive and S. Ballantine. Did the inspector look at all four corners of the intersection????? I would have to guess not, as the garbage is still there!! Please take a second and look and do a more thorough inspection. Thank you.
