Large (beautiful) sycamore on the SE corner of Fess/11th is encased in vines, some of which are poison ivy. This is right by the sidewalk, and appears to be in the City ROW. Is the trimming of the vines the responsibility of the owner? Elevate says IU owns this parcel. It looks like the vines are so heavy that it is stressing the tree. There is also a large maple (?) just east of it that has some vines, but it only looks like a Euonymous.

One of the two trees in the City ROW in front of this house (the west tree) is almost completely dead with large branches high up that look like they could fall any minute onto something or someone. The east tree looks fine, except for all the vines growing on it that could be stressing it.

I am renting this property and the landlord’s repairman did not connect the ventilation tubing to the outside so all the lint and debris is getting pumped into the air. I wanted to report this as a violation of housing code. Thank you.

Someone has cut a hole in the railroad fence in this approximate location on the Grimshaw Trail. The picture shows the hole and the insert is the nearest utility pole to the east of the damage.

My neighborhood (Near West Side) has been experiencing a very intense burning trash smell most nights for the past two months. This has been an ongoing issue for the past two years that I’ve lived here, but it has intensified. It causes me headaches and forces me to keep my windows closed and waste energy running my air conditioning. It’s not possible to walk around outside; this only happens at night. There are no neighbors or homeless people burning trash (I have walked around and looked, including on nearby train tracks). I have smelled this same smell coming from JB Salvage. Please help us! This is definitely causing long term health effects for this whole neighborhood.

A tenant in this house regularly drives the wrong way on 11th Street. To get to the parking spot in back, the approach should be from Washington (from the west) but instead she takes what she has decided is a convenient shortcut from Lincoln. This has caused near collisions multiple times with pedestrians who are walking on 11th street (which for some reason has no sidewalks in this block). Each time, she flippantly squeals, "Oh, sorry!" as if she didn't know better, even though she has been given a talking to about this several times. It is clearly marked "One Way" towards the east. Can the police give someone a ticket for something they did not actually witness? What is the best approach when entitled undergraduates regularly violate traffic regulations because they are inconsiderate, selfish, and feel the rules don't apply to them? This is a Chickering rental.

Time to cut the lawn again. Weeds are tall and going to seed. They are storing their lawn mower conveniently on the porch. Why do we have to look at that, and why don't they use it?
