Shrubs overgrown onto sidewalk.
Ms. Borhan said the City tore up her driveway approximately a year ago and promised to return landscaping and everything back to "as was". She has not had any landscaping done and there is mud at the driveway.
Citizen says there is a large tree limb down to the west side of her property. She insists that this is a city easement and city should remove it - says the county always took care of it before. She's 82 on fixed income and can't take care of it. Wants someone to come look at it and determine if it is City's.
He says that the house to the south of him is a rental and the people park in the alley, blocking it., and then cars drive around them on his property. He would like to install some sort of curbing but does not know where the edge of the alley is.
