Bushes growing in front of building at 123 South Washington St. are growing over the sidewalk.
This yard is all bamboo. The bamboo has grown out considerably into the street. and now some the stalks are completely parallel to the road and hang down considerably. Trucks would brush through it whenever. But cars just miss it, unless it rains when it actually is a bit dangerous hitting your car. The sidewalk in front of the house is impassable, too, with a lot of weed growth. Quite the neighborhood eyesore.
bamboo has again encroached on sidewalk. Weeds growing up in gaps on sidewalk make the sidewalk impassible. Pedestrians must walk in 6th Street to get past this house. Cars approaching the intersection on Elm Street must pull into the street to see if traffic is traveling east on 6th. This is a recurrent problem and was not handled by the city the last time I complained. This is plain and simple neglect.
Tree over hanging the sidewalk is hitting our school buses. Tree is located at 1st and Woodlawn. Thanks for the help.
Overgrown bamboo at 1002 W 6 St and Elm bending into sidewalks and street obstructing traffic. Bird droppings covering the sidewalk. The invasive plant has encroached on neighboring property where we live at 1004, so we are having to engage removal services and eventually install impermeable barriers at our expense. The back yard of 1002 is overgrown also, feral cats, possum and a skunk have been sited or smelled in a fallen shed which has not been cleared out. The Elm Street side of 1002 is full of debris and overgrowth and there is an unattended stagnant water feature where we hear frogs in the summer (which do attract copperhead snakes). Someone does seem to be inhabiting the house, though we know that the owner of the house does not reside in Indiana presently.
Vegetation is completely obstructing the sidewalk across the street from 108 East Cottage Grove
Excessive growth onto the sidewalk, not able to pass and stay on the sidewalk. This spot is the northwest side of the lot, same problem on northeast side.
Tall bushes are growing well over the sidewalk, forcing pedestrians off into the grass as they try to get from the sidewalk on High street to the crosswalk across Rogers to the Jackson Creek Trail. It is a particular challenge to navigate the sharp turn with a stroller when the bushes are so overgrown.
