Plants on SW corner of lot have overgrown to a point that the sidewalk is now impassible.
Plants on SW corner of lot have overgrown to a point that the sidewalk is now impassible.
Grass/Weeds needed cut, you can barely walk on the sidewalk section that's there.
Plants on NE corner of property (along Cottage Grove) have overgrown and are preventing use of sidewalk. Possibly should be associated with 408 E. Cottage Grove - unclear where property line is.
Weeds have overgrown and are blocking the sidewalk (again), preventing strollers and wheelchairs from using the sidewalk. Not clear is problem is responsibility of 314 E. 11th or 719 N. Grant (or both).
Not clear which address to use. City-created, grassy area in traffic-control sidewalk extension into the street needs mowing. SW corner of Grant/9th. Is this the responsibility of adjacent property owners? If so, would that be Plantation North Apartments, apparently now being referred to as "Campus Walk North" (CRE Rentals)?
Bush honeysuckle growing out, mostly blocking sidewalk. Needs to be dug up, not just trimmed.
Grass is knee-high, degraded sidewalk is treacherous, nasty couch sitting on porch and trash bins laying around out front. The place is an eyesore.
There is a City-owned tree in the ROW that is completely covered in vines, some of which are poison ivy. The vines are right next to the sidewalk, and are so high that the vine is going to seed. Is this the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, or does the City attend to its own trees?
The management company has not trimmed the thistle/weeds growing along the driveway and sidewalk and they have become unsightly and hazardous.
Yew bush/tree has grown out so far that it halfway blocks the sidewalk. This makes for a dangerous situation at night because the sidewalk is in really bad shape at the same location. Those two things together pose a major trip hazard if people have to navigate around the yew in the dark and also have to watch their step on the crumbling sidewalk.
