Excessive Growth

Yard overgrowth of weeds, etc.
Yard overgrowth of weeds, etc.
There are quite a few houses that have not cut the grass near the sidewalk and street all along South High St between Wimbleton and Childs Elementary (not just the location cited above). A lot of high grass is actually ragweed, and many people are allergic to this. It would be better for all if the grass and overgrowth were cut.
There are two bushes along N Woodlawn Ave (but one in particular that I am singling out in this complaint) that is growing over onto the sidewalk. It takes up about half the sidewalk and requires people to step onto the road verge when passing another person.
Overgrowth of foliage and brush from the property at 701 N Woodlawn Ave extends into the sidewalk and poses a hazard to pedestrians and passerby. Google Maps lists the property as bearing the addresses 701, 703 & 705; or 829 E Cottage Grove Ave.
Excessive growth and weeds significantly exceeding 8".
Throughout this area are low-hanging tree branches over the streets. A firetruck on an emergency run will need to reduce speed to thread this needle and lose precious seconds in what may be a life or death situation. Alternatively, the truck will just plow through and damage the equipment. What is the timeline to remedy this problem? (Pickup in photo for scale)
Weeds are 6' high. The front and rear of the property have excessive overgrowth.
Owners/occupants of this address continuously neglect their yard. Excessively tall grass and plants in front and back of property. Invasive bamboo is spreading rapidly into neighboring properties due to their carelessness. Property is a constant eyesore and is negatively affecting neighbors on all sides.
This area is in great need of cleanup and weed removal. As one of our major entries to Bloomington, this area makes our city look very dirty (cigarette butts and debris) and unwelcoming.
Once again, weeds have grown above City allowances. Please, once again, make them mow it. Thank you.
