The bushes block, the sidewalk, and when they’re wet it’s not very nice
The bushes block, the sidewalk, and when they’re wet it’s not very nice
large bush on corner of property is very overgrown and interferes with ability to see oncoming traffic out of turn
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.
The weeds at this house are almost as high as the stop sign. Earlier today I almost hit three kids - 2 walking and one on a bike because they were hidden behind the weeds at the stop sign. Couldn’t see the kids around the weeds. I think it is a danger to our neighborhood to have the weeds blocking the sidewalks and the area near the stop sign. It was not the kids fault - but something needs done to make this corner and sidewalks around this house safer.
Bushes and weeds between Hot Pot and Smoke Time partially blocking the sidewalk along the south side of 3rd street.
A substantial tree limb grows Across the sidewalk on the Maple street side of the property at about 5 1/2 above the ground. It’s a real hazard!!
Weeds growing across the sidewalk path
The weeds at this address are taller than people. You can't walk down the sidewalk in the area because its so overgrown. The yard has been overgrown for at least five years now and it appears to be an ongoing issue. The overgrown yard is also creating safety hazards, such as blocking sidewalks, obstructing visibility for drivers, and attracting pests, including rats and raccoons. overgrown yard might be violating. The overgrown yard is affecting the neighborhood's appearance, property values, and quality of life for residents. Neighbors have complained numerous times, but the city doesn't seem to address the issue with this yard.
I have noticed when walking in the 1800 block of E. Maxwell Lane and specifically in front of 1803 E Maxwell Lane there are tree branches that hang low over the street and cars brush against it on the road and it makes a scrapping noise. Can this be addressed please. Thanks.
