10th st Sidewalk impassable due to vegetation at 10th and grant.
Recurring problem. See #184772, #177627, #184699, #184577, etc. Actual address not clear, as it is on the property line of two lots. Plants are overgrown into the sidewalk along the south side of Cottage Grove just east of Grant Street. Pedestrians need to use that side of the street to avoid the fraternity in the apartment building on the north side of the street.
Sidewalk is completely blocked by overgrowth of what appears to be a box elder (?) Tree is right on the property line between 412 (CFC) and 418 (Brawley).
Tree in the front yard has branches hanging down over the sidewalk. Owner needs to trim the branches.
Poison ivy along sidewalk at 305 9th st between grant and Lincoln
Trees and shrubs overgrown and blocking sidewalk for anyone taller than 5'4"
Invasive plants (bush honeysuckle?)on NW corner of property along Cottage Grove have grown out so far that the sidewalk is almost unusable. A wheelchair could probably not easily navigate it without getting stuck in the grass of the ROW. Should be trimmed back to property line, at least.
Plants are overgrowing onto sidewalk (NE corner of property) block pedestrian and wheelchair traffic.
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.
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.
