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.
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.
overgrown grass and weeds at 1006 E. 1st Street.
Overgrown grass
Our neighbors at 1000 W Countryside Ln have an annual issue with keeping their lawn within acceptable (and City of Bloomington) standards. To date, they have not mowed at all this year. We are seeing an increase in wildlife and pest activity on our property as a result. I am hoping someone might stop by to take a look and prompt them to take action.
Serious overgrowth in yard. Vermin and foxes are nesting in the yard, causing potential dangerous issues. Owners have been spoken to, and refuse to clean up their yard.
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.
Bamboo untrimmed growing over 20 ft tall, stalks drooping into neighbor's yard.
Golden bamboo was noticed today and is in the photo in elevate on this corner of Elm and W 6th St
