Overgrown bushes and tree blocking alley on the west side of this property
Overgrown bushes and tree blocking alley on the west side of this property
When driving south on Nancy St, at the intersection with Hillside, it is difficult to see oncoming traffic because of overgrown vegetation. To the left it is hard to see cars. To the right it is hard to see peds and bikes on sidewalk. BTW when I sent a note in last year, you fixed it right away. Thanks for doing that!
The trees are hanging over the sidewalk so low that you have to duck to get by. It is not a well lit road and at night it is dangerous with people running into the branches hanging down.
The overgrown bushes along the west side of Madison on this corner make it difficult to walk on the sidewalk. The overhanging tree limb also makes it difficult to see traffic when driving east on Driscoll and turning north onto Madison.
Alley is impassible without scratching vehicle due to growth hanging over from the yards.
There is vegetation that hangs over the sidewalk in front of Willowbrook Apartments, 1201-1311 N. Maple Street
I own and live in a property at 118 N. Jackson St. The alley that runs directly by our home (runs parallel between Kirkwood and 6th Street) has become extremely overgrown in the last two years. It's often a dumping ground for clothes, junk and drugs (yes, I have photos of various people hiding items in the brush for others to retrieve). Heretofore, my girlfriend and I are the only people picking things up when clothes and junk are dumped in the alley. I would love a city clean up of brush, limbs, overgrowth and trash and feel like a better looking alley would not lend itself to discarded items so often. I've included one photo from my kitchen window of one (of several) instances in which a seemingly homeless man was hiding/exchanging items in the brush for (what i assume must be) other individuals to find. I of course realize this alley is never going to get a garden award but do believe shaping it up and removing much of the brush would help this situation greatly.
Sidewalk isn’t usable because of tree/hedge growth
