Poison ivy growing next to sidewalk
Poison ivy growing next to sidewalk
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.
As has been reported before (#176415, #177627, #184577), the invasive plants on the NE corner of the property along Cottage Grove have grown out so far that they completely block the sidewalk.
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.
Part of the front of the property at 1112 S Washington has become completely overgrown with poison Ivy which now covers half of the sidewalk.
Walnut tree on the east side of property(7th street) is blocking the sidewalk.
Bush is overgrown and blocking the sidewalk.
Bush on the south side of the house(7th Street) is blocking the sidewalk.
Plants and trees overhang much of the sidewalk on the west side of S. Sare Rd. between Buttonwood and Rogers. The sidewalk is passable but more than half of it is blocked throughout parts of this path. Thank you!
Shrubs are completely blocking the sidewalk. They need to be trimmed. It is not my responsibility, but I have cut most of the limbs around Ridgefield neighborhood so neighbors can walk on the sidewalk. I reported this 3 TIMES last year, and ZERO RESPONSE!!!!!!!
