at 1217 W 6 Street. Weeds, including possible poison ivy, overgrowing the sidewalk
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.
There are trees in between my property and the property behind my yard that have overgrown and now are touching power lines. We can hear zapping sounds coming from a partially dead pine tree. The tree have also uprooted a portion of my fence, in the back of the yard. This is happening on the back end of the property, by the alleyway.
Overgrown and trash in front and back, dying bamboo into alley, falling down porch.
Vegetation growing at edge of street through sidewalk all along Fairview side of Butler Park. Area of park around culvert near Fairview is choked with bindweed, Johnson Grass and more.
Vegetation is growing over the sidewalk on the Maple Street side of house. Sidewalk is impassible the entire length. You have to walk out in the street. Looks terrible and is a safety issue.
Overgrowth at the stop sign. Covering a portion of the sidewalk. Intersection of 6th & Maple. The overgrowth is at south east corner of the intersection.
Golden bamboo was noticed today and is in the photo in elevate on this corner of Elm and W 6th St
