Plants are overgrowing onto sidewalk (NE corner of property) block pedestrian and wheelchair traffic.
Plants on SW corner of lot have overgrown to a point that the sidewalk is now impassible.
Plants on NE corner of property (along Cottage Grove) have overgrown and are preventing use of sidewalk. Possibly should be associated with 408 E. Cottage Grove - unclear where property line is.
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.
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.
I'll admit that this isn't one of the more extreme instances of "excessive growth" by any means, but it nonetheless reaches beyond the property and obstructs a portion of the sidewalk. The other day I had to pass by another person here and essentially found myself walking through plants/bushes.
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.
