Japanese knotweed (prohibited plant) growing on north end of lot, close to and visible from the alley. Another opportunity for HAND to connect with residents and make more friends.
Japanese knotweed on property speading into neighbor's yard.
"Tree-Keeper" database reports 56 Ailanthus altissima ("tree of heaven") trees being maintained by the City. Given this is an invasive plant and is known to be the primary food source for Lycorma delicatula (spotted lanternfly), should the City be obliged to remove these trees that are listed on the State list: ("Prohibited Invasive Terrestrial Plants [312 IAC 18-3-25]", https://ag.purdue.edu/department/entm/iisc/invasive-plants.html) ? If HAND is going to proactively threaten residents by "asking" them to remove something that is not on the State list (e.g., bamboo), it seems profoundly hypocritical for them to not address a serious ecological issue that they are helping to advance.
Excessive Growth, vagrancy, structure failure, trash and discarded clothing littering the premises.
There is overgrown grass at the intersection coming out of the trailer park on Willis Dr. that is making it difficult to see traffic. Also at the lot between AT&T and the Bowling Alley, including bushes & trees coming out of the road and over the guard-rail.
Yellow groove bamboo on property. Overgrown. Vegetation obstructing sidewalk.
There is a large bush/small tree that sticks out in the street so that when you pass there going towards Kinser Pike you have to go over into the other lane of the street. If another car is coming in the opposite direction one has to stop. This needs to be cut way back or removed. It's been that way for a long time.
Apologies if this is the incorrect category. Backyard is a bamboo grove. Can be seen from E. 5th street.
State of property facing the road has been neglected for several months. Owners/tenants using the front yard as storage for fill dirt? See the picture. The dumping may be impinging upon the easement.
