Excessive Growth
708 N Washington ST
- Case Date:
- 5/17/2010
At the intersection of the alleys in the middle of the block bordered by Cottage Grove, 11th, Indiana, and Fess Streets, there is a large overgrowth (looks to be primarily bush honeysuckle) that has become so large that it is blocking about a third of the N/S alley that extends north from Hillcrest Apartments. This is not a major thoroughfare, but it does get vehicular traffic. The address "708 N. Indiana" came up when the location was clicked, but that is not right. It is probably IU property that is connected to the Hillcrest parking lot north of Cottage Grove.
Shrubs along sidewalk between 708 E. 11th (comes up as "044K" on google maps) and the empty lot immediately to the west have grown so much that it is difficult to pass, and at night it is so dark there that pedestrians cannot even see the bushes before they run right into them.
ALLEY IS OVERGROWN AT THIS LOCATION..EVERYONE ELSE MOWS THEIR SECTION OF THE UTILITY STRIP.

Overgrown grass at rear of the property. The utility strip between Dodds and Wylie St. has not been mowed.

Excessive Growth
The woman at 707 said there is a fire hydrant directly across the street that is hidden by all the weeds. She thinks the hydrant should be visible. (GIS showed 708 as directly across the street.)
Weeds and rusty cans and rusted swing set. Deer are living in the yard and eating all the neighbors flowers. Neighbors are going to call everyday.
