Overgrown weeds at 15th and Maple. Drivers have a hard seeing oncoming traffic.
There are many pedestrians like myself who walk North Walnut under the railroad trestle just north of 13th Street. On the west side of Walnut, this is so overgrown with weeds (some nearly trees) it becomes difficult to safely navigate there. Who is responsible to maintain this problem? If it's the railroad, they should be fined - especially in the winter when snow is NEVER cleared. The weeds are a nasty sight, too. One more thing, what should we do when we see homeless people making their 'homes' under the bridge. I just came past there and a couple of scary guys (trolls??) were making themselves comfortable. I'm a middle-aged single woman w/o a car so I often have to go to CVS from my home at 11th and Walnut. Thanks for any help you can provide!
Northside of Tapp Rd. between S. Adams and Rockport Rd - overgrown weeds and brush on sidewalk make it difficult to travel on the sidewalk.
120 S. Grant St. Poison ivy adjacent to sidewalk.
Alley between Washington and Lincoln off of First Street is totally overgrown, making it almost impossible to go from First to Wylie this way. My 90 year old parents live at First and Washington and we use this alley!
The house at 800 S. Fess Ave. has the most overgrown backyard in the area. 5 foot tall weeds, scrap lumber, stacks of rocks and junk are in this yard, visible from the alley between Henderson and Fess off of First Street.
Tall weeds on vacant lot corner of Gourley Pike and Cascades Ave.
The sidewalks on South High Street are being obstructed by low-hanging tree branches. These branches hang 3-5 feet above the sidewalks and may be hazardous to walkers and runners. They demand constant ducking and dodging, perhaps even into the street in some cases. The leaves conceal hard branches beneath them, and I have seen several walkers and runners hit their heads.
The house at 904 E. University has weeds that are overgrown. This yard has not been mowed all summer.It is unsightly and obstructs a portion of the sidewalk. There is even poison ivy growing right next to the sidewalk.
