Poison ivy in tree bed on south side sidewalk. East most tree.
Poison ivy in tree bed on south side sidewalk. East most tree.
At the southwest corner of the Farm Stop/Badknees property there's poison ivy growing off a fence into the sidewalk at head and ankle height. Someone should probably cut it back.
Large shrub (bush honeysuckle?) at NE corner of lot has grown so much that it is now difficult to pass using the sidewalk on Cottage Grove. The property owner/manager (sign in yard says "Thatcher Real Estate") never shovels the sidewalk in the winter, but maybe the snow/ice complaints submitted to HAND earlier this year never made it to them. Probably good to be more proactive about this report, since the shrub is not going to just melt on its own like the snows did...
Median area where cables where placed in the fall is barren and needs grass seed. They left it in terrible condition
Curb and sidewalk entrance needs replaced, made ada like sidewalk across from it
Broken panel on the sidewalk in front of location.
Unsafe curb damage, north edge of Kirkwood between College and Walnut, dead center, opposite the south steps to the Courthouse. This is a trip/stumble hazard, which I know because I fell on my face there at about 4:15pm on 5/1/25. There is other curb damage along the same edge, and I believe the cutout around the lamp post is also a hazard. If anything still hurts in the morning, I will get medical attention. And your submission form doesn't work in Firefox.
Retaining wall on NW corner of 10th/Grant is collapsing (on-going problem), and one of the large stones is now lying on the sidewalk.
UNEVEN SIDE WALK, CLIENT FELL AND CRACKED OPEN HER HEAD
Caller to HAND reported that the metal drain covering on the sidewalk is sticking up and loose. It is very sharp and is in an area that is high-traffic for walkers.
