Sidewalk on east side of Rogers Street north of 11th Street just south of the train bridge completely obstructed by honeysuckle. I saw a couple pedestrians walking in the bike lane to get around it. Thanks!

Sidewalk on the north side of roughly 11th Street where it meets Fairview Street completely blocked by vegetation. This is just southwest of the train bridge. Note that there are obstructions above ground level as well as at ground level. Note that there is further vegetation just around the corner closer to the train bridge. Thanks!

This is follow up on ureport #176835, covering the sidewalk just west and south of the train bridge at 11th and fairview. After 2 weeks without any progress from the city, I started doing it myself. I removed most of the large honeysuckle plants growing within 2-4 ft of the sidewalk. I removed the branches overhanging within 6.5ft of the sidewalk. As you can see in this picture, I shoveled the dirt off of the inner 1ft of the sidewalk, *and found the edge of the sidewalk* for the first time in decades!!! I did not complete the shoveling. I've put in about 3hrs labor at this site so far and anticipate another 1.5hrs before completion. It would be awesome if this kind of clearing happened at the numerous places where hillsides have collapsed onto sidewalks, often reducing effective width by 25-50%. should i finish shoveling this one or can someone in public works do it?
