bushes overgrown onto sidewalk
There are shrubs/trees sticking out and hanging low over the sidewalk at the south edge of the new Switchyard Apartments. Additionally, the sidewalk is overgrown with dirt, sand, and grass such that it is inaccessible by wheelchair and possibly for those with other mobility devices. This is of great concern because there is a tenant moving in the apartments soon who uses a wheelchair and will be needing to access the sidewalk to travel to Bloomington Transit bus stops on South Rogers and intersection for safe crossing. Thank for taking care of this for her and other pedestrians who are inconvenienced by these obstructions.
Front yard overgrown with weeds (over 12"). Pampas grass in tree plot was trimmed a few weeks ago but is now obstructing sidewalk again.
Sidewalk obstructed by overgrown yard--both laterally and from the low-hanging tree/shrub branches
Low tree branches obstruct sidewalk right of way from above. Also where 812 and 808 boundary lies, low vines and shrubs obstruct sidewalk from the side.
Dumpster is persistently placed where the horizonal bar, about 5 feet high, sticks out into the public sidewalk right of way. I am worried that a child is going to run down the sidewalk and get a concussion.
Poison ivy growing over sidewalk.
The situation I reported a couple of weeks ago has worsened. The big, commercial trash bins are stored on the University St. sidewalk, often open and with trash in them. This is a trash obstacle course to use the University-side sidewalk of this property.
The vegetation obstructing the sidewalk on the Maxwell side of the house has been successfully cut down. But the groundcover still occupies about a third of the width of the sidewalk. Please ask the homeowner to edge or pull up the weeds so that we can use the full width of the sidewalk on Maxwell.
