Big rock at tree plot and alley in front of this property has been knocked into the sidewalk r/o/w. It has been obstructing the sidewalk for over a month
Over the past several months, the sidewalk in front of 1001 East 1st Street has gradually become almost completely blocked by trees and bushes encroaching from the yard. Yesterday, I was relieved to see someone *finally* trimming the bushes—but the work is completely inadequate. Half the sidewalk is still blocked, the bushes and trees still overhang the full sidewalk at a height low enough to force pedestrians to duck, and the trimmed branches have been left lying on the sidewalk. Please require the property owner (or owners—it's hard to tell where the property line is, and some of the problematic bushes and trees may be on the land belonging to the next house) to fully clear the sidewalk and haul away the resulting debris. It shouldn't be necessary to duck and fight one's way down the sidewalk, or to come away smeared in bird droppings.

Overgrown bushes to east of driveway block the sidewalk
Vegetation again obstructing passage on sidewalk on the Woodlawn side. During rush hour, with many walkers forced onto the street, this is dangerous.
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
Tree limbs are growing across the sidewalk at heights well below 8 feet on both the Hawthorne and 2nd St. faces of this process, impeding pedestrian access.
