Overgrown bushes to east of driveway block the sidewalk
Sidewalk obstructed by overgrown tree branches
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.

Sidewalk on Southside of 11th Street looking West at the Bentley construction site. MOT says there's supposed to be a walk around here. They removed the fence and blocked the walk around to work around the fact that they had piled supplies in the space that was supposed to have been reserved for crane access.
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!
