3rd street just west of Fairview
3rd street just west of Fairview
Vegetation overgrowth in Alley behind 705 E Cottage Grove
Tree on property is growing out across sidewalk at a height well below 8 feet, impeding pedestrian access.
Shrubbery along boundary between properties - 715 E. 11th (IU-owned) and 723 E. 11th (private) - has grown so much that it is blocking the sidewalk. It is not obvious which of the two properties is responsible for the trimming, but it looks closer to 715.
Tree/bush is blocking the sidewalk, have to duck or walk off sidewalk. Needs trimmed
Bush overgrown into sidewalk, you hit it when walking or have to move off sidewalk.
The back yard of this location backs up to Tamarron Dr. A city street tree along Tamarron Dr has fallen.
Retaining wall is beginning to collapse again. Currently, some large, limestone blocks are lying in the middle of and blocking the sidewalk on Lincoln at the NW corner of the property.
Retaining wall collapsing (again) on NW corner of property. Large limestone block has fallen into sidewalk, blocking wheelchair and stroller passage.
Identical issue to uReport cases #181052 and #171211. Large stones from corner of retention wall (NW corner of property, Lincoln side and adjacent to the alley) are not professionally set and have a habit of falling down onto the sidewalk. Currently, the fallen stones are not completely blocking foot traffic, but wheelchair/stroller traffic is impeded and the stones pose a dangerous stumbling hazard at night. The property owner should have the wall redone by actual, competent masons so that this doesn't happen again.
