The house on the corner of Rogers Street and Prospect - 332 - has a bush to the south side of the property that overhangs the sidewalk making anyone taller than 4 feet duck.
I've reported this multiple times now over the past couple months. Sidewalk along North side of East Rogers is still overgrown with vegetation, including poison ivy. At this point this has been an issue all summer. Grounds crew were out mowing and cleaning up on south High recently, but they stopped short of cleaning this section up on Rogers. To clarify, this is the sidewalk/multiuse path that runs along the north side or Rogers Road, between High up to Winding Brook Circle.
The sidewalk has big areas of lifting due to the tree the city planted. I'd like to be able to keep the tree and maybe the sidewalk can be "shaved" to make it smoother for walking.
Two things: One) There is an encampment at 415 S Walnut (in front of iMechanic) that is growing and basically taking over the sidewalk at this point. Please remove them before this gets out of hand. Two) Can we please just add a dedicated category for reporting homeless and encampments on uReport. It is arguably the largest issue facing the city yet there is not a specific category to address it. Let's be honest and direct about the problem so we can actually address it.
Overgrowth onto sidewalk. Accessibility issue.
Out front of the iMechanic shop there is a growing encampment that is taking over the scooter corral and the sidewalk.

There is still storm debris blocking a public sidewalk. People including children and those with motorized chairs are walking in Rockport for about a bock and a half. Someone is may get hurt.
