Overgrown bushes are obstructing part of the sidewalk on N Woodlawn Avenue.
Overgrown bushes are obstructing part of the sidewalk on N Woodlawn Avenue.
Excessive growth in 5th st ROW and NOT in utilities easement.
Abandoned looking house. Eyesore. Peeling paint. Invasive vines climbing on structure. Mowed 1 time earlier this year. Seriously? There is no clean up enforcement that can be taken on behalf of the surrounding property owners whose property values suffer when blight like this seem to be enabled? by lack of proper regulation or enforcement?
Trash can on sidewalk for weeks. Grass completely overgrown.
I am writing to report significant overgrowth along the siding of my apartment in the Bloom apartment complex. There are numerous large Canada thistle plants and many thorned weeds that have grown far beyond normal levels. These plants are beginning to take over the surrounding woods and are starting to block sunlight from reaching my window. I the residents here have children and pets who have been harmed by this excessive overgrowth and no removal has been initiated despite numerous reports to the property manager having been made weeks ago. We all hope that this issue be addressed as soon as possible.
Extremely high weeds where the Railroad property meets Smith Road on both sides of the underpass and both sides of the street, I would assume this is railroad responsibility.
Difficult to get through sidewalk on NW corner of this lot because of weed growth stemming from vines on a tree on this property and also a tree in the ROW that is proximate. Because the trees are so close to each other, the overgrowth of the vines from them is hindering pedestrian passage between them. Property is owned by IU (as per Elevate).
I'll admit that this isn't one of the more extreme instances of "excessive growth" by any means, but it nonetheless reaches beyond the property and obstructs a portion of the sidewalk. The other day I had to pass by another person here and essentially found myself walking through plants/bushes.
Please correct me if I am wrong, when the sidewalk and utilities were placed on the outside of the west wall of the Covenanter Cemetery, the city was to take care of that area. It is a jungled mess. I am happy to spray the area and get rid of all the icy and other miscellaneous “greenery” but would like to know if that is our responsibility first. Thank you
Shamrock Pointe apartments, extremely high weeds, along the sidewalk and road at the entrance to the apartments in contrast to the other side of the street, which is well kept.
