"Tree-Keeper" database reports 56 Ailanthus altissima ("tree of heaven") trees being maintained by the City. Given this is an invasive plant and is known to be the primary food source for Lycorma delicatula (spotted lanternfly), should the City be obliged to remove these trees that are listed on the State list: ("Prohibited Invasive Terrestrial Plants [312 IAC 18-3-25]", https://ag.purdue.edu/department/entm/iisc/invasive-plants.html) ? If HAND is going to proactively threaten residents by "asking" them to remove something that is not on the State list (e.g., bamboo), it seems profoundly hypocritical for them to not address a serious ecological issue that they are helping to advance.

Large (20+ ') Ailanthus altissima (so-called "tree of heaven", noxious and prohibited) trees growing on NE corner of lot, close to sidewalks. Another opportunity for HAND to connect with residents and make more friends.

"For Rent" sign in ROW along 12th Street. Company is "Cream and Crimson".

Case Date:

Pothole forming in intersection of 12th/Washington, closest to SW corner. Not all that deep right now, but wide enough to catch tires and in a place where cars heading east on 12th turn onto Washington. South side of this particular intersection appears to have had work done in the past, so it could be a recurring issue.

There is a relatively large water meter lid (maybe 18" in diameter) that is crooked and now stuck in an awkward position. It is located on the east side of Park about 40' south of 12th Street along the ROW. Since there are no longer buildings at this location (it might have served the old laudromat), it's possible this meter is no longer being used. If so, maybe the pit should be filled in. The way it is now, someone could trip on it or step into it or an animal could fall in and get stuck. It has been loose for at least several years and we have repositioned the lid every time it became uncentered, but this time it is locked in place and we cannot (meaning, we do not want to try to) fix it.

Our tap water is coming out of our sink with considerably less pressure than normal, and is an opaque white color. The water clears up in a few minutes and there is no lasting sediment, but it's happening with cold and hot water which is not normal for our house. We've recently had a snow plow get stuck on the fire hydrant outside of our home - not sure if that would be connected at all to this problem as the hydrant doesn't appear damaged. Thanks for looking into it!
