Trash bins alongside street.
These hand rails stick into the public sidewalk - a pedestrian not paying attention could run into these or a bicyclist could really have a collision with these. In at least two places. And they have put reflective tape on them which seems to indicate past problems.
At the intersection of the alleys in the middle of the block bordered by Cottage Grove, 11th, Indiana, and Fess Streets, there is a large overgrowth (looks to be primarily bush honeysuckle) that has become so large that it is blocking about a third of the N/S alley that extends north from Hillcrest Apartments. This is not a major thoroughfare, but it does get vehicular traffic. The address "708 N. Indiana" came up when the location was clicked, but that is not right. It is probably IU property that is connected to the Hillcrest parking lot north of Cottage Grove.
Smoke detector has been beeping from condo for low battery for weeks. There are 4 condos per building, the windows in unit 708 have been open all summer, and the beep echos in the woods behind. If there is a fire it's feared maybe not all occupants will be notified potentially causing loss of life. The unit seems to be owned and occupied currently, but unsure whether occupant is aware of smoke detectors importance.
Someone illegally dumped a rug on the gravel part of the alley next to my 708 E 11th St house.
Shrubs along sidewalk between 708 E. 11th (comes up as "044K" on google maps) and the empty lot immediately to the west have grown so much that it is difficult to pass, and at night it is so dark there that pedestrians cannot even see the bushes before they run right into them.
