"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.

The stop sign on S Stull Avenue at E Maxwell Ln, going south, is obscured by a tree and can't be seen by drivers. I am a police officer with IUPD. A woman flagged me down to let me know that she was concerned because she had seen someone run the stop sign because of this issue. I went to the location and confirmed that the stop sign was hidden by leaves. She does not have email so I told her I would report this to the city to try to get it fixed. Thank you!
