Plants are overgrowing onto sidewalk (NE corner of property) block pedestrian and wheelchair traffic.
Plants are overgrowing onto sidewalk (NE corner of property) block pedestrian and wheelchair traffic.
Plants on SW corner of lot have overgrown to a point that the sidewalk is now impassible.
Plants on NE corner of property (along Cottage Grove) have overgrown and are preventing use of sidewalk. Possibly should be associated with 408 E. Cottage Grove - unclear where property line is.
Weeds have overgrown and are blocking the sidewalk (again), preventing strollers and wheelchairs from using the sidewalk. Not clear is problem is responsibility of 314 E. 11th or 719 N. Grant (or both).
Not clear which address to use. City-created, grassy area in traffic-control sidewalk extension into the street needs mowing. SW corner of Grant/9th. Is this the responsibility of adjacent property owners? If so, would that be Plantation North Apartments, apparently now being referred to as "Campus Walk North" (CRE Rentals)?
Bush honeysuckle growing out, mostly blocking sidewalk. Needs to be dug up, not just trimmed.
Yew bush/tree has grown out so far that it halfway blocks the sidewalk. This makes for a dangerous situation at night because the sidewalk is in really bad shape at the same location. Those two things together pose a major trip hazard if people have to navigate around the yew in the dark and also have to watch their step on the crumbling sidewalk.
Please close report #177626. It was mistakenly associated with 810 N. Lincoln. The correct address is 806 N. Lincoln, and there is now a case for that address (#177802). The wall at 810 N. Lincoln is not sound, but it is not currently crumbling into the sidewalk.
Recycling bin being stored on sidewalk
The snow on the west sidewalk is piled up so high it is impossible to walk through. It is more snow than nearby un-shoveled areas. It creates a dangerous situation for pedestrians, forcing them to the street.
