Bush honeysuckle growing out, mostly blocking sidewalk. Needs to be dug up, not just trimmed.
Bush honeysuckle growing out, mostly blocking sidewalk. Needs to be dug up, not just trimmed.
Large pile of trash heaped up against the NW corner of this building. It has been there awhile, and there is a faded HAND notice on the front door that appears to be for the trash but it has been ignored. This property also has bush honeysuckle growing out onto the sidewalk, halfway covering it now.
The individual failed to maintain her yard last year and it got cut one time all summer. It has not been cut this year and is already high thigh/waist high. Making it hard to walk the sidewalk as it’s intended.
This is about two things. There are bush honeysuckles growing out that are about half-blocking the sidewalk. Just a matter of time before it's completely impossible to pass by. Also, trash bins and mattress are lying by the street in the grassy area, which is also blocking someone who wants/needs to walk that way.
Grass is knee-high, degraded sidewalk is treacherous, nasty couch sitting on porch and trash bins laying around out front. The place is an eyesore.
Can the City require people to fix crumbling sidewalks in front of their houses? The sidewalks along 12th Street are all in good shape except for a single address that has a sidewalk that is so degraded that it's easy to trip and fall, especially in the dark. It would be great if it could be redone - otherwise, someone could get sued...
Sidewalk in between 608 and 616 S Eagleson is littered with trash
