Multiple tents blocking street/sidewalk. Almost fell getting through to eat.
The tennants of 321/120 (limestone mansion) on the corner of 8th and washington regularly obstruct the sidewalk to the point where handicapped individuals would have to ride over the curb into the street to get around them.
Garbage can(s) sitting on the road/sidewalk (10th street side)

On the south side of E Cottage Grove, between numbers 714 and 712, there is poison ivy (among the other vines) on a tree on private property not too far from the sidewalk. The house in the photo is 712, but upon looking at the maps and street view, I think the tree is on the 714 property. I figure I can leave that to you to figure out officially.
Car blocking sidewalk
IU Packer trucks are having a hard time getting access to trash containers along 9th because cars are parking along the curb. The sidewalk was recently re-done but curbs have not been painted. Thanks Jill
On the far east end of the brick sidewalk out front, nearly against the retaining wall of 311 E. Cottage Grove and alongside the alley is what remains of what was probably a former street sign pole. It was broken off at some point about 8 inches from the ground. The remaining stump of a steel pole is still there, and it is *VERY* sharp on the tip. It was painted yellow at some point - possibly an attempt to make this hazard visible, but that doesn't help at night. Someone could trip on it, or worse, someone could trip on something else and fall and be impaled on the spike at the top of it. Please remove it ASAP, but whoever removes it needs to understand how to lay bricks because after removal the bricks will need to be relaid and perhaps some will need replacement. Also, no need to replace the sign because there hasn't been one there in a long time and it was ridiculous in the first place to install a sign in a sidewalk where someone could walk right into it in the dark.
See issue #182770. They just ripped down the citation and left the trash bin on the sidewalk and the bags full of garbage littering the yard. What good is a citation if there is no way to follow up with a fine? These are students who will likely be moving out in a couple months.
