Poison ivy growing next to sidewalk
We've had a problem with invasive Tree of Heaven ever since the city came a couple years ago to clear the overgrowth in the "alley" space at the northwest corner of the property. Since then, the overgrowth has of course returned, but it's now more aggressive, with the inclusion of Tree of Heaven, which is spreading to the rest of the property. It might be a good idea to clear that overgrowth again. Perhaps there are other preventative measures that can be taken.
The property right next door, 1623 E 1st St, is a rental property that the tenants just moved out of. The trash can is overflowing and blocking the street for over a week. (Mr. Bigelow called the front desk of City Hall and spoke with me - Isabella V)
My recycling was picked up yesterday, but my trash was not. Both were sitting in the driveway as usual. I can wait to set it out again until next week, but I thought I would report the issue and ask that they be sure to take the trash as well next week.

The road was repaved in front of our house but the new asphalt stopped just before our driveway. This created a pothole / rut on the side of the road where our driveway meets the new asphalt in front of our mailbox. Turning right out of our driveway our back tire hits this rut each time. It is a very busy intersection and we have to get out of our driveway quickly because people are rude. It has to be difficult for the mail truck to pull up to the mail box. We were hoping this area could be filled in like a pothole. I tried to attach a photo but it doesn't seem to actually attach the file. Thanks.
There was a homeless camp in the woods by Clear Creek at the end of Pinewood Drive. The people have moved on, as all their tents have been removed. However, there is a lot of remaining trash. Is it possible to have sanitation clean up this area? Please let me know if I need to contact someone else for this request. Thank you!
On the west side of the intersection at Covenanter and College Mall Road there is a lot of sand and gravel in the road as of a few days ago.
The property pictured on ticket is located on Xavier Ct. It is fenced in. The part of the property on the other side of the fence, along the walking path and street, is overgrown and covers quite a bit of the walkway. The people who own that property have neglected maintaining that area for many years now. I'm hoping that the city can clean it up or notify the property owner to please clean up the area so the walkway is not obscured by overgrown, invasive greenery. Thank you.
There is a green graffiti tag on the yellow curb in front of 1315 S Lincoln.
