206 S Smith bushes overgrown into sidewalk
Sidewalk obstructed by vegetation at 211 e cottage grove.
Concrete retaining wall has broken apart and fallen into and is currently blocking the sidewalk. This has been like this for a while now.
Road closed sign is blocking the sidewalk.
There's a tree/bush here that needs trimmed, it's over the sidewalk where you can't use the sidewalk
Tree needs trimmed. You can't walk down the sidewalk.
This property immensely violates the City code regarding overgrowth of the yard and landscaping. In fact, the public sidewalk attached to this property that runs along 16th Street is practically impassable. There is barely a walkable path where the sidewalk should be.
When it rains, water sheds to the west off the B-Line and drops sediment on the sidewalk along Kirkwood. It seems preferable that the water would shed toward Morton Street where the storm water drains can other job. The sediment deposit from the rain last week is still covering the sidewalk on the north side of Kirkwood.
Shrub and tree on the north side of the property need to be pruned as they are taking over the sidewalk.
Property manager does not maintain sidewalk clearance. Passersby have removed obstructive invasive branches which remain piled in the yard. The tree in the photo has multiple invasive weeds that need to be removed as well as the tree trimmed back from the sidewalk. There is another tree north of this location that is in similar condition. I personally brought this to the attention of the property manager with no response. Hence turning to uReport. Thanks.
