Weeds and piles of pine needles on sidewalk, vines on wall encroaching.
Tree limb is going to fall on sidewalk - Gary our parking enforcement mentioned it and examination verifies it. Photo attached.
Poison ivy and other invasive plants are growing out of property, blocking the sidewalk and also growing up into the trees (SE corner of lot on Lincoln side)
Bush growth overtaken sidewalk, forcing pedestrians to walk into 10th st.
Not sure of address - might be both houses - but the shrubs on the north side of the properties here have grown large by the sidewalk and make it difficult to navigate without stepping to the side and walking on the grass. Definitely not ADA compliant at present.
Between 211 and 217 E. 10th Street there is an overgrowth that is blocking the sidewalk. I tried to upload a photo but it won't go through.
There is a City-owned tree in the ROW that is completely covered in vines, some of which are poison ivy. The vines are right next to the sidewalk, and are so high that the vine is going to seed. Is this the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, or does the City attend to its own trees?
Please check for over-occupancy. Four vehicles parked in driveway this morning, one extending out over sidewalk.
Last year, the section of the sidewalk at Washington and Cottage Grove was replaced, but the workers left a trench in the road that collects water and breeds mosquitos. I couldn't help but notice when similar work was done this summer on 10th street and a layer of pavement was laid alongside the sidewalk to fill the trench there. Probably just an oversight but it'd be nice to get this job completed.
Maybe a complex problem, but there is often standing water (rain or shine, but especially when it's been raining) on the sidewalk and the street in the block just east of Walnut on the south side of 12th Street. .
