Property corner of 12th & Jackson is a compete eyesore to the neighborhood, yard remains unmowed most of the time, trees have been allowed to grow out of the sidewalk, mothers w/babies in strollers have to go out into the street, and around to get through.
There have been several bags of trash (with no tags) on the sidewalk for 2 weeks.
There is a tree near the sidewalk on this property heavily infested with poison ivy, which is encroaching out over the sidewalk, and needs to be removed.
Front and back yard needs mowed. Trees, etc. arching over the sidewalk.
This yard is just a wreck the trash is out most all the time and much of the time cans are on the sidewalk. Veg. grows over the sidewalk, the place is just a wreck
After traffic calming device was installed at the corner of 3rd and Rogers, sidewalk had to be realigned. Realigning meant tree had to be dug up and the lawn in this area was never fixed. See letter
Comment/suggestion re: People's Park. Saw article in the HT about improvements. Would like to add a suggestion that the wall be removed. It attracts people to sit on it and attracts walkers-by to converse w/those sitting on it and blocks pedestrian traffic on sidewalk. In addition, it is dingy and unattractive. She applauds the Dept for its initiative to improve the park.
The employees at BPD park along the east side of Morton St. the sidewalk in the 400 block of N. Morton is overgrown with weeds, has a lot of broken glass on it and the sidewalk is broken and uneven in most places.
The corner house on 4th and Jackson streets has fireplace logs in the middle of the sidewalk. They have been there now for over a week. Also, the house on Jackson, next door, the owner planted trees in the alley.
Corner of 6th & Rogers, sidewalk has weeds growing to heights of 3-4 feet. This is the sidewalk running by Fulk Wholesale (now closed). Problem exists both on 6th St & Rogers.
