"Tree-Keeper" database reports 56 Ailanthus altissima ("tree of heaven") trees being maintained by the City. Given this is an invasive plant and is known to be the primary food source for Lycorma delicatula (spotted lanternfly), should the City be obliged to remove these trees that are listed on the State list: ("Prohibited Invasive Terrestrial Plants [312 IAC 18-3-25]", https://ag.purdue.edu/department/entm/iisc/invasive-plants.html) ? If HAND is going to proactively threaten residents by "asking" them to remove something that is not on the State list (e.g., bamboo), it seems profoundly hypocritical for them to not address a serious ecological issue that they are helping to advance.
Large (20+ ') Ailanthus altissima (so-called "tree of heaven", noxious and prohibited) trees growing on NE corner of lot, close to sidewalks. Another opportunity for HAND to connect with residents and make more friends.
The sand in the intersection of 12 and Washington is quite hazardous to cyclists turning onto Washington; could this be swept up please?
820 north Washington trash piles up behind house
Huge garbage pile on 12th Street side of property. Note: not all this garbage originated at this address. Some came from 209 E. 12th, some from 207 E. 12th. None of it is tagged.
Several houses in neighborhood recently emptied out and the tenants put all their trash in a large pile on 12th Street outside this house. Who is responsible for removing it? Some addresses involved were 201, 207 and 209 E. 12th Street.

This house has had several bags of trash in their yard for over a month. Animals have gotten into it and spread it around and instead of putting it in their trash cans (which are right next to the torn bags) they continue to ignore it and trash has been spreading down the sidewalk and the street.
