Bamboo overgrowth 1115 W 6th Street's SouthEast corner fence line is spilling over to easements of the three adjacent neighbors yards and easements. In addition to the rampant spread of this address's bamboo cluster, there is very serious concern that the utility pipes, water and gas lines, that run along the easements will be damaged or impinged upon. There is a city policy that overgrowth in yard cannot exceed a height of 8". Some of this bamboo overgrowth is over 15 feet! I love plants and I don't want to have bad relations with my neighbors, but bamboo is a terrifyingly overly successful plant species that belongs in a container. After hearing a story about bamboo on WFIU, I was heartened to learn that there might be some support from the city to help with this very insistent bamboo problem.
They had a water line or sewer line emergency at 719 W 7th and contractors tore up a lot of sidewalk on the South Side of W 7th Street in front of the house. Who is responsible for repair or sidewalk? This happened Thursday night and continued all day Friday 12/15. Contractor was Snedegar Construction.

This house has been abandoned since bob raper died over two years ago. The roof is caving in and the neighbors are concerned about squatters. What is the status? This is a blight on our neighborhood.
Can the mayor or risk management or the lawyers or human resources please explain what safety policies are? Who is in charge of the virus response? A coworker in another department told me yesterday that city workers are to wear masks now if around others, but our director isn't and coworkers aren't. We all are supposed to have cloth masks aren't we? Everything is super unclear or not followed. Who is even supposed to be at work? And definitely most folks walking around aren't masked it doesn't sound like. Can a mass email go out? Or an online meeting or something?
