Pothole forming in intersection of 12th/Washington, closest to SW corner. Not all that deep right now, but wide enough to catch tires and in a place where cars heading east on 12th turn onto Washington. South side of this particular intersection appears to have had work done in the past, so it could be a recurring issue.
"For Rent" sign in ROW along 12th Street. Company is "Cream and Crimson".
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.
"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.
Snow on sidewalk
Garbage can and trash on the street now for two weeks, bags are being broken into by animals.
Limbs and bushes blocking the sidewalk.
IU "Trident" logo has been incorporated into the roof design of 817 N. Washington, a rental house managed by "Cream and Crimson" properties (a small local company that is not affiliated with the University.) Is this a violation of any City signage ordinances (size, placement, trademark infringement, etc.)? It is unsightly.
Recycling bin on sidewalk - has been there for weeks.
