There are 3 long vacant lots across from 1019 Countryside Lane that have weeds 2 feet long.
There are 3 long vacant lots across from 1019 Countryside Lane that have weeds 2 feet long.
909 and 917 W Cardinal Court Neither property owner has mowed their property on the south side of the "creek" in 2022. Grass, weeds, and overgrowth are now as tall as the fences of the owners who DO maintain their properties on the south side of the creek. Multiple uReports were submitted against 909 W Cardinal Court in 2021 for this same issue and nothing was done (the debris remains today, with animals using it as their den). This complaint is being filed by multiple property owners on Countryside Lane.
Tree fallen and blocking the street all the way across.
Overgrowth hanging over street on West Club House Drive. Low enough to scratch vehicles driving by.
There is constantly a truck on the sidewalk, and currently another car parked directly on the sidewalk. This issue has been raised multiple times to parking enforcement and to the police department. At best they are told to move and then they go right back to parking on and blocking the sidewalk. If this was anywhere downtown or near campus they would be cited and towed, but I walk with my child to Broadview Park and I am forced to walk in the dangerous intersection (the danger is apparent considering people park on the sidewalk so their cars don’t get hit). I want this on record in as many places as possible because if an accident does happen involving a pedestrian being struck by a speeding vehicle taking that turn, I want both the property owner’s and city’s negligence to be well documented. Thank you.
The parcel on w Cottage Grove doesn't have a address I'm not sure who owns it it's either a city or a Habitat parcel it overgrown and it's starting to grow on the side walk and the weeds along the street are getting tall. the parcel is across the street from 1003 w Cottage Grove. This area needs attention it has a lot of invasive plants in it.
city parcel - the first u report was reported on 7-2-25 the second report was reported on 8-5-25 the parcel is over grown with invasive plants and weeds are growing along the curb so the sidewalk is hard to use and it's the only sidewalk on the street. The house next to the city parcel is 1004 is also overgrown with invasive plants and the curb has weeds along it. The city parcel also gets trash from the dumpster from the Opportunity House.
The top of the sewer drains are covered with grass clippings from mowing and gravel. The drains starting from 1010 w Cottage Grove down the road on both sides of the street are covered and when the rain is heavy it causes the water to run in the middle of the street.
Theres is excessive growth of bushes and branches all over this lot. In the summer, there is poison ivy and the overgrowth blocks the sidewalk. There is also a dead tree leaning towards the neighbouring house. This is a concern because a tree next to this one fell during the December storm. The lot address does not have a number: it is on W Cottage Grove Av between 1208 and 1212.
Response to case 204377 overgrown weeds and weeds along the curb is taking over the sidewalk. The sidewalk is hard to walk on with the overgrowth and school starts Wednesday so it's not a safe area for kids to walk on.
