WRT #205296 - I have reported this in the past. Also, the city knows when students are moving in and out in August. Instead of leaving the heaps of trash by the ignorant or unwilling offenders (not asking for coddling), prepare the team for the excess and be ready with extra pickups, on the spot fines, knocking on doors to hand out the rules for example, to deal with this very predictable and temporary disturbance in the system.
City parcel on w Cottage Grove is overgrown and has been reported several times it's covering the sidewalk and it's the only sidewalk on the street that kids walking to school use. The weeds are also growing along the curb .
Foliage/brush from the property at 701 E 10th St (northeast corner of the intersection of N Fess and E 10th) has completely obstructed the sidewalk.
You just spent $50000-$100,000 putting in handicap ramps and textured strips for blind citizens at the corner of Cottage Grove and Dunn. The house on Dunn, just south of that intersection, has a rope/hammock strung right across the sidewalk for four days. Should a blind person walk thru here, they wouldn't see it and would be "clotheslined"
Brush/shrubbery are overgrowing onto the sidewalk on Indiana Avenue.
There is a notable amount of brush overgrowth onto the sidewalk from vegetation that lines on and around the property line between the properties at 519 and 525 N Fess Ave.
On the bicycle path behind the house at 312 N. Overhill Drive, the vegetation is blocking a significant part of the path where it turns, which creates poor visibility and a collision hazard.
A lot of effort has been done to trim trees and remove invasive honeysuckle along this trail the last year. Unfortunately, the perhaps even more invasive tree of heaven has taken its place. I've noticed dozens of saplings that have grown already up to 10 feet tall this year.
Tree down across trail in Southwest corner.
