365 NE Greenwood - Overgrown Vegetation

Problems with the sidewalks are not always limited to the concrete. When the vegetation along the sidewalk becomes overgrown, this can be a bigger problem than cracked concrete.

The photos below were taken on April 24. Since we are now 3 further along in the growing season, this situation is much worse.

Photo 1 - The shrubs just beyond the telephone pole are the problem. Note that the first shrub isn't even living anymore, but it still overhangs about half of the sidewalk.




Photo 2 - Looking West. Notice how much the sidewalk is obstructed by these shrubs.




Photo 3 - A closer view looking east.

Photo 4 - Another view looking east.



Additionally, there is a pretty good trip hazard on the concrete, at the eastern edge of the driveway. It is visible in the foreground of the Photo 1.

I'm going to forward a link to this posting to a few people at the City and see if they enforce the codes on this property owner.
