Probably most people are spending all their money on paying taxes or working to earn that money. Maybe we have no time or interest in maintaining properties that are devaluing before our eyes. Depressing , ain't it? Maybe public works should maintain property for taxpayers who are busting their behinds working all day!!!

I am the person who sent in the issue a long while ago. This problem is still at issue. It is on the property of 10 Pope St at the corner of Woodward Ave.This issue has never been looked at. It has been reported to my Alderman and at the meeting along with a cd copy.It is not possible to pass by without being hit in the face with brush and along with that are the wires wrapped on the pole and hanging on the ground ever since the last storm. What are you waiting for?????

As of todays date 7-22-2013 there still has been nothing done to clean up this area of overgrown tree brush and hanging wires. I work hard to keep up my property and cannot understand why there has been no action on this issue.

Spoke to Linda Davis from LCI 7-25-13. Hope to get some results before long.

This is just waiting for a child to grab.

Sal DeCola its time to get involved--not just lip service.

Some time ago I posted that the wire was down. Ridiculous that it is still down after all this time. I walk by here all the time with my dogs and my children, and it is a terrible corner. The residents at 10 Pope are very nice people, but they are taking care of this side of the property at all. It is a mess. Same goes for the sidewalk on the corner of Fort Hale and Woodward. While there is not overgrowth, the sidewalk has been caked in clumps of wet leaves, grass and garbage for months.

I also noticed that area when i go walking. I also knew that someone had already reported it.I guess we don't yell loud enough.

8-6-13 a few days ago an attempt was made by owner of property to trim the tree and brush. No sweeping or general clean up--sand and brush on sidewalk. The wires hanging off the pole are still there. I realize the property owner is not responsible for that condition. So before some child hangs on it and gets seriously hurt please send someone to REMOVE it.

Sidewalk is still impassable due to the large pile of the clippings and branches. One has to walk around the telephone pole with the long, hanging cable to step in the street to pass. It is an eyesore and, more importantly, not safe. I have spoken with the property owner about this, to no avail. The neighbor who used to help clean up 10 Pope's lawn has moved so it is worse than ever.

As of todays date 8/31/13 the pile of brush is still in the middle of the sidewalk and cable still hanging from the pole. School is open, children walking in this area, my taxes are paid, now what seems to be the problem? If officials paid attention to this issue maybe i wouldn't be such a pain in the butt. Why is this issue being ignored. Maybe we should call news 8.

I would move the brush if I could so people could pass but it is a big tangled mess. My concern is for kids gong to and from school. they have to walk in the street to pass. Luckily, the cable was removed a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks Mary, at least 2 people care about the situation. I did notice that the wire on the sidewalk is gone, but look up and see that it was just cut up higher and is tangled in vines. I also thought about cleaning up the mess, but again the more we do the more is expected.I have plenty to do on my own property and i am proud of how it looks. I just wonder what will happen when the snow comes.

Oh gosh, I didn't think to actually look up! I just assumed. :). Sigh. I have actually tried to move the brush but my dog, her leash and myself got tangled and scratched up pretty quickly. Safer to go in the road! You are right, winter will be the usual icy, snowy obstacle there!

Attended the community meeting last evening and reported the issue AGAIN along with a new photo.Now lets see how long it takes to correct this situation at 10 Pope/Woodward.

Please correct this address. It should be 10 Pope St corner of Woodward. Maybe that is why nothing is being done.

todays date 9-17-13 still nothing done to correct this issue.

The CBs will be cleaned in the next 2 to 3 weeks

cleanup has been done finally
