Good morning. There is a great deal of black swallow wort growing on the fence behind the bleachers at Victory Field.

Are residents allowed to cull it? I can see the grass is mowed there, but the weeds on the fence ignored. The pods are going to ripen and cause problems.

Trees and shrubs are overgrown, blocking sidewalk and street crossing

(1) Large mounds of leaves in the street need to be removed by DPW. (2) The City or State has parked large street-digging equipment here, and there are several pieces of SHARP METAL and large wooden things buried on the "grass strip" area. I am a neighbor and I just spent 45 min. raking leaves off the SIDEWALK. Please have DPW remove leaves in street and also remove hazardous metal and wood on grass strip. Residents need to have a clear sidewalk and absence of things they can trip on on grass strip. Whoever is parking heavy equip here must respect residents' need to access sidewalk and be able to cross the street. Thank you.

Shrub from Howe park is growing into our backyard Will like it trimmed

There is portion of Fayette Street that is city property and is not regularly maintained. Leaves are piling up and proving safety concern when wet, etc. Asking for city to conduct fall clean-up so that neighbors do not have to spend time, money and effort to clear. Thank you!

All shrubbery to the right of the Engine 4 bay (right side of building as you are facing it) and down the property line along the same side of the building are in need of pruning.

Missed Trash Pickup - escalated to Republic Services
