Weeds/vines are starting to encroach sidewalk.

Thank you for reporting this issue to us. We are pleased to report back to you that this issue is now resolved.

I don't understand why this issue was closed. I walked past there, 107 Ellery, this afternoon, and the plants and vines are still growing out over part of the sidewalk. I thought plants are not supposed to extend further than the edge of the sidewalk. I can't see that anything has changed since I reported this. Why was it closed?!

Stating the address as 107 Ellery was a mistake. The location is 170 Ellery. I hope you have that address as an open issue; the botanical obstruction on the sidewalk is still there, no change.

The correct address is in fact 107 Ellery (not 170), and it should be open; it has not been resolved. I don't know why it was changed to a tree pruning request; I reported botanical obstruction on the sidewalk--vines and other plants are extending out over the sidewalk. I reported this AGES ago, but nothing has been done. I have been notified twice that it has been closed.

Thanks, but the hedge is not really the problem there, at 107 Ellery. There are vines, greenery, extending out over the sidewalk at ground level.
