The Public Works Department has addressed this issue and the issue has been closed.

The area is already beginning to look bad again. It will only be a short time before is begins infringing on the sidewalk once more.

This matter has been referred to the Zoning Officer and Ordinance Enforcement Officer for further action.

Tall Grass and weeds is for weeds and tall grass over 6 inches within 150 feet of a residence. This area is not within that distance. The Ale House is being instructed to keep the sidewalk clear for pedestrians and the speed limit sign visible. If the expectation is this should be landscaped better then that is an issue to be taken up with the Ale House or the entity responsible for maintenance.

It is not a matter of being "landscaped better." It is a matter of keeping the sidewalk clear to pedestrians and the traffic sign visible to drivers, which has not been done routinely up to now.
