Description
At this location, the sidewalks have become completely overgrown. The dirt from planters and yards have extended onto the sidewalk until, in some sections, there are not even 20 inches of usable sidewalk. It is quite interesting, it appears that years of dirt buildup have buried the sidewalk on both sides and allowed for the grass and plants to regrow over the pathway. This is a significant challenge to navigate for residents with mobility aids (wheelchair, etc).
