Yes, there are space invaders in Stamford. When I walk around, I see them all the time. Some of them are even alien.
Of course, I am talking about objects that have invaded my space on the sidewalks. They run the gamut from cars, garbage, trees and bushes.
The Japanese Knotweed is one of the worse. It just takes over. A close runner-up is poison Ivy. It loves to climb up bushes and then starts to protrude onto the sidewalk space.
One space invader that I am ambivalent about are trees that are lifting up sidewalks as they grow. I like seeing these mighty trees, but I feel for someone who has issues walking trying to navigate the lifted sidewalk.
I do wish cars and other vehicles would not part on sidewalks. There are times when I am forced to walk on the street because of vehicle blockage. Plus, it demeans the quality of life in Stamford.
Let’s end the plague of space invaders in Stamford.
