Car blocking the alley
Utility truck blocking lane performing maintenance without a lane spotter. Unsafe to pass
road is blocked/closed by a private company and has been since yesterday
There are three work trucks parked on Driscoll between Dunn and Palmer that are not moved. They seem to belong to a company that is parking them there permanently. They have not moved in well over 72 hours.
Friday Mar 27. Stella Ridge fire access lane has been blocked by construction equipment and a pile of loose rocks. This is on a slope and will roll down the hill. This access lane is used by walkers and bikers.
Owner of burned out house has erected a tent in the front yard encroaching on the road at a tight turn. It's a narrow street to begin with. House is a hazard, too. Trash and rodents piling up. There are small children living next door and lots of kids run around the neighborhood. I'm sure there are a million ways they can hurt themselves on this unsafe property.
Two cars parked in alley. Continuous problem at this location.
Our neighbor has a panel truck that he uses for his business (please see attached photo) that has not moved in months, and that is not an exaggeration. According to Bloomington City Code Section 15.32.070 this vehicle should have been tagged for removal years ago. I have just let it go hoping that he would get the damn thing running again but now he is renting uhauls and using this as storage. During our last big storm snow removal was greatly impeded because the plow had to navigate around the vehicle causing the snow bank to be in the middle of the street(see photo). What prompted me to submit this now is my wife and I witnessed a very close call between two vehicles passing each other from opposite directions on trash day. The car going south was forced to move closer to the middle of the street because of the truck and damn near clipped the north bound car. The streets here in Fritz Terrace are narrow to begin with but when you have a panel truck there constantly.....
Some company is cutting bricks and creating a HUGE cloud of debris. They are parked in the alley without signage or anything, blocking both entrances.
