401-417 North Grant Street

Case Date:

At the NW corner of Grant and 8th there is a shrub that blocks the view of oncoming traffic when one is waiting at the intersection on Grant heading south. The traffic on 8th is sometimes quite fast, and there are often also parked cars nearby make this a dangerous intersection. It is especially bad during summer when the shrubs are in leaf. They should not just be trimmed but instead removed completely from the corner.

I am a school bus driver for Bloomington Public Schools. The line of sight view when stopped at the intersection of 102nd and Lyndale Ave is obstructed by a few branches when looking to the north. At my last check, a large limb has fallen, but some cleanup is still needed to give a clear view of traffic to drivers sitting up higher in a bus or truck. Your help is most appreciated. Paul S.

1424 S Washington ST

Case Date:

Attempting to turn left onto Hillside onto Washington is extremely difficult during high traffic times. Contributing to this is the very poor sight line when attempting to see oncoming traffic - the hill up from walnut blocks westbound traffic to a degree, and the porch structure built to the property line at 202 E Hillside makes it very hard to see eastbound traffic. What could be done to make this intersection feel less perilous?

This dog-leg is a heavily used walkway for the employees of Solution Tree that has to walk across the street to get to parking lot. I have almost been hit many times as well as my coworkers. Cars do not slow down and it is a BLIND bend. Please make this a top priority to put a sign up before someone gets seriously injured or killed. I really appreciate your time and God bless. -Dean Chapin - Solution Tree 555 N. Morton

Turning left/south onto Rockport from Ralston is frightening. This morning I almost got hit. I do look north and south several times each before turning out. From the north cars are coming over a hill, and we can't see far enough south onto Rockport to see a car coming north. The trees on the SE corner of that intersection need to be trimmed way back, regularly. Thank you for listening and helping!

out on west 3rd street, there's a median that has a multitude of overgrown trees & bushes. for example, if someone living on yancy lane drives to kroger/west, then upon return, can't turn left onto yancy safely, because of the overgrowth there. can't see oncoming cars well enough, so have to go further & then turn around to come back.

There is a very uneven crack in the sidewalk in front of The Bishop just up from the corner of 4th and Walnut, sort of in front of the tree that was removed. Last night I was walking up the sidewalk and fell on all fours because of the crack. Luckily I didn't break my already repaired wrist to which I am still paying medical expenses and only escaped with a cut knee. When I sat down, a woman mentioned that while visiting The Bishop, she sits in their outside seating area and sees people trip over this crack countless times. Upon hearing that, I too remembered seeing a woman fall on all fours in the same spot. Clearly, this is a hazard that should be looked at and taken care of. Thank you.
