This large pine tree has been overgrowing the sidewalk (on right side of Landmark facing 3rd) for years. I walk this block everyday, and this chokepoint, where narrow sidewalk and street blend together, pushes me dangerously close to oncoming traffic. For fast traffic heading north on Landmark, this is a blind bend for anyone approaching from other direction. A large truck or van could easily sideswipe a pedestrian trying to step around tree limbs.
The overgrowth between the sidewalk and street on the NE corner of 2nd and Euclid blocks all the views of westbound traffic, creating a significant hazard. This occurs every year. The residents are apparently cultivating it. That overgrowth needs to be removed permanently.
The weeds are becoming a safety hazard for the neighborhood. We can't see around them to drive, make turns, or children playing. Can the weeds by the sidewalk be removed for better safety?
Stop sign at the end of Kerasotes is totally covered by vegetation. Sidewalk is also covered forcing pedestrians to walk in the street.
This person has complained about the line of sight issue along Highland between 1st and East Maxwell Lane. He walks along these streets and states that the cars park to close to the sidewalk in the parking lots and the bushes are overgrown. Would like this issue addressed.
Dear city of Bloomington, Would it be possible to have some of the trees/bushes obstructing the view on S Walker Street trimmed? These are also growing over the sidewalk. In particular, it is very hard to see incoming traffic when turning left from Howe Street. Warm regards, Guillaume Duty PhD student in the biology department
Woodlawn, alley between the Subway/apartment building and rental house. Shrubs block all traffic visibility. Pulling out onto Woodlawn, you can't see what's coming from the right/heading south. Not even pedestrians on the sidewalk can be seen. Dangerous to pull out here since you pull out blindly not knowing what's coming, but also very dangerous for pedestrians (and bikers/scooters) because we can't see them coming when we pull out. There is an IU parking lot in this alley, so it's used daily by several people who say a little prayer for safety every time they have to leave work from this location. This has been reported by colleagues more than once, but the building owner has never taken any action. Not even so much as to trim the shrubs back. In our opinion, the shrubs should be removed completely. Even by trimming, pedestrians still would not be visible.
Alley between Hawthorne and Ballentine. Pedestrian nearly hit on sidewalk
Bushes partially obstructing sidewalk 800 block of North Plymouth road. Need trimmed back.
