Once again the storm sewer drains in front of my house and across the street are clogged with debris. I do my share of keeping the drains free, but I think it is also incumbent upon the City of do its share. Keep in mind that it is now yet the season when falling leaves block drains and before the area between the street and sidewalk are dug up again to have more broadband fiber laid.
Street tree down blocking sidewalk storm damage
Large pile of debris. Also invasives returning in force to strangle the pine tree and starting to block the sidewalk.
The storm on tuesday caused damage to the city trees along the front of Bentley Court subdivision on Winslow Rd. The sidewalks were blocked with debris. And one of the big trees west of neighborhood entry has a HUGE branch balancing in the tree canopy above power lines. I cannot speak for what tree damage is east of our neighborhood entry as the sidewalk was blocked with fallen trees.
Furniture on the sidewalk
The sidewalk in front of 411 South Lincoln street is covered in a thick layer of gravel.
The sidewalk is covered with a think layer of run off gravel from the alley. Can this be cleaned up and something done to prevent this from continually happening?
The sidewalk in front of 411 S Lincoln is covered in gravel.
The sidewalk in front of 405 S Lincoln is covered in sand and gravel
I would like to suggest sending a clean-up crew for the sidewalk on Gordon Drive East of Henderson behind the Sweetbriar neighborhood. I walked past there yesterday and it is filthy and full of debris. Placing about three trash cans along that road may also help. I love Bloomington and really enjoy my walks both along the trails and in the neighborhoods. Cannot wait for the new the Switchyard Park!
