The wonderful new sidewalk so many of us use (1300 block of East Maxwell) was damaged by a cement truck working at the newly renovated home driveway, second house from Highland on the north side. On either side of the driveway, severe cracks will buckle over next few years with freeze-thaw and will be dangerous to the many of us who now use the sidewalk. Please see that the contractor repairs the damage done.
Black tailor and old truck are often blocking the sidewalks. This requires walking children to move to the road to go around, this is a major issue in the mornings and afternoons.
I am the C.O.O. of Bloomington Bagel Company. Our patio at 113 N Dunn St. was covered in hay this weekend. We have spent hours attempting to clean it up only to have more blown back minutes later. I believe this was due to the bike race and bales of hay being placed along the course. We fully support the race but would hope that the organizations in charge would respect the cleanliness of our downtown a bit more. Thank you for you time and attention.
The sign for Bradley and Meadowbrook Drive is tilted and cannot be uprighted easily. Someone hit it.
Sidewalk is cracked and uneven, also there is some slippery gravel on the sidewalk. Grating over drainage is missing as well.
The sidewalk on 2nd St between Arbutus and Eastside has large sections of hardened paving material that is a tripping hazard and an eyesore. It appears to be from a road repair there (perhaps where the water main broke) and may have been thrown up on the sidewalk with snow removal.
In front of 600 and 516 W. Allen St. The sidewalk is very poor and dangerous here. One slab is sticking above another at a hard angle. Whenever it rains, this area always floods a large pool.

With the snow that we had, the city plow trucks plowed in front of our house. While they plowed, they damaged a wooden retainer wall that was in front of our house. I have included images of the damage done. A lot of the wood pieces were strewn in our front yard, and I collected them and placed them in front of our retaining wall by the street. This is the first time so much damage has been done. We have lived in our house 3 years, and even despite the massive snow amounts we had last winter...the snow plows never damaged our property like they did this year. I have included pictures of the damage done.
