Ridgefield IV neighborhood Bob Shaw is the developer. Bob tore out sidewalks august 2022 without city’s permission. Almost 2 yrs later and still no sidewalks. 3 residents with disabilities(one uses a scooter) along with multiple children in neighborhood. We need accessible sidewalks and for the city to go after Bob Shaw!
The sidewalk on the NE corner of Forrest and 11 is not accessible. It has a severely steep grade and bank (one corner is much higher than the opposite). I would not travel along the block on the North side of 11 between Forrest and Walnut Grove because of it.
There are "bump-outs" with pipes extending up from the ground surrounding them. I imagine the purpose for these is to protect pedestrians. The only problem is that they extend into the street, causing pedestrians who would not normally be out into the street this far to be there, and also they make it dangerous for cars turning left on each of these (Walnut onto 14th, 14th onto College)because it narrows the turn access, and it also blocks the site of the driver. Why are we putting pedestrians out into the street? Seems like a dangerous situation to me. Thank you.
There is a lot of vegetation growing across the sidewalk covering more than half the sidewalk and it's invasive stuff, so it should be pulled not just cut back. This extends along the city owned property and somewhat to the adjacent home owner's property.
Overgrown vegetation on the north side of E First St is blocking the sidewalk
Sidewalk along eastbound 13th Street is rough and uneven between N Forrest Ave and N Walnut Grove.
The multi-use trail on the north side of Winslow Rd has low hanging limbs and bushes growing out into the trail.
City of Bloomington has not mowed adjacent to the paved pathway they purchased from us last year at the corner of S. Henderson & Moody Drive.
A citizen called to report a concern and wishes to remain anonymous. According to the caller, for two months there has been no construction on the bike path off of Sare Road. There are still signs saying 'sidewalk closed' as well as 'construction ahead' but it appears that the construction has stopped. Lastly, the Spicewood II sign had been taken down and since put back up but the citizen is disappointed there has been no landscaping done and the limestone around the sign was broken.
High street sidewalk project looks like absolute horseshit. Kids walk through a half complete construction zone everyday with trash, busted up concrete and rusty rebar laying everywhere. This is completely unacceptable. Finish the project!
