Hole with stump in sidewalk on walnut coworker fell because of it and it’s been like that since this winter
The sidewalk at the north edge of the Goat Farm is covered with mud and water. I reported this on 3/30, #172124, and it was cleaned up. The problem appears to be a lack of drainage causing the standing water and residual mud.
I've reported this area twice, #172124 and #172370, but today it's impassable again due to standing water. I appreciate the work you've done to clean it up. I use this sidewalk frequently and I would like to know what permanent solution will be installed to stop this problem from recurring. It seems like the ground on the downhill side needs to be lowered next to the sidewalk to allow the water to run off.
Duke Energy would like to remove the tree as it may obstruct powerline work. We were contacted at Olympus Properties for removal approval, however, given that the tree is on the street side of the sidewalk, we were not sure if this tree may actually fall under city property. Is this tree property of the city of Bloomington?
Dead tree on city land near sidewalk. (Also other dead trees along the street that were planted in the same batch about 2 years ago)
leaving the City Hall parking lot by the SW ramp to the B-line (just south of the fence), there is a heave of sidewalk on the ramp, demonstrated in the attached pictures. It is significant enough to cause a County Commissioner to fall on Friday and create an avulsion fracture of her finger! (I cannot tell if the photos loaded, so you may have double copies.)
1320 E. First. Heaved up sidewalk. Pedestrian hazard.
Landscape plot should either be brought up to sidewalk grade or have a tree grate. This is a pedestrian hazard.
Large section of side walk missing. Several metal fence posts and danger tape within it. 6"+ drop from sidewalk. I would assume this is also hazardous poses a safety risk.
