poison ivy growing into sidewalk
Sidwalk hazards on Henderson side of 600 E. Maxell: poison ivy growing adjacent, tall weeks on both sides of sidewalk, a pile of dirt on sidewalk never removed...now packed down but a barrier for disabled.
Northern curb of arch haven Ave where it intersects parallel path along landmark Ave is only raised curb on this path between 3rd st/Bloomfield Ave. This raised curb is dangerous on a bike.
One of the people that lives on this street has 4 cars parked bumper to bumper - obviously not using any of the cars. These 4 cars (one car, two SUVs, and a truck) are taking up lots of street parking that could be utilized by other people around this street. Although street parking is free on South Washington, these 4 cars are owned by one person and are never moved. If they were utilized more often, I wouldn't have complaints. It is obvious that someone has said something to the owner of these cars because they were spread out on the street a few weeks ago and they are now parked bumper to bumper. I am not sure if anything can be done about this, but I feel that is it unfair to take up 4 parking spots when parking is limited in Bloomington. Picture is not uploading.
The trash and recycling bins were on the sidewalk in front of the house this evening (Thursday). Since the bins were full and their trash day is Monday, I suspect the bins were placed out 4 days early.
Curb is crumbling and needs repairs
Sewer line Digging in yard has caused large amounts of fresh mud on sidewalk. Ongoing problem of errosion for months
Person has been living on the curb for roughly 10 days with several carts of belongings and a dog that jumps out barking at people as they walk by on the sidewalk. While the person generally stays on the part of the curb that is not the sidewalk, this can't be permitted to take place in a safe and civil city.
I was using my power chair to travel to the other side of Landmark Avenue to find a working crosswalk. When I got to the portion of sidewalk that borders the Anderson Medical Product's back parking lot (where they park all their vans), there was a curb with no curb cut, so I couldn't get onto the sidewalk.
