Poisen ivy growing onto side walk
Poisen ivy growing onto side walk
The sidewalk on the south side of W Third in the 300 block has a section covered in sand and mud. Not sure who is responsible for upkeep but this is an ongoing problem with runoff from the County convention Center's parking lot washing mud and sand down on the walk. If there is not a permanent solution it needs to be cleaned off frequently.
Sidewalk has a layer of mud and gravel from improper drainage/run off, opposite driveway for 3218 e Moores
The sidewalk in front of this complex (Townhouses on 10th) does not have ramps, just curbs, to cross the driveway to the complex. There is also a sunken area east of the complex entrance that is completely buried in dirt now (I'm not sure if it is on their property or on Woodbridge's, it is between). This makes it very difficult to walk through this area with a stroller and also makes it inaccessible to anyone unable to step down or up on a curb (and when it rains, the dirt-covered area turns into mud and gets pretty slick). There are some other areas that have shifted so the sidewalk is no longer even as well.
Invasive plants have grown so much that they are now blocking the sidewalk on the SE corner of this property.
As the owner of Crazy Horse Tavern, I’ve been volunteering for downtown issues for over 25 years. One of my personal goals is to grow the tourism throughout the city for building a stronger economy. But I’m now tackling a problem related to the substantial growth in tourism. It initially seemed reasonable to allow tour busses to park on city street in front of hotels, but there a too many days where half of the available parking on the block is taken by busses. Some days,like today, it’s 100% bus parking g without a single parking space available for a visiting family or business guest in the hotel or even a customer for a downtown shop. This isn’t normal parking management. It’s not good parking management. The busses should be parked in a large lot like the convention center or Assembly Hall (IU groups) I have helped manage a lot of downtown growth issues and this one looks to be easily fixable. Thanks for any help Ron Stanhouse c812-345-1091
The 2 traffic circles on either side of I 69 off of Tapp Rd and dangerous. There is no reflective paint around the circle. At night you can not see the circle and I have driven over it since I cant see the boarder. I'd like to see reflective paint around the circle for safety
We recently had a tree removed from the spot shown, as well as having a tree trimmed on the other side of our driveway. The tree that was removed was rotted out as it was deemed unsafe. We moved to this location in 2019 with a new baby on the way. Fast forward 2 years and just after the tree was removed by the City of Bloomington, our now 2 y/o plays in front of our house and has now fallen multiple times because of the drop off on the sidewalk due to the tree roots that have lifted the sidewalk. Additionally, small animals have now made this area their home. This is the same problem on the opposite side of our driveway by the electrical boxes due to overgrown root systems of trees that were frankly too large to plant in there specific spots.The lift in the sidewalk from the tree roots has caused a major trip/fall hazards that are at least a 6in drop. Please advise.
On the corner of Henderson and Winslow There are these rusted posts sticking up. Looks like a good safety hazard waiting for somebody to impale themselves on. Plus no handrail for somebody who needs one.
On the SW corner of E Winslow Rd and S Walnut Pike there is a poison ivy vine sticking out over the sidewalk. It is at a height of 5 feet.
