I would like to report several trees along High Street with low-hanging branches that are partially blocking the sidewalk. These tree branches are hanging 3-5 feet above the sidewalk and making it very hard for anyone to walk or run without having to duck constantly. The tree branches are posing a hazard because pedestrians may need to step out into the street to navigate around them because they are partially obstructing the path. Is the city responsible for the trimming of tree branches above sidewalks? The issue has been worsening since last year.

The bike rack at Sahara Mart on 2nd street is not ideally located. It is afixed to a street sign. The street sign blocks one of the parking spots. The rack faces the street and if you park your bike on the side of the rack that you are supposed to, it hangs in the street. The other option is park your bike on the "wrong" side of the rack and have it hanging in the sidewalk in the way of pedestrians. Plus, the bike isn't well supported on that side, so the chances of it falling over are great.

Sidewalk directly east of/ next to Noodles Restaurant building @ 517 E. Kirkwood is completely dark afer 5:30 pm. Last night, there were people in the tree/shrub area as we walked toward the restaurant, hidden from view. Construction tarp along this sidewalk makes walking along this strip between building potentially dangerous. There is no lighting coming off of the building or the construction site/lot. Suggest some type of lighting from building or IU lot now storing construction materials.

The Bloomington Bagel Company at 113 N. Dunn Street recently installed giant umbrellas on their outdoor patio tables. As a result, the tables and chairs are extending into the pedestrian right of way on the sidewalk. The umbrellas are also not tall enough to safely walk under. It appears to be presenting several hazards and blocking safe access for pedestrians and individuals who use wheelchairs.
