Retaining wall falling on sidewalk at 307 e cottage grove
Tree branches need to be trimmed as they are blocking the sidewalk. 316 n Washington
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 sidewalk closed signs have been removed from the new pathway on High Street, yet the new driveways that were poured are several inches higher than the pathway. This is a significant hazard for pedestrians, and bikers.
Excessive vegetation growth is impeding sidewalk access.
Stranded pedestrian: Sidewalk ends on both sides of the street going west on Rogers at the Stands. There was no signage for the lack of pedestrian access when I came out of Spicewood.
A hole has opened up in the paved sidewalk just east of the Meadowlands apartment complex drive along the north side of rogers road. A metal disc had been covering the hole, but the hole has widened and the cover has fallen in. I live in the Spicewood neighborhood and walk this way frequently--it could be really dangerous for a bike or child walking.
On March 10, I wondered where the pedestrians are supposed to pass on the sidewalk adjacent to the entry walk to the Salvation Army store on Rogers.
At the following addresses, the clearance space above the sidewalk surface and the bottom of the tree canopy is quite a bit lower than the eight feet stipulated in Section 12.24.040(2) of Bloomington’s Municipal Code. The low bottom of the tree canopy at these addresses blocks the sidewalk and represents a safety hazard for pedestrians and runners. Could you please look into this issue? Thank you! 3906 E Brighton Crest 3916 E Brighton Crest 929 S Brighton Crest 807 S Brighton Crest 701 S Brighton Crest (tree on Bennington Blvd) 4049 Bennington Blvd 559 S Park Ridge Rd (R3 Reserve, west side of Park Ridge) 365 S Park Ridge Rd 4405 E 3rd St (gas station, tree south of gas station exit on N Park Ridge Rd) 125 S Park Ridge Rd 109 S Park Ridge Rd 4401 E Cambridge Ct (tree on N Park Ridge Rd) 610 N Park Ridge Rd 903 N Park Ridge Ct 824 N Plymouth Rd 4305 E Walpole Ln (trees also on Plymouth Rd) 615 N Plymouth Rd 501 N Plymouth Rd 331 N Sheffield Rd
The reflective signs designating the runoff/curb/flower boxes on Allen Street are white. They completely disappear in the snow. Several cars have driven into and over the curbs. Large yellow/green/red signs are needed to make these less hazardous.
