tree branches and planting are covering/impacting over half of the sidewalk in front of 620 S. Park Avenue. It's been a problem for over four months. There was a big dead dangling tree branch (which has been removed) but the rest of the tree and the ground cover has taken over the sidewalk.
This property has trees/shrubbery taking over up to 75% of the sidewalk. Yesterday I watched an elderly woman try to navigate past it and it was very difficult for her.
I live in Canterbury house apartments and use the Bloomington Transit to get around. My daughter (26) and myself are both disabled and have mobility limitations. I would assume that it was from last Wednesday's storms, but there is a large tree branch blocking the sidewalk along basswood between the entrance to Canterbury House Apartments and the bus stop at Forest Ridge Apartments. We had a doctor's appointment this morning and had to be at the bus stop by 7:20AM and was surprised to see such a mess blocking the sidewalk. Since my daughter would be unable step off the sidewalk with her rollater walker to avoid the section that the tree branch covers it meant we had to walk from Canterbury House Apartments entrance to the entrance to Forest Ridge on the road. This was very unsettling for both her and I because we both know how bad cars fly around the corner and how fast they speed through this section. We came in from the bus at 2:25pm today and the tree branch was still there so we took a photo to show.
This large tree (picture attached) fell on the Jackson Creek paved trail (located south of Creeks Edge Dr) some three weeks ago. I'm not sure whether this tree's removal is the responsibility of the city? Thank you for your kind assistance!
Crabapple tree branches have grown over and down onto the sidewalk in front of the home at 1700 E. Camby Lane. Residents are unable to walk on the sidewalk beneath / next to the tree, and must move into the roadway.
Large shrubs along the Abby Lane side of the 1700 E. Camby Lane property are growing out into the sidewalk area. These impede the line of sight for cars exiting Camby onto Abby (right or left) and also force walkers to move into the street when walking on the east side of Abby Lane. The shrubs are so large that if walkers squeeze in to walk next to them on the sidewalk, it's uncomfortable to do so because they could easily conceal humans or wild animals and are therefore intimidating, especially during evenings and nights.

New tenants have been parking too close to street on driveway so that they are blocking the sidewalk.
Tree blocking entire sidewalk on north side of Grimes. I might have placed it in wrong block, but it is mid-block.
small tree/bush blocking sidewalk. Appears to be in front of no one's property.
