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 multi-use path has trees blocking it. I reported this last year on 6/23/2016 to Parks & Rec and I kept getting referred to different departments with the final message on 12/6/2016 saying it was up to the street department. Even so, this path is still blocked. I hope you are the correct department and can help this time.

this is often an issue in front of my office, with the road newly paved could you consider wheel stops to keep pedestrians right of way unblocked? thank you

This curb is at the alleyway S of 1818 Apparel Co. on N College. It, and the next 5-6 sidewalk slabs South, represent the last obstacles to power wheelchairs using the sidewalk from Square Donuts to CVS. This trip has become increasingly important for me since my Rx's were transferred as part of the Marsh shutdown on N Kinser.

Sidewalk on the north side of roughly 11th Street where it meets Fairview Street completely blocked by vegetation. This is just southwest of the train bridge. Note that there are obstructions above ground level as well as at ground level. Note that there is further vegetation just around the corner closer to the train bridge. Thanks!

This is follow up on ureport #176835, covering the sidewalk just west and south of the train bridge at 11th and fairview. After 2 weeks without any progress from the city, I started doing it myself. I removed most of the large honeysuckle plants growing within 2-4 ft of the sidewalk. I removed the branches overhanging within 6.5ft of the sidewalk. As you can see in this picture, I shoveled the dirt off of the inner 1ft of the sidewalk, *and found the edge of the sidewalk* for the first time in decades!!! I did not complete the shoveling. I've put in about 3hrs labor at this site so far and anticipate another 1.5hrs before completion. It would be awesome if this kind of clearing happened at the numerous places where hillsides have collapsed onto sidewalks, often reducing effective width by 25-50%. should i finish shoveling this one or can someone in public works do it?

A big limb of a tree in the yard of 1219 E Maxwell Ln. is partially broken and draping over the side walk in front of the house next door. It’s blocking said sidewalk, and could hit people if they happened to pass under the limb when it completely breaks off from the tree.
