Sidewalk impassible in front of old water treatment plant on S Walnut across from Royal (west side of street.
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.
As of about 3pm today an I-69 sign on the west side of Rogers was bent over blocking the side multi-use path. It is on Rogers just north of Country Club / Tapp.
How long until this sidewalk is repaired to be usable? The CBU hazard marker has been here for months.
Sidepath running along the north side of Rogers is overgrown with weeds, including several prominent patches of poison ivy. Most of the problem areas are near the bridge over Jackson Creek. This hasn't been cleaned up at all this summer. Is the City responsible for keeping this cleared?
The multi-use trail on the north side of Rogers road has significant plant overgrowth. At some points, the ten foot path has only four feet of usable width due to the overgrowth. The bushes need to be cut back and the edges of the path need to be cleared. This is on Rogers Rd beginning at the crosswalk roundabout intersection with High St and extending about 350-400 feet east. Thank you!
They cut down the tree and left it on the sidewalk. As neighbors, We need to walk on the street because there is no space on the sidewalk. This is dangerous for the cars.
Path/sidewalk along north side of Rogers (between High and Winding Brook Circle) is substantially overgrown, reducing effective width by almost 50% in places. There is a good amount of poison ivy included. This is a recurring problem that needs to be permanently addressed. I've reported this issue multiple times over the past couple summers. If this is city's responsibility could it be a regularly scheduled maintenance item?
Sidewalk along North side of East Rogers still overgrown with vegetation, including poison ivy. Does the city have any plans to clean this up?
