Tree blocking sidewalk at 1106 E Benson Ct
Tree blocking sidewalk at 1106 E Benson Ct
A tree between the road and sidewalk at 1002 E. Heather has two large branches (about 9 inch diameters) broken off. The branches are blocking the sidewalk and extending into the road. The remained of the tree may have to be removed also.
Tree branches fell on sidewalk.
When someone in a wheelchair approaches the Community Kitchen or the bus stop there, from Switchyard Park, they are met with an obstacle at the very last step. I know someone who uses a wheelchair, who lives in Switchyard Apts. To get to the Community Kitchen, or to that paticular bus stop, she can't just take the sidewalk on the East side of Rogers. The sidewalk ends right before the bridge (which is infuriating, in and of itself). She could go around, through the path in the park to get there, but then she would run into this issue, where there is no sidewalk, or slope from the Switchyard path to this bus stop, this section of sidewalk, and the community kitchen. Please repair it. It is a tiny patch of sidewalk, could have been done when all the switchyard paths were being built. Do it now. Thank you.
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.
Hello - as of 9:30 PM on May 31st, there's a very large tree limb that appears to have come down during today's storm that is completely covering the sidewalk and some of the street at the corner of Hillside and Palmer. I tried to move it but it's too large for one person. Thanks!
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?
