Sidewalk along North side of East Rogers still overgrown with vegetation, including poison ivy. Does the city have any plans to clean this up?

I've reported this multiple times now over the past couple months. Sidewalk along North side of East Rogers is still overgrown with vegetation, including poison ivy. At this point this has been an issue all summer. Grounds crew were out mowing and cleaning up on south High recently, but they stopped short of cleaning this section up on Rogers. To clarify, this is the sidewalk/multiuse path that runs along the north side or Rogers Road, between High up to Winding Brook Circle.
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?
After the storm went through on Sunday 6/23, we noticed runners and walkers were having trouble getting through on the sidewalk behind our house along Rogers Rd. Upon investigation, we found that a tree/bush next to the road had broken in the storm and was blocking the sidewalk. We cleared the debris from the sidewalk and moved it into the grassy area in between the sidewalk and the road. I would like to see the debris removed and that bush/tree trimmed. Please warn whomever works there that there may be poison ivy (I seem to have gotten it, likely from that.)

Tree branches blocking sidewalk on walk to work. 305 S. Rogers St.
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.

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.
