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.
Felled tree blocking portion of sidewalk at 601 S. Woodlawn Ave.
Tree blocking entire sidewalk on north side of Grimes. I might have placed it in wrong block, but it is mid-block.
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.
A tree from the median on College Mall Road close to Bloomington Hardware must have fallen and was dragged to the tree row/sidewalk below Windermere Wood. The tree needs to be picked-up whenever possible.
Overhanging branch and downed branch block sidewalk
E 2nd street at CVS/Goodwill. Damaged siderail blocking sidewalk.
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.
