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.

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 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.

There is no cut out to help those in wheel chairs. This should be an accessible sidewalk.

I'm not sure which service to report this under, but Deer Park Management has not been sufficiently taking care of leaf removal at The Boulders apartment complex. They hired a contractor, who just blew the leaves onto the curb/street/sidewalk, leaving some of the sidewalks covered in leaves (slippery when wet), and blocking storm drains in the street. I also noticed on the leaf pickup map that our neighborhood was marked as complete, but if you were to drive through, you would see that this isn't the case (S. Weatherstone Lane).

on walnut, between 3rd st and 4th st, in front of a law office (after firestone), there's a sunken-in sidewalk panel that floods when it rains, so then i have to walk around it in the mud. i have noticed this before, but this is the 1st time i am reporting it.

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!
