Lyft/Bird e bike left in front of wheelchair ramp blocking sidewalk making it impossible for the visually impaired, wheelchairs, canes, walkers, baby trollies, families holding hands with toddlers, grocery carts, etc to access sidewalk. While, yes, carrying nothing I can step around, I am speaking up for neighbors who cannot, and because this isn't an instance of just one sidewalk being blocked, but constantly walking around town and seeing multiple blocked sideways because of these rental scooters and bikes. Often, the people hired to charge them like to leave them in auspicious places while ignoring the needs of disabled community members or those who need full access to ramps and sidewalks. These neighbors could fall trying to steer into the grass or mud. Not sure how a city like Bloomington is supposed to regulate something like this. Been an epidemic ever since they were introduced, and those delivery bots around campus also expect people to just go around. They just stop in the middle of the sidewalk delivering Chipotle or whatever flashing 8-bit heart-shaped eyes at you like, "Go around me!" Well, some friends and Bloomington neighbors literally can't. [end rant] Thank you, HAND and city of Bloomington. Let's keep our town safe and civil.

Sidewalk along Weimer Road is getting covered in overgrown trees and brush really bad. Screenshot of map shows area better than map here. Would be greatly appreciated if someone could get this area cleared for walking :)

The sign, tire pieces, and tall grass are blocking the sidewalk. Pedestrians have to climb over or walk out into the rod to get around the clutter. This situation has been there for over a couple of weeks now.

Handrails to an apartment building protrude onto the sidewalk. My last report received some bs response that it was required by building code and I'll make a side bet that the building code does not allow intrusions into the sidewalk. So I'm complaining again and looking for the correct response, which is not to ignore this situation. I would also note that similar handrails on the interior drives of this development do NOT encroach on their private spaces as they do onto this public sidewalk.

This part of the temporary fence fell down and blocked the temporary walkway. I got it balanced precariously but this whole section is in need of more stability. The sandbags seem to be washed away, perhaps add new ones?
