The tenant leaves their trash can on the sidewalk all week long, obstructing pedestrian traffic.
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.
Plants, bushes etc. blocking sidewalks so that pedestrians must go out into the street to pass this property.

Tree limbs are growing across the sidewalk at heights well below 8 feet on both the Hawthorne and 2nd St. faces of this process, impeding pedestrian access.
On the north side of Grimes the sidewalk is blocked by a tree branch hanging down and touching the ground. I had to go out into the street to get around. This was west of Henderson, and I think it was a little east of Palmer.
