The side path along the bypass is blocked by 2 traffic signs that take up the entire path.
Sidewalk across from ABA auto sales on E Wylie Street is blocked with furniture brought over from unhoused persons. Persons there after hours when the Shalom center closes. Should outreach come out as well for services?
There is a growing campsite on the north side of Wylie, not far from the intersection of S. Walnut, that is effectively making it impossible for some individuals with special needs to use the sidewalk there. This is not in a secluded area, but instead directly by a home in a residential area. This is a mixed issue. Not only is this campsite impeding foot travel, it is also against Bloomington policy by being an overnight campsite on public property.
The sidewalk on the north side of Moore's Pike by the AMC Theater is overgrown. Bushes nearly block the sidewalk and the grass is waist-high. I'm guessing that they have ceased caring for the property due to movie theaters being closed.
Firestone Auto at 3rd and Walnut constantly has vehicles parked on and blocking high traffic downtown sidewalks. This is almost a daily issue. Can the city start increasing enforcement at this location, and perhaps start towing vehicles left on the sidewalk over night?
Firestone auto 3rd and walnut has cars parked on the sidewalk.
Firestone Auto (3rd and Walnut) had multiple cars parked on and blocking the sidewalk over the weekend. This is happening on a constant basis (see the uReport history) and blocks the sidewalk along a downtown corridor. Can the city step up enforcement at this location to ensure the sidewalks are kept clear?
The connecting footpath between Greenwood Avenue and Southdowns is blocked by honeysuckle. My daughter was knocked off her bike yesterday. I have written to the council about this problem in previous years. Perhaps the honeysuckle could be cut back more significantly, or this could be put on a regular maintenance rotation? This is part of the 'safe routes to school' in the neighborhood, so trimming before the school start would be great. It's a quick job. Thank you!
On the south east corner of the intersection of Henderson St. and Brenda Ln the sidewalks around the bus stop have some very low hanging tree branches that obstruct clear passage along the sidewalk. It would be great to see this get trimmed back.
