There is a detour sign in the middle of the sidewalk at the NE corner of Walnut and Second. It creates an obstacle for people with disabilities. Please tell your employees and contractors not to obstruct sidewalks. It happens a lot.

The sidewalk in front of the Bloomington Thrift Store is still covered with ice, 23 days after the snow stopped falling. They cleared their parking lot well but did nothing to the sidewalk. And there’s a deep puddle just a bit east of there, on the north side of the overpass in front of the old motorcycle store, now closed. The puddle is at least four inches deep. I hope the city learns from this recent heavy snow to do a better job at clearing paths for all, but I am not confident.
This photo shows a parking spot designated for ramp van vehicles that has been used as a place to pile snow, making it impossible for vans to park there. This is on the upper level of parking for College Mall.
This photo shows a parking spot designated for ramp van vehicles that has been taken over via large pile of gravel, dumped in the spot, making it impossible for vans to park there. This is on the south side of Target.

More than a week after the snow stopped, I encountered many terrible sidewalks today. Just a few: west side of Rogers, between Kirkwood and 4th, around Regions bank on Kirkwood and Rogers, in front of the Gables house, along the Indian restaurant at the corner of Sixth and Walnut and from the steakhouse to the trail on 6th street. Also, can you please, please require that the sidewalk be cleared to the street? Often, the sidewalks are decent, but then you have to climb over a slippery mound at the corner as you approach oncoming traffic. Definitely a hazard. Please do better. Thank you.
The sidewalks along Basswood Drive haven't been shoveled. If this is a city issue, than please do it. If it's due to apartments lining the street, cite them!
