Dead tree in City ROW along Washington Street.
I am writing to report a broken tree limb that poses a safety concern. It appears that the limb was damaged during the storm we experienced at the end of March 2023. The tree in question is located on city land outside of my property boundary at 1301 W. 8th Street in Bloomington. The broken limb is specifically situated at the intersection of Adams Street and 8th Street, where there is a significant amount of pedestrian traffic. The footpath visible in the attached picture is frequently used by pedestrians crossing from the sidewalk on Adams Street onto 8th Street. The presence of the broken tree limb in this area creates a potential safety hazard for pedestrians. Additionally, there is a slight concern that the broken limb obstructs the view of the Adams Street bridge for drivers turning right onto Adams Street from Fountain. This obstruction may affect the visibility of oncoming traffic, potentially leading to traffic incidents or delays. I kindly request that the relevant department of Bloomington takes immediate action to address this issue. It is crucial to ensure the safety of pedestrians and motorists in the area by removing the broken tree limb and conducting any necessary tree maintenance or inspection. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. Should you require any additional information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at. I appreciate your efforts in maintaining the safety and well-being of our community.
tree limbs broken and hanging low over parking area on the street. One limb is down and along the side of the road.
Fallen tree
Vegetation in trees from this property are hanging over N. Walnut St. so when you try to exit from East Gilbert Drive, you cannot possibly see the traffic to the north. Needs to be cut back
Honey locust in City ROW is stressed/diseased/dying. The Highpoint Neighborhood Association paid Less Huss to have this tree planted a few years ago. Is there something that can be done to save it? If a watering issue, neighbors can attend to that, but it's not clear if that is indeed the issue.
There’s a bush on the property of 2127 E 5th St (at the corner of 5th and Jefferson St) that obstructs motorists’ view when turning north onto Jefferson St from 5th St. Since this intersection does not contain a 4-way stop sign, there have been several times I have almost gotten into a collision with an oncoming vehicle going south when making that turn simply because I cannot see them around that bush.
Tree on north side 5th midway between S. Bryan and S. Jefferson has a broken limb hanging down over the street. It also has several low hanging branches over the road that impede high sided delivery vehicles.
See the picture. Location is 5th st btw Jefferson and Bryan. There is a utility line in that mess as well.
Tree on the corner of Lincoln and the alley between First United Methodist church and Graduate hotel has several large dead limbs (widow makers) and one limb has dropped on the sidewalk missing a parked car.
