March 1, 2015. Last night a snow plow came only part way down our street (East Maplecrest Drive) as a result of a parked car. It then backed completely out and did not finish the rest of the street. This car has been parked in the same place for over 3 months. We need our street plowed. Please help.
Could the alley/connector at North Orris Drive, between 11th and Cottage Grove be ploughed? It always has been in the past, but wasn't after this last snow. Thank you!
I live at the corner of 14th and Woodburn. I have called the police 2x in the past month or so. about cars parking in the yellow which is kind of faded, but also where the sidewalk is for you to cross. if people are coming off the dead end hill of woodburn you cant see around if someone parks there, and with 14th street not having to stop and it being busy this is dangerous. Not to mention 3 school buses pick and drop kids off there. Some of the buses have to make the turn off left on to 14th street which makes it difficult for them if someone is parked there. I hate having to call the police everytime as they are busy I am sure. But its starting to be an everyday problem. I shouldn't have to go around a car just to get my kid on and off the bus when I am clearly in the cross walk area of the sidewalk. I would like to see the curb painted again, and maybe a no parking from here to corner since it is dangerous for us who are coming off the hill to see around. Also maybe an increase in patrol in this area to deter people from parking there. Thanks Ashley
This short connector sidewalk is becoming impassable due to overgrown vegetation. It is a really useful path to avoid biking up the hill on Winslow in traffic.
The sidewalk is covered by vegetation. It's extremely dangerous to ride bike since I have to get really close to the end of the sidewalk which was a steep drop off toward the incoming traffic.
This is a continuing problem at 601 S. Woodlawn (the address above is as close as I could get on your map). Two weeks ago two large dead trees were causing a hazard, dropping limbs. Trees are covered with vines but have been dead for a long time. They continue to drop dead limbs. There is also a bad patch of poison ivy near the sidewalk, creating yet another hazard.
Tree blocking entire sidewalk on north side of Grimes. I might have placed it in wrong block, but it is mid-block.
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.
The large section of the fir tree that blew down last Tuesday is blocking both the sidewalk and the entire southbound lane of Highland. This sidewalk is used by a lot of Winslow Farm residents who walk to the YMCA or trail around the park to the east of Highland. I've seen people walk into the street to get around the large tree section. I hope that will be removed soon. Highland gets a lot of traffic especially when there are events at the Winslow Sports Complex. Removal of the tree should be a high priority.
I'm not sure which service to report this under, but Deer Park Management has not been sufficiently taking care of leaf removal at The Boulders apartment complex. They hired a contractor, who just blew the leaves onto the curb/street/sidewalk, leaving some of the sidewalks covered in leaves (slippery when wet), and blocking storm drains in the street. I also noticed on the leaf pickup map that our neighborhood was marked as complete, but if you were to drive through, you would see that this isn't the case (S. Weatherstone Lane).
