Hello, On our property at 3706 South Court, sits a very large Bradford Pear tree. The tree is close the curb next to the street and I was told by a landscaping company, it was probably most likely owned by the city of Bloomington. It has lifted our sidewalk significantly as well as part of our driveway. This is a liability issue because many children ride bikes, scooters,sevreal people walk their dogs etc around there and could easily not pay attention and trip and fall. Someone from this department really needs to come out and assess the situation. You are welcome to call me or email. Thank you. Jane Mehrizi

Upended sidewalk on 2nd street, especially on south side of 2nd at corner of Ballantine, but also further west on 2nd. As elderly people, we find this absolutely treacherous! Sorry we can't send a photo; we have "dumb" phones. Thank you!

Hoping that the bushes that impede into the alleys can be trimmed back again now that summer is ending. The alley just east of Woodlawn Ave heading to south to Hunter is the worst offender, but the alley going east from Woodlawn to Faculty could use some trimming also. They all tend to scratch the car as we navigate through those alleys on a daily basis. Additionally, there are some bushes on the south end of the Subway building that block half of the sidewalk so that you can't see to pull out south on Woodlawn until the front of the car is already into the northbound lane, but more importantly, they block the view of pedestrians walking south until they are walking out into the alley and into the path of cars coming out of the alley onto Woodlawn. I've asked the manager inside Subway who said he cared for the landscaping and he said he'd talk to the building managers. I've also called the building managers and discussed the issue with them and nothing has improved.

There is a very uneven crack in the sidewalk in front of The Bishop just up from the corner of 4th and Walnut, sort of in front of the tree that was removed. Last night I was walking up the sidewalk and fell on all fours because of the crack. Luckily I didn't break my already repaired wrist to which I am still paying medical expenses and only escaped with a cut knee. When I sat down, a woman mentioned that while visiting The Bishop, she sits in their outside seating area and sees people trip over this crack countless times. Upon hearing that, I too remembered seeing a woman fall on all fours in the same spot. Clearly, this is a hazard that should be looked at and taken care of. Thank you.

Some landscaping work was recently done at this property, and the dump truck that delivered the rocks cracked the sidewalk, leaving it uneven.

I believe the underground roots of a city planted oak tree are destroying the sidewalk in front of my house, also causing large cracks in my driveway entrance....numerous people have tripped and fallen on this sidewalk, which has gotten worse this past year....this is a heavily traveled sidewalk on the way to RCA Community Park and has created an unsafe situation...Please contact me to see if this can be safely repaired...than you, Dave Reid 812-363-3049

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.

For many years, kids have had problems walking to Rogers/Binford Elementary School on the south side of the sidewalk on E 1st St, just before High Street. There is an unused driveway to an empty lot, which is a pool of mud in wet weather. Neighbors have pointed this out to the council before. Neighbors have also come up with their own solutions - putting down boards, etc. I heard a school parent yesterday saying he planned to fill it in with gravel or cement because he had not had a response from the council. Might it be possible for you to repair this gap in the sidewalk permanently? Thank you!
