Pothole is in the road near our mailbox. There has been some confusion this year about whether Bloomington is responsible for maintaining the road area in Winslow Farm that circles the islands. We got no snow removal during the snowfall after the first of the year. We have lived in our house since 2015, and the City has always plowed it in winter and filled holes.
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.
Last week my grandmother, Linda Gast, was walking near the Crescent Park Condos on John Hinkle Place across from the post office. She tripped on uneven sidewalk and fell and broke her arm. This break required an ED visit and surgery that included a metal plate and several screws. This sidewalk is near Bell Trace, where she lives, and a lot of older people are using the sidewalks in this area. We would really like to see some attention given to this sidewalk in order to prevent others from being injured.
Debris across the street from 710 W. 8th St. off of sidewalk.
Tree debris pick up. We don’t have much - it’s at the edge of the yard near the sidewalk.
Tree limbs, mostly unbagged, on driveway next to sidewalk. I will move them to the street if someone calls or emails me but the city seems to want them to remain on private property.
We have tree debris lined up between the sidewalk and road. Im working to make sure they are all cut down to 4 feet as per the info I’ve seen online. You can take it all.
Tree branches and limbs that came down on our fence during the storm. Have been brought up to the lawn area in front of the house between the sidewalk and street.
Fallen tree from the storm is completely blocking the sidewalk. Myself and several neighbors in the Southern Pines addition need to use this sidewalk to safely get to the city bus stop at County View Apartments. This impacts both safety and accessibility for pedestrians.
Tree/limb pick-up due to the storm. Pick-up pile is located in the front on our property between neighbor to the south. The pile is located on our side of the sidewalk due to space issues closer to the road as we are still not able to move a vehicle that was damaged due to this debris. If it's helpful, please utilize our driveway to get a little closer to the pile. Feel free to call the number provided in advance. Thank you.
