Smith Avenue bike lane filled with gravel; between Walnut and Washington. Most of the gravel is near the Smith/Washington intersection. It looks like the gravel is constantly washing out from the adjacent gravel parking lot.
The problem exists at the intersection of E. Arden Dr. and S. High St. There is a 4 way stop there. People driving on High St. regularly run this stop sign, even when there is a car on Arden Dr. that has the right of way. There have been many close calls there. This is also an intersection where families and children cross High St. on their way to Southeast Park. Something needs to be done to discourage cars from running the stop sign on High St. before someone gets hurt.
Fix the bike routes we have! Placing patch over a patch over another patch might be good for cars, but it make biking dangerous. The stretch of Highland between the Y and Winslow are already very dangerous because of speeding cars and poor visibility around bends in road. Add poor road conditions and this makes biking very dangerous. Someone is going to get killed.
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.
Crabapple tree branches have grown over and down onto the sidewalk in front of the home at 1700 E. Camby Lane. Residents are unable to walk on the sidewalk beneath / next to the tree, and must move into the roadway.
The sidewalk on the west side of the street along Basswood Drive has multiple low hanging trees and bushes blocking the path from being used. It is particularly bad between the two Forest Ridge complexes, and can get bad on the east side of the street as well. Thank you.
Large city tree branch down on sidewalk and yard and rotted.
They have a large trampoline in their front yard that is on the public sidewalk.
Sidewalk is pretty much completely blocked by vegetation. Students use that sidewalk to reach the bus stops and are forced to walk in the street.
