This house had a tree blow over in a storm last week. The tree that blew over is blocking the public city sidewalk forcing me to walk in the street. Regardless of who does or does not own this property, this needs to be addressed as it is not only unsafe, but it also makes our neighborhood look bad.
Since this building is no longer a garage, it seems that a full curb should be installed to prevent people from pulling up on the sidewalk. There are constantly cars parked on the sidewalk here (several feet in past the yellow painted curb (which is flattened because it used to be a garage). I asked the tenants to stop, and then today a dumpster showed up on the sidewalk. This is the North side of the "FAR" gallery building at fourth and rogers. Obviously this is frustrating to me but it's probably pretty annoying for the kid in a wheelchair who i see going back and forth to school and having to cross the street to get around.
Overgrown sidewalk at the corner of High and Second Street.
low hanging tree branches and bushes blocking sidewalk. one branch looks dangerous.
Excessive growth onto the sidewalk, not able to pass and stay on the sidewalk. This spot is the northwest side of the lot, same problem on northeast side.
trees are overgrown blocking the sidewalk leading into Mills Pool
The handicap ramp on the sidewalk leading into the entrance to mills pool is not safe for handicap people. The concrete is not level and cracked in several places
Between houses 1210 and 1212 on South Lincoln Street, there is a section of pavement that has buckled and is allowing runoff to wash out the soil under the road and sidewalk. The size is approximately 16" X 36". It is located directly off of the curb, and near the driveway for 1212 South Lincoln St.
To Whom It May Concern! I wanted to say thank you to the Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department for trimming the low hanging branches on the two very large Oak trees near the entrance to Mills Pool off of Blair Ave. They not only look amazing, but its so much easier to access the park area under and around the trees when walking my dog. I know its much easier for the pool customers to use the sidewalk as well as get to their cars when parked along the curb on the exit of the main parking area. So, thank you. I'm asking and suggesting that the same tree limb pruning be done on the four very large Oak trees on the south end of the park area on the corner of Blair and Dyer. I, as a homeowner on Blair Ave. along with other residents use this area to walk our dogs and other outdoor activities. These branches are a hindrance to not only our enjoyment of the area, but to the city employee's who mow the park area. I've watched them navigate the low hanging branches so they don't get hit in the face and have to bend all the way over so their head is near their feet on the mower pedals just to mow the area. This seems very dangerous for them and I'm concerned for their safety as well as the overall ease of use for the area. Would you please consider pruning those limbs up just as you had done on the two trees to the north of the property. If you can do this and possibly while your at it, there is a very large yew right in front of the pool that had 3/4 of it removed last year. It's now a 1/4 of a living yew with nothing but weeds growing around it because it can't be mowed. This seems not only unsightly to the overall ambiance of the area, but really just dosen't look that good making the approach to Mills Pool rather uninviting. I did leave a voicemail with the Natural Resources Coordinator regarding this issue and had not heard anything. It's possible a plan is in place and I mention this so you can coordinate with that department. Once again, thank you for taking care of the two trees on the north end. They are truly majestic and make our community park and pool look magnificent. Gratefully! Mike Stribling mikestribling@hotmail.com 812-964-0846
There are 3 locations along the north side of 10th st between Walnut and Dunn where vegetation is overhanging the sidewalk and making it hard to use the sidewalk.
