Blocked Sidewalk
Wylie Farm Rd
- Case Date:
- 7/9/2025
On the north side of E Wylie Farm Rd between S Bayberry Dr and S Azalea Lane there is a wooden walkway within the 50' right-of-way that is very overgrown with Trees of Heaven and a lot of other plants. It is to the point where people are breaking off the tops of the trees in order to get through that part of the walkway. These are invasive plants and the City should do a better job at eliminating them or at least cutting them back. The Google streetview photo of that location dated July 2023 is attached along with current photos that show how the trees and other plants are taking over the walkway and that the tops of some of the trees have been broken off so that pedestrians can pass here. Please clear the area along this side of E Wylie Farm Rd as soon as possible. Thank you.

IRT U-Report 204012. the trash is located on city property at the intersection of E. Sheridan Drive and S. Ballantine. Did the inspector look at all four corners of the intersection????? I would have to guess not, as the garbage is still there!! Please take a second and look and do a more thorough inspection. Thank you.

The sidewalk has a severe depression that collects rain (and ice in the winter), often to a depth of 3 or 4 inches. The problem started last year immediately after the area was reconstructed with new grass on either side. Someone did not think about the consequences of building grass higher than the level of a sidewalk that is not level.

These vehicles are abandoned. Or someone has claimed the street as their private junkyard with abandoned vehicles. Can these vehicles be removed? If they are allowed to stay, could you share information about why? I appreciate your time, thank you!
Parking on Unimproved Surface

There are many abandoned vehicles parked here. Many are on an unimproved surface. This seems to be a violation of unimproved surface parking, abandoning vehicles, and using the street as a junkyard. Can these vehicles be fined and removed?

In mid June there was heavy storm damage on my property. Insurance company involved. A utility pole had to be replaced, but there are still a lot of cables on my property: in my fence, hanging from my trees, in my yard south of the fenced in area. My understanding is that the cables are Comcast (according to AT&T). I have contacted Comcast multiple times and filed a complaint against them with the attorney general this afternoon.
When Duke came to replace the utility pole they didn't remove all of the metal security cables. They also didn't fill in the area around the pole enough. There is a big hole next to the new pole. There are exposed wires on it as well. Basically, it looks like an electrical hazard and it has kept me from cleaning up the tree that fell, do yard work, spend time with my family & dog in the backyard due to potential danger.
I know this isn't an issue with City of Bloomington to address, but if you could help or advise on how to expedite the cable cleanup and make sure the utility poles are secure, straight, and that all surrounding wires are high enough on the poles I would really appreciate it. I'm kind of at a loss as to who else I should contact to get this stuff taken care of. Thanks!

There was a motorcycle accident on west 3rd and Yancy today at 345 pm. It is very difficulty to make a left onto Yancy from West 3rd heading east as you pass Wynnedale to make a left onto Yancy. There is no place to pull off and its extremely difficulty to see oncoming traffic due to the trees blocking your view to oncoming traffic

Some of the stone wall on the south side has been pushed down. West of the driveway. I hope it can be repaired. Thanks!!

Redbud branching low out over the sidewalk. I was expecting it to be bush honeysuckle, but it isn't.
