Blocked Sidewalk

540 S Basswood DR

Case Date:
5/15/2017

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.

Trails

Case Date:

on the b line trail, on the east side just south of lamp post 7, there is a piece of rebar sticking up about 1" out of the gravel. This is a hazard. I expect you could use a small sledge and a punch of sorts to push it well below the surface. Mike

Trash

320 E 7th ST

Case Date:
5/16/2017

I'm contacting you because this morning at my residence, 213 N Grant St, we received a notice of violation for BMC 6.04.070. Before seeing this notice on our front door, my roommate found that someone had ripped open our trash bags and left that trash all over our yard. This is by far from the first time this has happened. Since August, we have had issues with people ripping open our trash. These people have become comfortable enough to leave their own trash in our yard, even including used needles. This situation has gotten out of hand. On this occasion they ripped open separate bags inside our trash bags that contained trash from our bathroom, leaving used feminine products strewn across our yard. The comment on our notice said to remove all trash from our yard. My roommates and I in between classes today, have been picking up this trash all morning. We will be contacting other departments because this issue of trespassing on our property has gotten out of hand, even after contacting law enforcement. I wanted to bring it to this department's attention that our house is not causing this mess.

Parks & Playgrounds

1810 S Montclair AVE

Case Date:

Southeast Park is beautiful but there are two trees in the easement on the way around the bend from Montclair heading south then west on Arden that hang out over the road. If you stay in our lane on the curve coming on to Arden at the park by the baseball diamond, you're going to clip both trees. Could they be trimmed back a bit in the road area? Thank you so much.

Debris Removal (Sand, General Street Debris)

Case Date:
5/16/2017

North Margie Court in Union Valley Farms Subdivision. Court is still covered with sand from the winter months. While I appreciate the sand being put down for the winter, I'd also expect it to be removed after the weather clears, all this should be taken care of by my tax dollars. Above that, young children are now riding their bikes throughout the development. It would be a shame for one of them to wipe out on this sand and be severely injured.

Trash

Case Date:
5/17/2017

If my trash is now considered a utility why are the containers not on display on Miller Drive? This is where the form needs to be returned to. Is it that hard to have them on display where the homeowner needs to return the form. And, parking is much simpler at that location.
