Sidewalk Requests

101-199 E Sunny Slopes Dr, Bloomington, Indiana, 47401

Case Date:
3/15/2019

Hello, We live in the Echo Park community (2780 S. Walnut St. Pk.). We basically do not have safe walking access to the nearby Winslow Street. Families and the elderly risk their lives walking on the side of the asphalt, at a pretty dagerous intersection (cars do not have good sight when they turn to this street). Adding a short sidewalk would solve this problem. See picture attached (the problematic area is marked in red). It is a tragedy waiting to happen. Thank you.

Debris Removal

1024 S Graywell DR

Case Date:
3/16/2019

On Thursday March 14, part of this tree came down at 1024 S. Graywell drive due to the strong winds. I reported this thru this system, was notified that the case was assigned to Danna Workman and then I received a notice on March 15, Friday, that the case was closed by Chris Axom and that the debris had been removed. That is 100% not the case. This tree is still down, is still blocking part of the road, is still laying in the common space and is STILL blocking the sidewalk.

Unsafe Buildings

400 N Adams ST

Case Date:
3/16/2019

On the bridge over Patterson Dr. on the B-Line there are 4 square B-line steel signs. In the recent winds, one of these has come loose and become bent. If there is more wind, which there will as it is almost spring, the remaining two connections may also become loose. It appears to me that the screws mounting the sign to the structure are not long enough. The sign then blowing and dropping makes for a very unsafe situation as it is 15 feet above the ground, sidewalk and road.

Line of Sight

SUBWAY

Case Date:
3/21/2019

Woodlawn, alley between the Subway/apartment building and rental house. Shrubs block all traffic visibility. Pulling out onto Woodlawn, you can't see what's coming from the right/heading south. Not even pedestrians on the sidewalk can be seen. Dangerous to pull out here since you pull out blindly not knowing what's coming, but also very dangerous for pedestrians (and bikers/scooters) because we can't see them coming when we pull out. There is an IU parking lot in this alley, so it's used daily by several people who say a little prayer for safety every time they have to leave work from this location. This has been reported by colleagues more than once, but the building owner has never taken any action. Not even so much as to trim the shrubs back. In our opinion, the shrubs should be removed completely. Even by trimming, pedestrians still would not be visible.

Blocked Sidewalk

E Rogers Rd, Bloomington, Indiana, 47401

Case Date:
3/24/2019

I originally reported an issue with the High Street sidewalk on the northeast corner of the High/Winslow roundabout last summer. The sidewalk in this area is being heavily encroached with vines from the neighboring property. It is extremely difficult to navigate this section safely with young kids walking to the Jackson Creek trail, as the vines are pushing you out towards the roadway. Can this please be cleaned up for this summer? This was originally reported on July 23, 2018 as case # 165250.

Blocked Sidewalk

S High St, Bloomington, Indiana, 47401

Case Date:
3/24/2019

The sidewalk along Rogers from High St to reach the crosswalk to enter the goat farm park is always partially blocked by overgrown bushes. It seems fine if you’re walking by yourself but if you are pushing a stroller or using a wheelchair or bicycle or someone is coming the other way, it is generally necessary to step off the sidewalk to negotiate the turns

Blocked Sidewalk

501 N Morton ST

Case Date:
3/28/2019

The scooters that were blocking the sidewalk yesterday in front of Runcible Spoon were just moved over a bit towards the old Boxcar Books. They're still blocking the sidewalk. Forwarding these cases to Lime for resolution doesn't actually resolve the underlying problem.
