Vegetation overgrowth. Makes this sidewalk impassable because it's a sticker bush.
Blocked sidewalk. The overgrowth from 810 W 7th is blocking the sidewalk along 7th street and partially blocking the alley entrance.
There is a sign advertising an AirBnB rental attached to a tree on the property at 813 Kirkwood Ave. The tree is one of two on either side of the alley next to the property, and is located on the berm between the street and the sidewalk, and so appears to be in the city's Right of Way. As far as I understand it, this signage is in violation of the Bloomington Municipal Code, Title 12 (Streets, Sidewalks, and Storm Drains), Chapter 24.080 (Trees and Flora), Ord. 08-06 ยง 2 (part), 2008) - Prohibited actions, which states "(2) No person shall do any of the following to trees subject to these provisions: (b) Attach any wires, nails, chains, cables, advertising posters or any other contrivance" I would appreciate it if the city removed this sign and prevented such actions by the landlord in the future.
Y'all ever going to clean up the overgrowth and trash all over this sidewalk? Can't barely see, and since there's a homeless camp right next to it which you all won't bother to clean up either, it's become dangerous to even use this sidewalk.
The intersection of 11 and Forrest currently is a three way stop. I would prefer if this was a 4 way stop. I frequently travel between the buildings on the NE and the SW corners. It would also be helpful to have stop-lines/cross walk lines once construction is finished in the SE block.
This vault installation is not working. Location: ROW of N Jackson St, just south of the SW corner of N Jackson and W 13th. Vault installer (per plaque on the vault): Hoosier Fiber Networks. First, the pea gravel is not a great choice for fill in the ROW. I am pretty sure this is supposed to be a vegetated tree plot. Second, the fill is eroding away, leaving deep holes in the ROW. Please make Hoosier Fiber Networks fix it. Thank you!
There are two bushes along N Woodlawn Ave (but one in particular that I am singling out in this complaint) that is growing over onto the sidewalk. It takes up about half the sidewalk and requires people to step onto the road verge when passing another person.
Intersection of 8th and Woodlawn is in desperate need of a marked/lighted crosswalk or even a stop sign. It is very dangerous to cross as a pedestrian because traffic simply does not stop for you.
Several years ago stop signs were briefly installed on 10th at Smith and it was wonderful. Then they were pulled and we never try to make a left on 10th from Smith because it's just too dangerous. Would really love a light here. But stopsigns would be awesome.
