We are wondering if the E/W stretch of concrete between 707 N. Lincoln and 711 N. Lincoln is an alley (public thoroughfare) or a driveway (private property). If the former, the resident/tenant at 707 has blocked passage through it with stones and a basketball court. We have assumed for a long time that this is actually an alley and would like to be able to walk down this stretch, but if it is indeed private property we would like that made clear so that we not trespass.
House appears to be vacant and in disrepair. Completely overgrown.
please add a traffic signal here this can be a dangerous intersection. a traffic signal here will aid the city bus (route 6 and 6L) in making its runs and traffic flow for cars, bikes and pedestrian's.
Front yard overgrown with weeds (over 12"). Pampas grass in tree plot was trimmed a few weeks ago but is now obstructing sidewalk again.
Ever since the city installed curb bump-outs for on-street parking some years ago, drivers have been blowing out tires and ruining wheel hubs at the southeast corner of Maxwell Lane and South Fess, usually as they are driving south on Fess and turning east onto Maxwell. I know this issue has come up before, and various solutions have been tried, but something more substantive needs to happen -- either reduce the projection of the curb or get rid of the bump-out altogether. I would estimate 15-20 drivers a year hit this curb. Yesterday, it happened twice. One driver was lucky and just blew out a tire. The second had to call a tow truck, which we see over and over again. Each driver thinks he/she is the only one to do this, so they don't think to tell the city. Please do something to fix this problem. It's costing people time and money on a regular basis. Thanks!
Trash and recycling has been blocking sidewalk for a week and now is being blown up and down the street.
Grass and weeds over 2 feet tall at old hospital properties.
Tree on property is growing out across sidewalk at a height well below 8 feet, impeding pedestrian access.
The electrical pit is missing lid and the light post base needs removed. This is right in front of a Bloomington city bus stop on 730 N Walnut St
