Ticket 176182. Going on a month for a reply and trying to figure out how to reply to your questions.
Our house is on corner of Smith road and Stonegate Drive. The tree is too large for where it was planted on the City Easement. The roots are tearing up yard. The branches are large and hit cars parked on street and also impacts pedestrians using public sidewalk.
Thank you.

Excessive Growth:
Why has case #174610 still open (first reported on Febr. 1, 2021)? On E First Street: low hanging branches over the sidewalk. The address of the house, though, is 713 Clifton.Why cannot the home owner be told to cut back the long grasses and tree branches?

I'm very excited to see the new High Street multi path finally being developed, however I do have 2 concerns about the project.
First, access for our Sycamore Knolls neighborhood into the Jackson Creek Trail has been effectively cut off during construction, and there is really no safe way to bike to the trail with small children unless you ride on High Street. Better consideration should have been given to maintain pedestrian access after removing the existing sidewalk on High Street.
Second, it is disappointing that the trail will end at Arden. It would have been nice to see in continue north for another half mile to Marilyn/Covenanter, and connect into the existing Covenanter Greenway. That would have greatly expanding access for the Southeast side of town towards the B-Line trail utilizing this existing greenway.

The sidewalk on N Lincoln between 15th and 16th has been completely torn up by tree roots. It’s unsafe and unusable for someone with a wheelchair or stroller.

In this area lots of overgrowth growing on the sidewalk area. You can not see to get onto second street from the alley between 912 and 918 w 2nd. Plus trees are hanging low in that alley and scratching up cars. The sidewalk there needs some repairs done and really needs to be handicapped-accessible. The few will chairs that go through there have a really hard time getting over that. I'm sure there's many other places like that along that road.

At the Sherwood Oaks Park we need a short connecting paved path at the north end where the north/south path (almost) meets the east/west sector. When the gate is closed, pedestrians have to slog through mudpuddles or walk on slippery compacted snow to go from one paved trail to the other. Perhaps when you have equipment out there now repairing the flood damage on the NW corner, the crews could lay this small, but extremely helpful addition.

A big branch broke from the tree and is blocking the sidewalk. It is still attached to the tree.

I live at 2206 S Rockport Road in Bloomington. Our mailbox post is on the sidewalk, and needs to be replaced. I plan to hire a contractor to install a new post, which may require digging into the sidewalk to remove the old post and install the new one. Of course the contractor will do a proper patching job on the sidewalk. Do I need any special permission to proceed with this project? Many thanks.

Sidewalk needed. I walked from Peppergrass to Kroger. I had to walk in the street, S. Walnut St. Pike. Very dangerous
