In front on the Elkins Apartments, just north of the train bridge, a tree limb has fallen and brought down a wire with it. I think the wire was only connected to the two street lights here. I suspect the lights won't work and I know the sidewalk is impeded.
Raw sewage from cleanout all over between sidewalk and street. This has happened sporadically for years, but several times in the last month.
Raised valve cover in sidewalk creating trip hazard.
The reflective signs designating the runoff/curb/flower boxes on Allen Street are white. They completely disappear in the snow. Several cars have driven into and over the curbs. Large yellow/green/red signs are needed to make these less hazardous.

To Whom It May Concern, this is more of a recommendation than an problem. The pedestrian/bike crossing light on Allen St across Walnut is generally pretty good. Currently, there is a button to activate the lights on the sidewalks and wanted to suggest installing an additional button curbside for bikers. As it's currently constructed the median has two cut-outs so bicyclists can stay in the road (which is where we should be), but activating the light requires we ride up on the sidewalk. Most bikers, myself included, just keep an eye on the road to cross once traffic passes rather than hop the curb to activate the crossing light. The problem arises when a driver decides to yield; it's a nice gesture, but with two lanes of traffic in both directions it isn't safe to cross unless drivers in both lanes decide to yield and it's difficult to see over the stopped car to make sure the second lane is clear. I tend to wave the driver who has yielded to indicate they should just keep going, Bloomington drivers being Bloomington drivers they defer to being polite. A button positioned for bicyclists would make it clearer to both drivers and cyclists when it is safe to cross. This crossing point gets a fair amount of pedestrian and cycle traffic, but I don't think it is enough for a button to disrupt car flow on Walnut.
A substantial tree limb grows Across the sidewalk on the Maple street side of the property at about 5 1/2 above the ground. It’s a real hazard!!
There are holes in our line: one under the sidewalk, one under the street. They need to be fixed ASAP (we discovered the holes when a plumber was clearing a major clog the holes caused) and we need to know whose responsibility it is to take care of the issues under the road/sidewalk. The estimated cost of repair is incredibly high, and we're trying to find out what options/assistance might be available. Thank you for any information you can provide!
I don't know how many people have to report this vehicle as being left, unmoved and unregistered for the past 2 years. I know at least 2 neighbors have reported it and it's still sitting there. White Aurora, maybe an Oldsmobile? License plate expired in July 2019 and it's not moved since that before that time. The woman who owns the car has MULTIPLE other cars that she's driving but hasn't touched that one in the two years it's been sitting there. The bumper hangs over and blocks the sidewalk, the snowplows have to work around it because it never gets moved. They've plowed the snow up behind it which makes it difficult to see around. WHY is this vehicle still here???
Grass/Weeds needed cut, you can barely walk on the sidewalk section that's there.
