Car blocking sidewalk at 14th st an Woodburn Ave. I get my preschool son on the bus here, and it’s horrible that I have to walk around cars parked here just to put him on the bus. Please check it out. Thanks.

I believe the City has forgotten about W. Smith Ave. between S. Madison and S. Morton. For the past two years the street hasn't been plowed by city trucks after snows, and hasn't been treated for icing (evening of Feb 17, 2022 for example). I have lived in this spot for 20+ years, and feel confident something has changed. I attach a picture showing Smith (to the right) and Morton (forground). You can clearly see the ice treatment on Morton but nothing on Smith. Could I ask you to look into this for us? I am, btw, the president of the HOA whose condos live in this area. We have been paying a private contractor to plow the snow on the street, in addition to our own spaces. The city trucks are far more effective, to be honest. ;-) Thank you.

At 4219 Deckard Dr. in Eastern Heights, there is a small blue Mazda which daily is parked facing the wrong way in front of this house, despite a very wide and accessible driveway a few feet away. This parking causes MCCSC buses, City of Bloomington Snow and Salt trucks, and neighborhood traffic to dodge hazardously around this car on a regular basis. It would be a good thing if the owner could be advised and encouraged to park in a manner that does not inconvenience the rest of the community. Thank you.

Water draining across the yard and down the sidewalk at 1220 E Hunter. It was spewing out intermittently Wednesday morning (Feb 23 2022). Is that a violation of municipal code 12.04.020 - Discharge of water on sidewalk? It is unlawful for any person owning or controlling any building in the city adjacent to an improved sidewalk to permit water to run from a downspout attached to such building onto and over such sidewalk. (Prior code § 23-4). It was likely to freeze and make walking hazardous. Thank you.

Responded... Hi Nick. First of all, thanks for submitting this uReport. The more folks that say something about it, the better. Second, I know this person and his mother is actually the chair of the Council for Community Accessibility. While neither have directly complained about this issue it has been on our radar as other people have seen him try to navigate that stretch of Smith Road. So I went out and did a full survey from 3rd to 10th Streets and reported every issue along that route. Then I participated in a discussion about it with the Engineering and Planning. It's not so easy to address this one because it's very narrow and can't be widened. It would also be fairly costly to do the whole route. But we have placed it on the sidewalk priority list that was submitted to Planning departments for their next round of sidewalk construction. We won't know how that very limited budget gets spent for a while, but sure hope it includes addressing this one. So that's where we stand on it. Fingers are crossed! It's folks like you who call this out that might make it happen sooner versus later. So thank you! Michael (staff liaison to the Council for Community Accessibility)
