We recently had a tree removed from the spot shown, as well as having a tree trimmed on the other side of our driveway. The tree that was removed was rotted out as it was deemed unsafe. We moved to this location in 2019 with a new baby on the way. Fast forward 2 years and just after the tree was removed by the City of Bloomington, our now 2 y/o plays in front of our house and has now fallen multiple times because of the drop off on the sidewalk due to the tree roots that have lifted the sidewalk. Additionally, small animals have now made this area their home. This is the same problem on the opposite side of our driveway by the electrical boxes due to overgrown root systems of trees that were frankly too large to plant in there specific spots.The lift in the sidewalk from the tree roots has caused a major trip/fall hazards that are at least a 6in drop. Please advise.
The sidewalk / side path that runs through the South East park near the tennis courts is substantially below grade of the adjacent Moores Pike roadway. I walk through here on a daily basis, often with small children, and it feels a bit dangerous when cars are zooming by. Has the city considered a guardrail or other physical separation here?
Sidewalk ends at creek, forcing pedestrians to cross busy road with no crosswalk or walk on the road. With Switchyard Park, pedestrian traffic is now much higher. Sidewalk needs to be continuous here.
Will the improvements to E 2nd Street include installing sidewalk to fill the gap between 1935 E 2nd and 2000 E 2nd Street? This gap is a barrier to accessibility for pedestrians on this street.
It is great to see that Public Works is currently installing ADA-compliant ramps between E 2nd Street and High Street. Is it also part of ADA compliance to complete the missing sidewalk to the west of 2000 E 2nd St?
These people have spreaded their leaves all over the sidewalk instead of putting them on the street and they get in peoples shoes and make them uncomfortable
The map is showing this incorrect - it is the light blue house (https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1163-S-Weatherstone-Ln_Bloomington_IN_47401_M41122-50728), not the tan house. There are 5-6 cars parked at this house most of the time and they park blocking the sidewalk. This house is an airbnb home. We are a residential community, thus there should only be 3 people or 1 family living in this home.
Public sidewalk is obstructed by tree and flora overgrowth. Not pruned to 8 ft for sidewalk, not pruned to 15 ft for street.
Tree limbs and overgrowth are growing into the public utility lines, along High Street. The sidewalk is unsafe, has not been cleaned, is covered in debris, yard waste, and mud. The excessive water drainage from the house, has caused a pothole in the public street (High Street), with a blacktop patch, that is unsafe, and collects water and debris. Not even level with the roadway.
