Retaining wall is collapsing onto sidewalk, blocking wheelchair use. Owner has not maintained wall - pieces have been haphazardly thrown back onto the property over the last couple years since the house degenerated into a rental.
Accessibility Issue: Crumbling Sidewalk. This intersection has no curb cut which forces wheelchair users to go out into the street, which is a traffic hazard and dangerous. Please fix.
Fauna overhanging sidewalk in 2 places at Laughing Planet. Blind pedestrian would hit head in branches
Narrow sidewalk covered with growth
Accessibility issue Foliage encroachment of the sidewalk. My wife, who is blind, has to use this path to get to Henderson.
Sidewalk needed. I walked from Peppergrass to Kroger. I had to walk in the street, S. Walnut St. Pike. Very dangerous
The sidewalk in front of this complex (Townhouses on 10th) does not have ramps, just curbs, to cross the driveway to the complex. There is also a sunken area east of the complex entrance that is completely buried in dirt now (I'm not sure if it is on their property or on Woodbridge's, it is between). This makes it very difficult to walk through this area with a stroller and also makes it inaccessible to anyone unable to step down or up on a curb (and when it rains, the dirt-covered area turns into mud and gets pretty slick). There are some other areas that have shifted so the sidewalk is no longer even as well.
The bike lanes on North Smith Road are crumbling and are more dangerous to use than the car lanes. It would be really nice to see an extension of the sidewalk to incorporate and combine the existing bike lanes, so the sidewalks are wider, and the vehicle lanes feel narrower, which might help reduce traffic speeds through the winding/hilly residential area and make the path feel safer to bikers and pedestrians.
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.
