Human poop around tree on sidewalk in front of global gifts
Human poop around tree on sidewalk in front of global gifts
The sidewalks on Sare Road between Spicewood (as of the morning of 6/4/24) and the roundabout on Winslow have brush that is overgrown to the point that is narrows the sidewalk down so much that only 1 person can walk through. There are also thorn bushes that will scratch you if you meet someone at the same time either walking, running or biking. The sidewalk is also overgrown from the roundabout at the top of the hill on Winslow down to the roundabout at the Jackson Creek trail and then up High Street. These sidewalks are used a lot but the efficiency is greatly diminished since much of it is interrupted by brush. I'm not sure if this is the city's or the property owner's responsibility but it would be great if this could be addressed. Thank you.
Path/sidewalk along north side of Rogers (between High and Winding Brook Circle) is substantially overgrown, reducing effective width by almost 50% in places. There is a good amount of poison ivy included. This is a recurring problem that needs to be permanently addressed. I've reported this issue multiple times over the past couple summers. If this is city's responsibility could it be a regularly scheduled maintenance item?
We have these nice wide sidewalks in Bloomington to use, however, properties are not being maintained and the overgrowth blocks a large portion of them. Sare Road from Spicewood all the way down to Rhorer road has a lot of overgrowth. I've had my face cut by thorns when I met another runner at the same time and had to run through the brush that was in the sidewalk. The roundabout about at Sare and Winslow down to Jackson creek roundabout is also overgrown. Particularly the bridge area at Jackson Creek. These areas need trimmed down and edging to get full use of the sidewalks. These are heavily traveled paths that are not being maintained.
Asphalt on Smith at its intersection with Euclid and to the West of that intersection is cracked and crumbling. The ends of the sidewalk on the west side of that intersection are badly eroded.
There is a large pipe knocked down from the corner of South Rogers Street and Hillside, it is laying on the sidewalk.
Sidewalk along North side of East Rogers still overgrown with vegetation, including poison ivy. Does the city have any plans to clean this up?
Two trees are down in this area due to storm. Neighborhood residents removed trees from street and most of tree from sidewalk. Some of the trees have been cut into manageable pieces and are piled in yards. Some pieces weren’t able to be cut before dark.
Street tree downed in storm and blocks sidewalk
owned parcels on West cottage Grove east of Monroe Street are overgrown and obstructing sidewalk passage. This is the only sidewalk and poison ivy and brush make it difficult to navigate. There's a tree marked for removal that needs addressed before it causes injury or property damage. This has been reported before.
