The weeds are becoming a safety hazard for the neighborhood. We can't see around them to drive, make turns, or children playing. Can the weeds by the sidewalk be removed for better safety?
At the following addresses, the clearance space above the sidewalk surface and the bottom of the tree canopy is quite a bit lower than the eight feet stipulated in Section 12.24.040(2) of Bloomington’s Municipal Code. The low bottom of the tree canopy at these addresses blocks the sidewalk and represents a safety hazard for pedestrians and runners. Could you please look into this issue? Thank you! 3906 E Brighton Crest 3916 E Brighton Crest 929 S Brighton Crest 807 S Brighton Crest 701 S Brighton Crest (tree on Bennington Blvd) 4049 Bennington Blvd 559 S Park Ridge Rd (R3 Reserve, west side of Park Ridge) 365 S Park Ridge Rd 4405 E 3rd St (gas station, tree south of gas station exit on N Park Ridge Rd) 125 S Park Ridge Rd 109 S Park Ridge Rd 4401 E Cambridge Ct (tree on N Park Ridge Rd) 610 N Park Ridge Rd 903 N Park Ridge Ct 824 N Plymouth Rd 4305 E Walpole Ln (trees also on Plymouth Rd) 615 N Plymouth Rd 501 N Plymouth Rd 331 N Sheffield Rd
The side walk along High Street, just south of Woodstock Place, has been partially blocked with the asphalt that was used to temporarily fill pot holes. As the water pushed out the asphalt, it has moved onto the sidewalk, making walking along busy High Street more dangerous.
The boulder that was installed at the corner of South Fess Avenue and the alley behind Bloomingfoods/The Elm has been moved into the sidewalk.
this washed out patch is a fairly serious safety issue for cars and pedestrians. Due to recent work on a sidewalk on Clover Lane, orange traffic cones were available, and were placed at the site of the hole to reduce the risk of an accident. City personnel came to see the issue, and took away the traffic cones, thereby increasing the risk of an accident. City personnel informed me that the hole would be repaired "soon" by the fiber optics installation contractor. While I understand that this sort of thing takes some time to coordinate and complete, the removal of the orange cone and the lack of a repair, is creating a safety risk for cars and pedestrians in the area. thanks, kelly
Overgrown ornamental grasses are blocking the sidewalk on High, forcing pedestrians into the street. This is a high-traffic, high pedestrian use corridor. Grasses overgrow the sidewalk every year at this time.
# 180789. It has been 1 month and nothing has changed. Except that school is back in session, and the BHSN boys and girls cross country teams try to run in our neighborhood. But it is very difficult, since tree limbs and bushes are growing over the sidewalk. We live in a.nice neighborhood and this is ridiculous. I will give it 1 more week before I get my chain saw and take care of it myself. Then I will send the city of Bloomington a Hefty bill.
