There is a sign advertising an AirBnB rental attached to a tree on the property at 813 Kirkwood Ave. The tree is one of two on either side of the alley next to the property, and is located on the berm between the street and the sidewalk, and so appears to be in the city's Right of Way. As far as I understand it, this signage is in violation of the Bloomington Municipal Code, Title 12 (Streets, Sidewalks, and Storm Drains), Chapter 24.080 (Trees and Flora), Ord. 08-06 § 2 (part), 2008) - Prohibited actions, which states "(2) No person shall do any of the following to trees subject to these provisions: (b) Attach any wires, nails, chains, cables, advertising posters or any other contrivance" I would appreciate it if the city removed this sign and prevented such actions by the landlord in the future.

Stormwater grates on either side of Winslow Farm Drive near the intersection with Winslow Road were covered and fastened with sisal-like mats at the beginning of work on the Winslow Rd. section of the pedestrian/biker pathway in mid-spring. As a result, that part of Winslow Road has flooded with every heavy rain, and the grates are now heavily clogged. Early on, I contacted the Street Department about this, but was told that the City had nothing to do with the project, which was slated to finish in October (!) Now it is October, and the pathway crews have finished and cleaned up. But still no one has removed those sisal covers on the two stormwater grates. I'm not sure what department should handle this, but I'd really like to see the problem resolved. Why the grates have had to be covered all these months is a mystery to me.

I'm writing with a suggestion. I spend quite a bit of time walking and running within Bloomington. Outside of the B-line (where my experience has been mixed), I find that car drivers rarely yield to pedestrians and marked pedestrian crosswalks. I wanted to suggest that the city consider adding flashing lights to the signage at crosswalks, in the hope that it would make drivers aware they're approaching a crosswalk, and be more likely to yield to pedestrians. Thanks.

On Grimes Lane, in the 700 block, between Woodlawn and Henderson, the street is so dirty and full of leaves, other debris, that 3-foot high weeds are growing in the crevice between the curb and sidewalk. It's very unsightly.
