Temporary Signage w/o permit
813 W Kirkwood AVE
- Case Date:
- 10/14/2020
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 ยง 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.

Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

Hello!
I work at WonderLab Science Museum. We were wondering what would be needed to improve a curb that is on the west side of our building in the front. It goes into an alley that school buses use. Bus drives have a very difficult time getting in without hitting the curb. This curb also has an accessibility ramp that does not line up with the rest of the side walk on 4th street going west (due to the entrance to the parking garage of the neighboring residence). The curb cut is currently closer to the alley way than on the corner of the sidewalk.
We would like the ramp to moved to the corner of the curb for accessibility and bus movement. An oversized cut on that corner would be ideal.
Thank you!

There is a fallen branch on the sidewalk and treelawn (city easement) in front of my home. It fell from a city tree across the street. Presumably, someone moved it out of the roadway onto my easement. It is not thick, but is large and unwieldy. I do not have a photo I can submit.

Crazy overgrown sidewalk and street signs.
Line of Sight

The overgrowth between the sidewalk and street on the NE corner of 2nd and Euclid blocks all the views of westbound traffic, creating a significant hazard. This occurs every year. The residents are apparently cultivating it. That overgrowth needs to be removed permanently.
Street Trees

The street view is fully obstructed by weeds at the intersection of Euclid and 2nd street. When going South on Euclid and attempting to make a left hand turn (east) on 2nd, you cannot see oncoming traffic to your left due to vegetation between the sidewalk and the road. I have almost gotten in an accident twice at this intersection due to pulling out and jot seeing an oncoming car which was blocked by the weeds. This is especially a problem for cars versus trucks due to the height.
