I believe the honeylocust in the parkway in front of my house is dead. It’s Site ID 35450.
Tree down on Clifton Ave, between 1st and 2nd Street, closer to 1st Street. Not a large tree, but couldn’t be moved by one person.
One of the two very large trees bordering the street appears diseased and dying. It is dropping branches often. The tree is also right above a crucial storm drain and the debris is clogging the drain often.
We live on Southern Oaks Drive (between Sare Road and Oakmount Drive). Drivers frequently use our street as a "cut through." We have many children in our neighborhood and, this afternoon, a five year old boy riding his bicycle was almost hit by a driver speeding through this area. The driver did not even slow down, rather, they swerved to go around him. He swerved the same direction and they almost hit him. Our request is for speed bumps or some sort of traffic calming device to be place on South Southern Oaks Drive before a child is seriously hurt or even killed. This situation will only worsen as more apartments, and businesses are built on Sare Road.
Vehicle come off Bloomfield rd on to Allen St an Accelerate way beyond the 25 mph speed and there are some cars and trucks with very loud exhaust that you can hear them as they get farther away. There are 6 intersection in this stretch of Allen st. Could the City place some traffic calming device on Allen St from Bloomfield Rd to Adams st? I have requested this 6 months ago and have not heard anything.
People speed out of RCA Park (and this has happened after criminal activity as well), so can traffic calming devices such as speed bumps please be considered?
I’m a frequent user of Switchyard park, but I’m very unhappy with the state of the parking lot on Walnut St. I’ve seen city employees out working in the area several times, but it’s still unsightly. The beds are sparse and bare-looking. It appears as though the working crew has mulched around Johnson grass - an invasive grass - and tall fescue. Does the landscaper not know the difference between invasive and ornamental grasses? Not only this, the hills south of the stage area around the playground and dog park are filled with thistles, Johnson grass, and other invasives. Is the city’s flagship park not worth landscaping maintenance? Considering that this is the city’s most beloved, brag-worthy park and it still looks awful, I’m hesitant to visit other parks.
This mileage sign for walkers heading northwest on the Clear Creek Trail is totally unreadable. It is across from the hopscotch court on the little learning trail just south of That Road. Cheap to replace! I think it is meant to mark 0.5 mile point from the roundabout where CCT intersects with the Bloomington Rail Trail. We walkers like to know how far we’ve traveled! FYI the pavers under several of the benches on the trail are loose and could also use some work.
This mileage sign at top for people walking northwest on Clear Creek Trail is nearly unreadable and incorrect. Needs replacement. It barely says 1 mile from Tapp Road roundabout. It is actually 1 mile from the CCT/Bloomington Rail Trail intersection roundabout. The bottom sign is pretty worn as well.
