A small white poodle dog has been running around the Blue Ridge and Matlock Heights neighborhoods these past few days. It appears to be wearing a collar and tag. We've tried to catch it, but it runs away before we can get to it. This is the location of the last sighting (moments ago).
It looks like there may be poison ivy growing along the limestone wall near the climbing web at the Lower Cascades playground, in an area where children are likely to come in contact with it.
I am writing to you on behalf of the Blue Ridge Neighborhood Association Board to reaffirm our sidewalk request made on March 11th of 2014 and appearing on page 85 of the 2015 Council Sidewalk Committee Packet. As you may know the neighborhood of Blue Ridge is bounded by College Ave on the West, Dunn Street on the East, and Old State Road 37 (and, in part, the Cascades trail) on the North. While Blue Ridge has many positive aspect, unfortunately walkability and biking accessibility to the rest of Bloomington is not one. Dunn Street is narrow, with low visibility hampered by hills, and College Avenue has high-speed traffic. Bloomington Mass Transit does not serve our neighborhood. These factors combine to make walking or biking into or out of Blue Ridge a challenge. It would be of great benefit to our neighborhood if some means could be found to connect our neighborhood via sidewalks to the rest of Bloomington and give our 220 households a means to safely access Bloomington other than by car. With that goal in mind, we request consideration of a sidewalk on North Dunn Street connecting SR 45/46 to Tamarack and ultimately Lakewood Drive. We thank you for considering this matter.
Neighbors across the street from us have been moved out of their house by the Cream and Crimson management company. A car that belonged to the former tenants has been miced out of there driveway and left partly in our driveway and partially in the street near the end of the culture we sac on Fritz Drive. A Resource Officer did cone out 3 days ago to notice it as an abandoned car to be towed after 5 days. It remains in an awkward place for vehicle movement at our dead end. It is a blue CRV, a Hyundai, unlocked.
Abandoned car
Bushes growing into street on curve, causing visibility issues and narrowing street
Street light out again. Fire hydrant on opposite side of street.
Overgrown honeysuckle hanging over and growing out into the roadway
This is a private tree but it is a huge Pin-oak and almost all dead on the top with huge dead limbs perilously broken off and part of it hangs over the street. Seems dangerous for people to drive or walk under.
Street light on west side of N Dunn Street at north corner of 2701 N Dunn not working.
