The City does not maintain the trees between the sidewalk and the street on Adams. The trees and brush are overgrown with invasive species and the local residents are spending hours and money trying to maintain the weeds/trees that are impeding their property. The sidewalk is not accessible because the City has not maintained their portion of the land between the sidewalk and the street.
U-report 191557 says resolved. My opinion not this overgrowth is in the faces of the service. I hire to mow the city alley. If I have to remove snow from sidewalks in the winter for safety, this overgrowth is a hazard. It contains poison ivy and is very close to falling into my off street parking. Civic duty take care of it homeowners.
The former Blue Sky veterinarian building looks like an urban jungle. Can any clean up be done?
Please correct me if I am wrong, when the sidewalk and utilities were placed on the outside of the west wall of the Covenanter Cemetery, the city was to take care of that area. It is a jungled mess. I am happy to spray the area and get rid of all the icy and other miscellaneous “greenery” but would like to know if that is our responsibility first. Thank you
Trash can on sidewalk for weeks. Grass completely overgrown.
Excessive growth. North of driveway and south of driveway, not the garden area, yard.
Open compost bin. Dumping garbage in open bin. Wood crate south of driveway.
On the north side of E. Smith Ave, roughly 25 yards west of the intersection with Henderson, there is a tree that is covered with poison ivy vines. The vines now hang over the sidewalk, making it difficult to walk on the sidewalk without bumping into poison ivy leaves.
People are living here, they are dumping trash and it smells so bad like pee and poop
There are homeless encampments steadily increasing in number behind my house and those of my neighbors. There are now several in view of my windows. The amount of trash is staggering, including countless hypodermic needles. Trash is regularly set on fire by the residents of the encampments, producing noxious smoke that smells terrible and is surely not safe to breathe. The city needs to do something about these encampments. Open air drug use within feet of neighborhoods with young children should not be tolerated. I've been a resident of Bloomington for a decade and I'm strongly considering moving out of town due to the city's inability to address this issue. Please do something.
