Blocked Sidewalk
620 S Park AVE
- Case Date:
- 4/19/2023
Tree branches overhang 9th St. sidewalk at Butler Park hanging lower than five feet--impassable without ducking or leaving sidewalk--very difficult for elderly pedestrians. Hard to understand why the city is issuing citations for minor aesthetic violations when their own property has significant issues with accessibility, unmowed grass, and poison ivy next to walkways. Come on, Bloomington. Stop empowering harassment and instead prioritize violations that actually impede safety and access.
Most of the trees along our street are in need of trimming to keep the branches from forcing people to get off the sidewalk or crouch in order to get by. Several of them are also too low for cars to drive under them or park under them along the curb.
Why is the city incapable of not parking on the sidewalk? You also still haven’t fixed the issue where images don’t attach to ureports properly. It’s a photo of a city truck blocking 100% of the sidewalk in front of building trades park. Glad I’m not in a wheelchair
Along the trail next to the train tracks between N Pete Ellis Dr. and State Rd 46 the bushes need to be cut back. In some places it's impossible for bikers and pedestrians to see what's ahead or for bikers to safely pass pedestrians.
The walking/bike trail opposite the Ferguson Dog Park was NOT cleared of snow and we just observed a person pushing, with great difficulty, another person in a wheelchair on this snow/slush covered walk. Shouldn’t the City clear it’s walks just as it expects homeowners to do?
Multiuse Path/Sidewalk covered with low hanging branches and berries all over the path. South of Railroad tracks, north of Eastgate Lane, on west side of 46. Difficult and messy for pedestrians and especially cyclists.
There is a lot of broken glass in the 7th street underpass below the bypass
Completely dead, large street tree on 11th Street side of property.
