Good Afternoon. I hope that someone in your department can check into this issue. In the 1200 block of South Madison Street, the westside sidewalk is blocked by what used to be (I assume) a sofa and a downed tree. The sofa has been there for a couple of weeks & the tree came down this past weekend. I live in the 1400 block and drive past it daily so I, and I'm sure the rest of my neighbors, would truly appreciate it if these problems could be taken care of. Thank you so much! Sincerely, Martha Selk

Reference UReport Case #180780 Sorry, I should have said that the sidewalk that is blocked in the 1200 block of South Madison is on the eastside, not the westside. So Sorry! Thanks again. Martha Selk

Update to UReports #180780 & #180783 Good Morning! Someone has shifted the tree so that none of it is in the street but it seemed to still be somewhat on the sidewalk. Thanks again. Martha Selk

2nd email, NOTHING has been done in 4 weeks. 3 handicap people in neighborhood and can't walk because people will not trim the tree limbs and bushes. The sidewalk runs parallel to N.Kinser Pike and around the corner to W. Acuff. Ranges from 1102 W. Yellowwood Court , up to 1126 thru 1158 W.Sugarberry Court. THIS NEEDS TO GET DONE.

# 180789. It has been 1 month and nothing has changed. Except that school is back in session, and the BHSN boys and girls cross country teams try to run in our neighborhood. But it is very difficult, since tree limbs and bushes are growing over the sidewalk. We live in a.nice neighborhood and this is ridiculous. I will give it 1 more week before I get my chain saw and take care of it myself. Then I will send the city of Bloomington a Hefty bill.

# 180789, FIRST REPORTED JULY 28th, NOTHING has been done. Neighbors are now ripping off limbs and putting them in the middle of the sidewalk. Seriously, why has this issue not been taken care of. From almost the beginning of our neighborhood, all the way north to Acuff, the sidewalk has limbs and bushes growing over it. Make these people take care of their property.

This empty lot is on North Summit two lots South of 11th. This collection of garbage occurred from a camp during the last several months. The camp has since vacated and has relocated. The same result is sure to occur again unfortunately at a new location. This was reported at the beginning and was told nothing could be done and the neighborhood should work it out. This issue is destroying our city. Regardless of this being a private or city lot or in what area of the city this is taking place someone in city government needs to take ownership and provide the leadership and use of city resources to remedy this issue. Citizens and neighborhood associations can only do so much. Landlords and property owners need to be held accountable. Action needs to be taken. The problem is only getting worse. This case needs to remain active until this situation is resolved. A simple drive by is no solution. It’s obvious that if we cannot take care of the issues on Kirkwood (the focal point of our community) current department leaders are not qualified to continue in their positions. This can be remedied without being harsh or heavy handed. It takes leadership, commitment, communication and perseverance.
