Why is the sidewalk before and after the traintracks on Pete Ellis Drive never shoveled? In the three big snowfalls this year - nothing. And previous years. This is a highly pedestrian area.
Trees, planted between the street and sidewalk, are overgrown into the street blocking line of sight and scrapping against vehicles as they drive by.
In the transition from Longview Ave. to E. 7th St., the asphalt multi-use lane turns into a double-wide cement sidewalk. I've always stayed on the path because it links directly to the underpass at the bridge and seems and extension of the bike path. But today someone told me, "Get off the sidewalk idiot!" I pride myself on following the rules of bicycling. AQm I right or wrong to be using that stretch of cement? Also, Smith Road between 3rd St. and Moore's Pike is a disaster for bicyclists--way too narrow to safely bike on the road, but only a cement sidewalk on the west side, which then vanishes to become a multi-use path on the WEST side of the road, which then vanishes again at the corner of Moore's Pike to become a sidewalk traveling west. How can my kids safely ride their bikes down Smith Road!?
Homemade signs on multiple corners of Eagleson and 1st Street in between sidewalk and street
Metal stub from broken off signpost on west sidewalk (even side of street) is a major tripping hazard. It needs to come out, and until that happens it really needs a cone or something to make it visible to pedestrians.
There is a growing campsite on the north side of Wylie, not far from the intersection of S. Walnut, that is effectively making it impossible for some individuals with special needs to use the sidewalk there. This is not in a secluded area, but instead directly by a home in a residential area. This is a mixed issue. Not only is this campsite impeding foot travel, it is also against Bloomington policy by being an overnight campsite on public property.
Sidewalk across from ABA auto sales on E Wylie Street is blocked with furniture brought over from unhoused persons. Persons there after hours when the Shalom center closes. Should outreach come out as well for services?
Page 3 of the Winslow Resurfacing project plan shows that multiple tree stumps along Winslow Road near the intersection of Allendaywere to be removed. The project shows as complete, but these stumps were not removed. Additionally, just East of the stump area the bushes along the fence are so overgrown that it makes it difficult to walk on the sidewalk in this area. Can they be trimmed back to the fence line so the sidewalk can be used? Thank you
Plants are starting to grow over the sidewalk.
Overgrown brush is obstructing the sidewalk.
