on walnut, between 3rd st and 4th st, in front of a law office (after firestone), there's a sunken-in sidewalk panel that floods when it rains, so then i have to walk around it in the mud. i have noticed this before, but this is the 1st time i am reporting it.
Southeast corner of college and 14th. Construction site at old mancino's. Sidewalk partially obstructed by sand. They moved the equipment. They moved the sheet board. They did not move the sand. Workers are present inside the building. I am bringing this to your attention because it demonstrates their comfort with receiving daily phone calls from your office. They are used to the sound of the dog barking without biting.
On June 1 and July 1 I reported that vegetation is blocking the multiuse path on Sare Rd. (180480 and180147) and the issue has not yet been addressed. If uReport is not the appropriate place to report the problem, please let me know and I can contact the relevant department heads, council member, mayor's office to request help. Last week, I observed a young cyclist almost fall of his bike trying to avoid the vegetation. I hope it can be taken care of quickly.
Growth impinging the sidewalk on the West side of Pete Ellis Drive near the gardens and Post office.
This is a test as people are telling me that this is not submitting. So they called the Mayor's office and the response was that they didn't know why it doesn't work. So I'll submit a ticket if this doesn't submit.
Within the Bentley Court neighborhood the city street and sidewalks are blocked by overhanging trees. It is mostly in the middle of the neighborhood along Abby Lane. By the post office boxes and across the street. You can't miss it. You might want to drive around the small neighborhood a bit to see other spots where the sidewalks are blocked. Probably a 30 min job at most. Thanks so much. The main entrance island with three trees are fine...they were trimmed last Fall.
Hi - I feel like the city needs to issue a warning to cyclists to take extra precautions when locking up their bike. On Monday around 11am, my $1200 bike was stripped of all of its parts that were not locked to the bike rack. This happened right outside my office in a somewhat busy parking lot, in downtown Bloomington, in broad daylight. From the security footage it took the person about 20 minutes. A police report was filed and the officer mentioned he'd seen similar cases recently. After posting about this on social media, I've now heard numerous cases of bikes either being stripped completely or partially during the day at various spots downtown over the past couple weeks. Had there been any media or warnings issued, I would have certainly brought my bike into my office, rather than risk losing most of it. I realize it's just a possession (and not a life) and can be replaced, but given that this seems to be a growing trend, a warning and increased awareness would be helpful.
The sidewalk in front of the dentist office at 221 east 7th street has a speed bump across it where the parking lot connects to 7th street. This is a tripping hazard for pedestrians.
There is a set of two squares of sidewalk that need fixed outside of the atlas at 3rd and college. I fell there and shattered my knee two years ago. I filed with the safety office. It still isn’t fixed. Please do something with it so no one else gets hurt there.
There is a walk way from Cascades Addition from near 651 Skyline Drive that goes into the Arlington Elementary School yard. I have tried but never have been able to find out who (school or city) is responsible for it. I think the school has cleared it out every year before school starts. Children from the neighborhood walk to school that way and people walk to Kroger or to the walking path and frisbee golf course at Arlington. Right now it is really overgrown and some people have come racing their bicycles and scooters out of it and almost hit us twice (they were young adults). There used to be posts on it so no one could do that or try to drive on it! Picture is From Skyline Dr. looking up (see cut off post). I think the posts need to be put back up and it definitely needs to be cleared on both sides of path from overgrowth.
