Weeds growing out and covering sidewalk on NW corner of property (Lincoln and alley intersection.)
Vegetation is growing over the sidewalk on the Maple Street side of house. Sidewalk is impassible the entire length. You have to walk out in the street. Looks terrible and is a safety issue.
Plants are overgrowing onto sidewalk (NE corner of property) block pedestrian and wheelchair traffic.
Most of sidewalk blocked by shrubs
317 e. university vegetation encroaches sidewalk
Trees, planted between the street and sidewalk, are overgrown into the street blocking line of sight and scrapping against vehicles as they drive by.
vegetation encroaches sidewalk between 315 e. university and corner. vegetation encroaches both from the side and above
Front yard bushes are overgrown, impeding sidewalk foot traffic.
this washed out patch is a fairly serious safety issue for cars and pedestrians. Due to recent work on a sidewalk on Clover Lane, orange traffic cones were available, and were placed at the site of the hole to reduce the risk of an accident. City personnel came to see the issue, and took away the traffic cones, thereby increasing the risk of an accident. City personnel informed me that the hole would be repaired "soon" by the fiber optics installation contractor. While I understand that this sort of thing takes some time to coordinate and complete, the removal of the orange cone and the lack of a repair, is creating a safety risk for cars and pedestrians in the area. thanks, kelly
# 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.
