The stop sign at W 3rd. and S. Fairview is grown over with weed trees. They are so large they are obscuring the driver's view of pedestrians at that stop sign. Could you please cut them (or some of them) down? Thanks.
The stormwater grates at West Fourth and Fairview literally had small bushes growing in the sediment. I cleaned them again today-but why oh why can't these be part of regular maintenance? When they are blocked, which is most of the time, the water gets 6-8 inches deep at the alley near my house. I brought this to council last year when the city voted to raise fees and was promised by the director (Vic?) that this would be remedied. I have yet to see a clean up schedule or to see a worker ever clean these grates or clean the streets. I'm sick of it. There seems to be no dearth of resources for curbs and flower boxes and traffic restriction work. Why can't the city maintain the streets and storm sewers in a systematic fashion? What is the schedule for cleaning?
There is a sign advertising an AirBnB rental attached to a tree on the property at 813 Kirkwood Ave. The tree is one of two on either side of the alley next to the property, and is located on the berm between the street and the sidewalk, and so appears to be in the city's Right of Way. As far as I understand it, this signage is in violation of the Bloomington Municipal Code, Title 12 (Streets, Sidewalks, and Storm Drains), Chapter 24.080 (Trees and Flora), Ord. 08-06 § 2 (part), 2008) - Prohibited actions, which states "(2) No person shall do any of the following to trees subject to these provisions: (b) Attach any wires, nails, chains, cables, advertising posters or any other contrivance" I would appreciate it if the city removed this sign and prevented such actions by the landlord in the future.
Street light along Madison between 3rd and 4th is flickering and has been for the past week
For the City arborist: there are two young trees growing side-by-side at the stop sign at 3rd and Fairview. One is a black walnut that I think should be cut down so the other one can grow to its full potential. They are so close it feels like they will just compete for space. We could have one very healthy street tree as opposed to two stunted ones. Thanks.
There is a paved alley behind the 200 block of South Maple Street that at least 8 residences use as the primary means of entering and exiting their homes. It is impossible for me at 214 1/2 Maple Street to actually exit onto Maple Street because of the narrow drive and the snow accumulation. Please kindly consider plowing this alley.
Please kindly consider plowing the alley directly behind the 200 block of South Maple Street when the rounds are made through Prospect Hill. This is a main entry/exit point for several residences.
Hi, just putting a request in for snow removal for the alley I live on if/when you're able to get to it. My house is in the alley between Kirkwood and 4th, and there's been no plowing here since it began snowing a week or two ago. It's normally not a big issue other than the ice that builds up and makes walking dangerous, but after this storm I'm pretty well blocked in completely. The complicating factor is that this is a fairly narrow alley, with a drainage ditch at one point that can make navigating it with large equipment dicey - I wouldn't recommend anything bigger than a pickup with a plow come through, if you are in fact able to dispatch anyone here anytime soon. I understand that even if you can it may be a while, but wanted to put the request in regardless, as the postal service is having a less than ideal time getting down here and the snow compacts into ice if it isn't cleared. I'd very much appreciate it if you can make it, even if it won't be for a bit. Many thanks either way!
Please plow the alley behind S Maple Street. Multiple residences use that as the primary entry/exit from their homes, because they don’t have access to the main street.
Alley behind 200 block of S Maple Street needs plowed again — thanks for clearing streets for us!
