Tree on property is growing out across sidewalk at a height well below 8 feet, impeding pedestrian access.
Tree on property is growing out across sidewalk at a height well below 8 feet, impeding pedestrian access.
A substantial tree limb is growing over the sidewalk at a height that poses a risk to pedestrians.
Tree limbs are growing across the sidewalk at heights well below 8 feet on both the Hawthorne and 2nd St. faces of this process, impeding pedestrian access.
Trees on this property are growing across the sidewalk lower than 8 feet, impeding pedestrian access.
Overgrowth and trees on this property encroach significantly on the sidewalk making pedestrian access difficult. In addition, the property is overrun with highly invasive plants, including tree of heaven, multiflora rose, and many others.
Grass growing through sidewalk on Maple St. side of property.
Tree branches overhang 9th St. sidewalk at Butler Park hanging lower than five feet--impassable without ducking or leaving sidewalk--very difficult for elderly pedestrians. Hard to understand why the city is issuing citations for minor aesthetic violations when their own property has significant issues with accessibility, unmowed grass, and poison ivy next to walkways. Come on, Bloomington. Stop empowering harassment and instead prioritize violations that actually impede safety and access.
The road was repaved in front of our house but the new asphalt stopped just before our driveway. This created a pothole / rut on the side of the road where our driveway meets the new asphalt in front of our mailbox. Turning right out of our driveway our back tire hits this rut each time. It is a very busy intersection and we have to get out of our driveway quickly because people are rude. It has to be difficult for the mail truck to pull up to the mail box. We were hoping this area could be filled in like a pothole. I tried to attach a photo but it doesn't seem to actually attach the file. Thanks.
Why haven’t you installed pedestrian crossing lines and signals yet? You’ve known about this for so long. I was nearly hit crossing with the light on foot just today. Cars in every direction had to adjust to seeing a pedestrian crossing, they all wanted to drive where I was crossing. Do something now! Tens of thousand of students are coming, always dangerous for pedestrians. Someone will get hurt with students never looking for people on foot when they’re trying to figure out where they’re going, turning, beating yellow lights, turning on red, etc. PLEASE!
This is a cul-de-sac in Park Ridge East. The paving at entrance to the street is in disrepair. At the top of the cul-de-sac is a huge pot hole. The center of the street is breaking away. To drive up and down this street many times a day is frustrating. It would be wonderful to have it repaved.
