Cars often seem to be parked on the lawn in front of this house on weekends and evenings.
On the north side of Grimes the sidewalk is blocked by a tree branch hanging down and touching the ground. I had to go out into the street to get around. This was west of Henderson, and I think it was a little east of Palmer.
The bike path between Rogers and Victor Pike on church lane has A-line of sight problem for the people coming from Victor Pike. The tree in the picture blocks the vision of the people waiting to cross the street with all the traffic due to construction I see this is a potential problem.
A school zone speed limit sign is completely obscured by the overgrown bushes/tree on the north side of Hunter between Highland and Ballentine.
414 S. Meadowbrook Drive has landscaping that is causing significant line-of-sight problems at a curve in the road. The usable width of the roadway is also affected. Neighbors are hoping that the city can contact the owners about cutting back the vegetation.
A car is consistently parked on the lawn at 523 E University St.
Poisen ivy growing onto side walk
There is a thick layer of gravel that has washed across the sidewalk at 411 s Lincoln.
The lack of shoulders on the roads is a serious problem in Bloomington. I have lived in a number of cities across the US and Bloomington is the first city I've seen that has very few (if any?) shoulders on the roads. This is unbelievably problematic - if someone has car trouble they can't pull off to the side, if you are dropping someone off you can't just pull off to the side, if I receive a phone call I can't pull over, if riding a bicycle you can't ride along the side.... there are a fair number (surely more than is acceptable) of bike and scooter accidents in Bloomington, and this can largely be attributed to lack of shoulders on roads.
