The same tree root issue is happening on the opposite side of our driveway as well. The roots from the tree are causing the sidewalk to raise becoming a trip and fall hazard. Additionally, the branches hang over the street directly above any vehicle that would park there in front of our house. Would like the tree removed if possible and a new smaller one planted if a tree is required. 2630 South Isabel Court. Thank you.
There are 2 street lights on Kegg Rd. in front of the gymnasium whose anchored cables have come detached. I am not sure if this poses a hazard or not, but it makes me nervous every time I run by them and especially with so many parents and kids walking on that sidewalk. It would be nice if they could be fixed. I assume the city owns them but I'm not totally sure.
After the storm went through on Sunday 6/23, we noticed runners and walkers were having trouble getting through on the sidewalk behind our house along Rogers Rd. Upon investigation, we found that a tree/bush next to the road had broken in the storm and was blocking the sidewalk. We cleared the debris from the sidewalk and moved it into the grassy area in between the sidewalk and the road. I would like to see the debris removed and that bush/tree trimmed. Please warn whomever works there that there may be poison ivy (I seem to have gotten it, likely from that.)
This is my second year reporting this issue. My family purchased this home on a cul-de-sac 4 years ago. Last year we removed our mailbox and installed a retaining wall because of already existing poor driaining issues in our area and the city keeps piling snow on top of our property and now the wall. I called Sunday evening and the woman I spoke with said, "cul-de-sacs" were tricky and the guys were out there long hours and were working in bad conditions while being exhausted. But she would be sure to give Joe my address and he would look into my complaints." I called Sunday because the had packed up a huge amount once again on our wall and blocked off half of my driveway. I was then told if we could get in and out of our driveway this should not be an issue or an emergency. Understandable but if the job was successfully completed then first time you would not have to come back. I woke up Monday not surprised to see even more snow had been packed up to our ever growing pile. So my issues are where is all this water going? There is no drainage in this area and all this snow will cause hazardous conditions with melting and freezing and having nowhere to go. Why are you bringing all of the snow into our cul-de-sac? Why are you continuously putting snow on a stone wall where someone could get injured after I have now reported it three times? There are a ton of kids in our neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods and kids like to jump in big piles of snow. I will not be held liable because the city of Bloomington will not listen to or work with its residents. Finally when you contact the city of Bloomington instead of working with you why do they always seem to retaliate against you and make the situation worse? This is what happened last year when the plow driver asked me how I suggested he plow with my "plow experience." I have many other picture but this shows the pile today and how large it is and how spread out the city left. If it snows anymore my neighbors might not be able to back out of their driveway. Is this acceptable??
I had filed a claim earlier asking Bloomington to stop pushing snow on my retaining wall and that you had only plowed half of my drive. A driver came back and plowed and broke our wall. I have tried to email because the closed the claim saying resolved, but as you can see now that the snow has melted a little this situation is clearly not resolved. We paid $4000.00 for this retaining wall. I have called, emailed, my husband has come to your office and this is now my second claim. Please help!!
The hill near the intersection of Curry Pike and 46 is treacherous. Only one (1) lane has been cleared in each direction. Every year, this road gets neglected in terms of snow removal, but it is highly trafficked at high speeds. Why is that?
2901 Olcott. Dead branches, over sidewalk and street. Hit by trucks, knocked down by storms.
1, upper left) Lincoln St., between 2nd and 3rd, entrance into police station parking lot, northwest corner, no ramp onto sidewalk, more than a two inch dropoff making it impossible to get a wheelchair onto it at all, even a power chair. Must go around the block or out into the street. Can it be smoothed down or asphalt added to make it beveled? 2, upper right) Just north of that northwest corner is sidewalk degradation that is hard to get around in a wheelchair. 3 lower left) Southwest corner, The sidewalk is raised above a 1/2" (ADA says less) making it hard for a manual wheelchair to get over it. Must go around the block or out into the street. Can it be smoothed down or asphalt added to make it beveled? 4 lower right) just north of the northwest corner is a sidewalk leading to the back entrance of the police station that has some sidewalk degradation that makes it difficult to get a wheelchair over this.
