Dear city of Bloomington, Would it be possible to have some of the trees/bushes obstructing the view on S Walker Street trimmed? These are also growing over the sidewalk. In particular, it is very hard to see incoming traffic when turning left from Howe Street. Warm regards, Guillaume Duty PhD student in the biology department
There is a business or something on 17th St. -- between Madison and Woodburn next to Bloomington Cleaners that has a yard full of dirt -- no grass, no plants. Every time it rains, the resulting mud washes on to the sidewalk.
On going street repair going on many weeks. City Utilities sign in place, corner of E. Longview and Glenwood west. Please raise the priority of this repair, two wheelchair neighbors on that street have to maneuver around the repair into the street to use the sidewalk.
6 bird scooters blocking sidewalk
This morning around 8:30 the SW corner of Maxwell Lane and Woodlawn. Four scooters were set up out of the way. The other two blocked the sidewalk. I moved those two in between the other four. I did---so could a "juicer." Thanks.
Parking on grass AND sidewalk on 1003 W First.
At 900 W Kirkwood Ave, in front of the gates at our company, there seems to be a continuous pooling/running of water right at the sidewalk. It runs into the road and then east on the street. With colder weather coming, our concern is it freezing and causing more problems.
Hello, I would like to draw your attention to an issue with item 6 of the e-scooter guidelines on the city website; "6. Park the scooter in a bike rack or in another lawful spot on public property that does not block the right-of-way, limit access for individuals with disabilities, risk damaging private or public property, or jeopardize public safety." E-scooters should not be parked “in a bike rack” as they do not require locking and have their own kick-stand support. When e-scooters are parked inside of bike racks they are blocking access to a vital space for cyclists. Parking e-scooters in bike racks causes the same inconvenience to cyclists as parking e-scooters in the middle of a sidewalk causes to pedestrians. Failing to notice this basic issue feels like the city of Bloomington has forgotten or decided to ignore the needs of cyclists. I ask that the wording in the e-scooter guidelines be changed to ensure that bike racks are reserved for bikes and other vehicles that require locking, and proper notice be given to e-scooter users about this change. Thank you.
Grant at Kirkwood. 11-17-18 early afternoon 3 or 4 Bird scooters taking up enough of the sidewalk that a couple can not walk side by side.
These Birds and Limes left plenty of sidewalk for pedestrians but the Limes would block someone from being able to get out of the rear seat of that car on to the sidewalk.
