Fax was received stating that Mike and Julie Donham were upset with the final yard work at 515 S. Washington St. in Bloomington, IN. They feel add'l. topsoil and seeding are needed along sidewalk and 2 depressesions needed on south side of house.
She called to lodge a complaint about the speed humps that have been installed on Morningside Drive. She lives in Park Ridge east and can't "catch the light" at Smith and 3rd and can't use 10th Street because of the "awful bicycles". She says we have just created "one large driveway " for the people who live on Morningside.
Mike Morris (917-538-5927) called about a tree that fell on the multi-use path handrail on Rogers, just east of High. He mentioned it happened months ago and wanted to know when it will be repaired.
I'm starting a new cleaning business & I was wondering if I need a licenses for passing out flyers in the city restrictions!
Took down street treet and didn't put them back.
Neighbor constructed a fence along the alley. It appears to be in the alley.
I bicycle commute from Park Ridge East to Indiana Ave. following the bicycle path along the railroad. Due to the bypass construction last week I had to cross the working site where the path meets the bypass, or one time I crossed at the light on 10th street. This morning my crossing was muddy. Detours for bicycles require more effort than detours for cars, especially in a hilly town like Bloomington. Moreover, they might require bicyclist to engage in high traffic stretches of roads or unsafe roads, as in the case I describe above. It appears to me that inconveniences and changes affecting car drivers are taken into account when construction works are planned. It does not appear to me that the needs of bicyclist are ever taken into account in these occasions. What is the plan you have in place for those following my commuting route? For how long I will have to expect construction on the bypass affecting my commute? Thank you, Stefano Fiorini
Along Hagan St., which is at the rear of my property on Stonegate Ct., a mature Bradford Pear was split during the storms over the weekend. A large portion of the tree is now blocking the sidewalk, and I'm trying to determine the responsibility for clean-up. By my understanding, the tree is on city property as it sits between the sidewalk and Hagan St., but I understand that it may still be my responsibility. Please advise.
If possible, I would like to see the sidewalk on the south side of East 2nd Street (between Highland Ave and Ballantine) made available for walking. There are big bushes that perpetually extend far into the sidewalk and no one is able to walk or run on it. Thank you!
