I am a bicyclist and must use the sidewalks occasionally because of lack of bike lanes. The large house on the NE corner of S. High and Maxwell (I believe it is 831 S. High) has large bushes that protrude onto the sidewalk and vines that cover about 1/3 of the sidewalk, creating hazards for pedestrians and bicyclists alike. The homeowners have neglected to trim the bushes and vines for years.
There is a dumpster in the alley behind Indiana Auto Sales (not sure if it is residential or commerical) that is not up to code for a business in Bloomington (no concrete slap, and no surrounding fence / wall).
A gentleman stopped by our office this morning to alert us to an unsafe swing set that was installed in the yard of 825 S. Eastside Dr. He said that the swing is installed in a way that it would go into the road if someone was on it. He is nervous that a kid is going to swing on it unsupervised and go into the road. He would like to remain anonymous.
The house on the north-west corner of Maxwell and Fess has plants so tall that it is dangerous for cars driving south on Fess to pull into the intersection.
I reported this issue 10 weeks ago, and no action has been taken that I can tell. The home at 831 S. High St. (on the NE corner of High and Maxwell) has vines that have grown over 1/3 of the sidewalk, and branches from bushes hang into the sidewalk as well, making it a hazard for pedestrians and bikers. This home has had hundreds of thousands of dollars of renovations done to it, but the homeowners can't seem to pay someone $25 to cut back the vines and bushes. Something absolutely must be done about this -- I'm tired of having to encounter this neglect on a daily basis.
This fence is too tall.
Stop sign (3-way) needed at Winslow and Highland.
The hedges of this property are overgrown and block access to the sidewalk. This is a chronic issue - please remedy with homeowner (it's a rental unit). Thanks!
Parking on the grass every day at rental.
The small car on the left of the photo is parking on the grass. It is an ongoing problem for years at this property. Planning has a file. There is supposed to be railroad ties to mark the parking but the tenants and mowers move them. A call has been made to Planning today.
