Worse than a scooter - cannot get by on sidewalk
Worse than a scooter - cannot get by on sidewalk
The sidewalk on Azalea Lane next to Winslow Woods is likely the responsibility of the city of Bloomington. The brush that is overgrown the sidewalk needs to be removed immediately. Yesterday I saw over 10 athletes running into traffic to try and avoid running in the brush because there is no room on the sidewalk to walk.
Overgrown shrubbery causing line of sight issue at corner of 11th and N. Walnut. It's growing at base of business sign. Position of shrubbery causes cars turning left onto one way to pull up pretty far to see and risk being hit by cars turning onto 11th street.
A block or so east of the intersection of 17th & Walnut, there is this overgrown bush that forces walkers into the street. Also, the speed limit sign has been vandalized with spray paint.
There needs to be 'Do Not Enter' signs at the corner of Kirkwood Ave. and Dunn St. looking north on Dunn. Cars turn the wrong way down Dunn daily, and it's always increasingly worse around move-in, football weekends and holidays with several out-of-towners coming in.
3rd street just west of Fairview
Invasive plants have grown so much that they are now blocking the sidewalk on the SE corner of this property.
I have lived on South Park Avenue for over a year and have found that the brush and foliage at 1200 South Park Ave (at the corner of South Park Ave and Grimes) is becoming a hazard for those turning out of South Park onto Grimes. The foliage has become so overgrown that it is very difficult to see the traffic coming from the left when you are stopped at the intersection and about to turn onto Grimes. You have to edge out quite far without being able to see the oncoming traffic. It is also very difficult to see South Park Ave. (and any potential cars turning out of the street) when you are traveling East along Grimes. The inhabitants of the home are not known within the neighborhood and so no one feels comfortable asking the owners/tenants to trim their trees and foliage. I am concerned that as the foliage continues to grow unabated that there could be a serious accident at this intersection. Not only is this a concern for those of us who live on South Park Ave., but for those who drive down our road each day to pickup and drop off their children at Templeton Elementary.
The branches encroaching on the sidewalk have gotten to be too much on High St. just South of Wimbleton. Pedestrian traffic is significant here, especially now that school has started, and it's honestly challenging for adults to get past one another while ducking under the branches. This is a popular place for people to ride their bikes on the sidewalk, taking their kids to school, and an adult biking on the sidewalk going down the hill might be in danger of being decapitated by all the branches.
Invasive plants have grown so large that one cannot see down or use the sidewalk. It is not clear which property is actually responsible - either 307 or 311 E. Cottage Grove
