Shrubs have overgrown, blocking the sidewalk. It is the only sidewalk on the street.
Shrubs have overgrown, blocking the sidewalk. It is the only sidewalk on the street.
Public sidewalk is obstructed by tree and flora overgrowth. Not pruned to 8 ft for sidewalk, not pruned to 15 ft for street.
Tree limbs and overgrowth are growing into the public utility lines, along High Street. The sidewalk is unsafe, has not been cleaned, is covered in debris, yard waste, and mud. The excessive water drainage from the house, has caused a pothole in the public street (High Street), with a blacktop patch, that is unsafe, and collects water and debris. Not even level with the roadway.
People speed out of RCA Park (and this has happened after criminal activity as well), so can traffic calming devices such as speed bumps please be considered? There are deer in the area, plus lots of kids moving into Osage Place.
To Whom It May Concern, this is more of a recommendation than an problem. The pedestrian/bike crossing light on Allen St across Walnut is generally pretty good. Currently, there is a button to activate the lights on the sidewalks and wanted to suggest installing an additional button curbside for bikers. As it's currently constructed the median has two cut-outs so bicyclists can stay in the road (which is where we should be), but activating the light requires we ride up on the sidewalk. Most bikers, myself included, just keep an eye on the road to cross once traffic passes rather than hop the curb to activate the crossing light. The problem arises when a driver decides to yield; it's a nice gesture, but with two lanes of traffic in both directions it isn't safe to cross unless drivers in both lanes decide to yield and it's difficult to see over the stopped car to make sure the second lane is clear. I tend to wave the driver who has yielded to indicate they should just keep going, Bloomington drivers being Bloomington drivers they defer to being polite. A button positioned for bicyclists would make it clearer to both drivers and cyclists when it is safe to cross. This crossing point gets a fair amount of pedestrian and cycle traffic, but I don't think it is enough for a button to disrupt car flow on Walnut.
Orange-red sporty car with louvers on back window resides at this address, HIGH SPEEDS through upper Woodhill Drive daily between 8-10am and 5-6pm. VERY VERY loud vehicle. Dangerous for those in road to mailboxes and for children playing and bicycling. Need traffic calming!
drainage pipe from eaves is partially extending into sidewalk and constitutes a trip hazard especially at night; this area has heavy pedestrian traffic
cars parked on grass, on sidewalk; neighbor feels afraid and does not want to confront them
Blue vehicle is always parked on the lawn at this house.
I am requesting a Neighborhood Compliance Officer confirm there are only 3 unrelated adults living at this address. Owners of this property are Tamas and Nora Czar, Landstuhl, Germany. This request is being made due to : 1. Observing 5 vehicles connected to this address (3 white sedans, a truck , and an SUV). 2. There being an overall unusual amount of cars parked in the northern half of this block, parking on both sides of the street since August 2024, with a daily average of 12 cars.
