Sidewalk is sinking and cracked
Sidewalk is sinking and cracked
A tree has fallen over a fence and is blocking the sidewalk.
I live in Canterbury house apartments and use the Bloomington Transit to get around. My daughter (26) and myself are both disabled and have mobility limitations. I would assume that it was from last Wednesday's storms, but there is a large tree branch blocking the sidewalk along basswood between the entrance to Canterbury House Apartments and the bus stop at Forest Ridge Apartments. We had a doctor's appointment this morning and had to be at the bus stop by 7:20AM and was surprised to see such a mess blocking the sidewalk. Since my daughter would be unable step off the sidewalk with her rollater walker to avoid the section that the tree branch covers it meant we had to walk from Canterbury House Apartments entrance to the entrance to Forest Ridge on the road. This was very unsettling for both her and I because we both know how bad cars fly around the corner and how fast they speed through this section. We came in from the bus at 2:25pm today and the tree branch was still there so we took a photo to show.
Complaint of a hole approximately 20 inches in diameter and 2-2 1/2 feet deep in the grassy area between the road and the sidewalk. She can see a pipe at the bottom of the hole. She said there used to be a cone on the hole but now it is just open.Located on the south side of the street in front of the IU Classroom building. Worried about small dog or child falling in the whole.
Complaint of buckling sidewalk outside of 1119 E. Benson Ct., right next to a fire hydrant. Kids are using sidewalk as a ramp and there is a safety concern they could possibly ramp off and injure themselves on fire hydrant.
Cracked sidewalk danger
Our street has not been plowed. I'm concerned about tomorrow's snow being piled on Friday's snow. Thanks.
In the past the city of Bloomington has cleared snow on the street at 1250 W Adams Hill Circle (Countryside is the cross street). Is this still the case? I've seen the company our HOA employs to clean snow, plowing this street last week and today (1/15/18). Can you confirm that this should be cleaned by the city?
Pot hole filling debris all over the road! Two nights ago we believe that a snow plow inadvertently dug up and distributed debris from a pot hole that was coming undone. Black sticky stuff has been spread up the road and on our driveway (only a little on our driveway). The debris is a a hazard, and of course, the pot hole is too. We hope that the street can be cleaned up sooner rather than later please.
I'm a resident at Ambassador Apartments, and these potholes (4 major ones) are always on my way to the bus, dumpster, and sidewalk. I'm blind, and I cannot notice these while I'm walking, and I've fallen on them many times. I've lived here since 2011, and these potholes have existed since that time without being repaired.
