I don't know if the city government was involved or not but thank you if so if involved with the sidewalk replacement at Eastplex. Awesome!

East side of rogers, between b line and tenth. 8:35am. City of bloomington bucket truck blocking sidewalk. There were two of them at 8:20am.
I was a bit disappointed with the dangerous traffic situation I had to navigate on Monday morning due to the City of Bloomington's careless job site. Grimes is being resurfaced it looks like. I was heading north on Dunn and came to the intersection with Grimes. There was no sign to indicate the road was closed. I could not go straight on Dunn across Grimes because a City dump truck and other vehicles had the road entirely blocked. I could not see traffic to the west on Grimes because a City street sweeper was parked right at the intersection blocking the view (and there was another piece of equipment behind it). I could just barely see the intersection at Grimes & Henderson to try to guess if traffic was coming from my east. The City had a big machine parked just east of Dunn on Grimes that had a dump truck backed up to it for tearing up the road surface. I made a decision to go for it, and turned out onto the wrong lane of traffic to go around the construction. There were 5 city employees in bright colors standing on the sidewalk chatting, just watching this traffic hazard. Other people were driving through trying to navigate the broken up road and the blocked streets, intersections, and egress without any assistance from the City employees on the job. This is dangerous. Just close the road! Or put some people in charge of directing traffic so we know when it is safe to proceed and not risk hitting another citizen or getting run over by the various machinery moving about. This was pretty ridiculous even by Bloomington standards (which, are actually quite low it turns out!).
A tree from the median on College Mall Road close to Bloomington Hardware must have fallen and was dragged to the tree row/sidewalk below Windermere Wood. The tree needs to be picked-up whenever possible.
North of Kirkwood on Grant next to the Pizzaria there is a good size chunk of sidewalk missing. A Blind man and his dog use this sidewalk regularly. It is a hazard to him. Please repair soon.
Tree branches fell on sidewalk.
The sidewalk is damaged on The Stands Dr. across from Autumn Drive ever since the city removed a street tree at that location.
This is actually a "sidewalk" issue - the asphalt walkway that passes under the 10th St viaduct has a small but very deep (feet?) pothole in it - it could break someone's leg or ankle if they stepped into it. The hole is just north of the bridge itself.
Sidewalk is raised about 5-6 inches by tree root, making it dangerous for pedestrians and individuals with walkers or wheelchairs. This is on the north side of East Canada drive at 2519.
Hi, we're getting large potholes in Highland Ave north of 1st and south of University at the entrance to the alleyway. Also, I believe the city takes care of the sidewalk/entrance to the alleyway itself, which has also deteriorated in the years since it was last repaired. (I had called the city and watched it repaired.)
