Just wanted to make you aware There are no curb cutouts on the sidewalk in front of 606 S. College Ave. I hope this will be fixed to make it safe for wheelchairs and stroller users. Thanks
Felled tree blocking portion of sidewalk at 601 S. Woodlawn Ave.
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.
I spend multiple hours over multiple days clearing the piles of snow that were plowed into my driveway by the City plows in my cul de sac. Yesterday, I had cleared it all. Then, a plow came and blocked half of my driveway again while also fully covering my mailbox as to be completely inaccessible. The end of my street would have been in better condition if it had never been plowed. If the drivers are unwilling or unable to move the snow into the areas between houses, then why bother doing it at all? I'm only requesting some common sense here. I appreciate the road crews, but if the turning radius is too tight for the plow to even function, then maybe only plow the straightaways.
Can't zone in on the location. It's the north-south alley running from Atwater to Hunter, just east of the Subway on Atwater, right before 914 Atwater, about halfway down. Where the pavement turns to gravel, there is a bad drop-off that could do real damage if a driver didn't see it (under snow or in the dark).
Branches are at the sidewalk easement
Accessible parking spot is inaccessible with piles of snow
There is a large pothole on the north side of the circular median between 500 and 501 South Arbutus that needs to be filled in. This pothole is caused in part by city garbage, recycling, and snow plow trucks that are too large to turn around in in the cul-de-sac. I reported this problem earlier this week. The ticket was marked as "resolved" but nothing was done.
I was using my power chair to travel to the other side of Landmark Avenue to find a working crosswalk. When I got to the portion of sidewalk that borders the Anderson Medical Product's back parking lot (where they park all their vans), there was a curb with no curb cut, so I couldn't get onto the sidewalk.
