543 park ridge has collapsed dangerous sidewalk. Hazard for trip and accessibility. Yellow house across street has fully deteriorated inaccessible sidewalk practically gravel
Sidewalk is broken up. Looks like from plumbing line work
The sidewalks on Sare Road between Spicewood (as of the morning of 6/4/24) and the roundabout on Winslow have brush that is overgrown to the point that is narrows the sidewalk down so much that only 1 person can walk through. There are also thorn bushes that will scratch you if you meet someone at the same time either walking, running or biking. The sidewalk is also overgrown from the roundabout at the top of the hill on Winslow down to the roundabout at the Jackson Creek trail and then up High Street. These sidewalks are used a lot but the efficiency is greatly diminished since much of it is interrupted by brush. I'm not sure if this is the city's or the property owner's responsibility but it would be great if this could be addressed. Thank you.
Sidewalk at the corner of 7th and Dunn. I am not in a wheelchair but was pushing a stroller. It was nearly impossible for me so I can't even imagine the difficult a wheelchair would have maneuvering this sidewalk. Much of the surrounding sidewalk is fairly damaged as well but this was the most severe.
Uneven sidewalk near my house on W. 4th
This sidewalk is so uneven that I cannot navigate it safely with my power chair. Even if we are going to the WonderLab, we usually cross to the south side of the street for this block and then back to the north side again to continue on our way.
We have these nice wide sidewalks in Bloomington to use, however, properties are not being maintained and the overgrowth blocks a large portion of them. Sare Road from Spicewood all the way down to Rhorer road has a lot of overgrowth. I've had my face cut by thorns when I met another runner at the same time and had to run through the brush that was in the sidewalk. The roundabout about at Sare and Winslow down to Jackson creek roundabout is also overgrown. Particularly the bridge area at Jackson Creek. These areas need trimmed down and edging to get full use of the sidewalks. These are heavily traveled paths that are not being maintained.
I would like to report that the sidewalk on the southwest corner of Ballantine and 2nd is in need of repair.
