Overgrowth
Overgrowth
Large unused goal post laying in yard for over a year.
In this area lots of overgrowth growing on the sidewalk area. You can not see to get onto second street from the alley between 912 and 918 w 2nd. Plus trees are hanging low in that alley and scratching up cars. The sidewalk there needs some repairs done and really needs to be handicapped-accessible. The few will chairs that go through there have a really hard time getting over that. I'm sure there's many other places like that along that road.
Too many places to take pictures. Overgrowth is getting out of control. Alexander ally its just awful you can not drive your car on it with out scratching it up. All other Alleys are getting just as bad in this area. The way bushes have been planted on the citys bumouts/ traffic calming is impossible to see around the corners. The corner of 10th and summit is not safe you have to get in the middle of the road to see and i have had many near misses with other cars. Getting off of 10th and adams is bad. The round about on cottage and summit is awful Someone needs to come out and inspect the entire neighbor hood. Plus on adams is a vacant lot that has gotten way over grown. Just so many places in this area that need attention.sorry i may have sent this already but i got disconnected and not sure if it went.
On May 23, 2021, at 5:30 am I was driving south on N Rogers to deliver my brother to Bloomington Hospital for surgery. At about 9th street (at the B line trail) I ran directly into a curb that juts out into the road. It was dark out and raining, and this road obstruction was poorly lit and not marked with a reflector ot in any other way. I ruined an almost new tire and will surely need an alignment. We walked the rest of the way to the hospital, in the dark and rain, because we couldn’t get a cab and time was short. Going back in the daylight I see that the southbound lane makes a jog to the center to accommodate this jutting out curb. Going south the right most lane becomes a parking lane, but there were no cars at all parked there so this was not apparent when approaching from the north. In the daylight this configuration is easy to see, but not in the dark and rain. I’ve enclosed a photo taken from in front of Carpenter Realty showing how dramatically this curb juts out into the road. I have other photos that I will try to send separately. (I think this report is limited to one photo. ) Two of my photos show show that the jutting out curb is blackened from tires and scared from wheel rims that preceded me into this trap. If I had a tire store I would open a branch in the big parking lot just south of Carpenter and stay open through the night. Besides reconfiguring this lane transition there are several easy solutions: - Light this curb better. - Put a reflector on it. - use a “ramp” or “transition” curb, as we see at all the new roundabouts.

Property has not been mowed all year.
My office is located at 2909 S Sare Rd. There was some work done on Sare Rd and a sign was placed by my office but has yet to be removed. Can someone come by to remove it?
House appears to be vacant and in disrepair. Completely overgrown.
Pile of yard debris on the south side of the creek needs to be removed as there's a family of skunks living in it. Debris has been there for years but all previous homeowners claim it's "too hard" to clean that side of the creek when the city didn't provide them with a way across it.
