Low tree branches obstruct sidewalk right of way from above. Also where 812 and 808 boundary lies, low vines and shrubs obstruct sidewalk from the side.
Dumpster is persistently placed where the horizonal bar, about 5 feet high, sticks out into the public sidewalk right of way. I am worried that a child is going to run down the sidewalk and get a concussion.
Poison ivy growing over sidewalk.
The situation I reported a couple of weeks ago has worsened. The big, commercial trash bins are stored on the University St. sidewalk, often open and with trash in them. This is a trash obstacle course to use the University-side sidewalk of this property.
The street view is fully obstructed by weeds at the intersection of Euclid and 2nd street. When going South on Euclid and attempting to make a left hand turn (east) on 2nd, you cannot see oncoming traffic to your left due to vegetation between the sidewalk and the road. I have almost gotten in an accident twice at this intersection due to pulling out and jot seeing an oncoming car which was blocked by the weeds. This is especially a problem for cars versus trucks due to the height.
New construction site on South Rogers is scattering debris on the road. I live in Clear Creek housing edition and have to travel on South Rogers every day for work. In the past 2 weeks I have had two separate issues with the same brand of screws in my back left tire. I travel on I69 for work and have been traveling at 60 miles an hour with a screw in my tire. This has happened twice in two weeks at no fault of my own. This set of tires is less than 6 months old and today I found out from Royal Mazda that I need to purchase a new tire. This is unacceptable from a point of safety for the South Rogers neighborhood and an additional cost to citizen(s) of Bloomington.
The vegetation obstructing the sidewalk on the Maxwell side of the house has been successfully cut down. But the groundcover still occupies about a third of the width of the sidewalk. Please ask the homeowner to edge or pull up the weeds so that we can use the full width of the sidewalk on Maxwell.
Weeds are obstructing the sidewalk and the view of oncoming traffic on w 2nd street. This is next to 918 W 2nd street
Overgrown ornamental grasses are blocking the sidewalk on High, forcing pedestrians into the street. This is a high-traffic, high pedestrian use corridor. Grasses overgrow the sidewalk every year at this time.
