Large tree limb has fallen and is blocking sidewalk off of Burks Dr and Walnut Street Pike
Northeast corner of Washington and Grimes. This tall grass makes it very difficult to see traffic coming south on Washington, pedestrians, cyclists. The grass is 6 or 8 ft tall and very wide. It needs to be trimmed and removed.
In installing a main fiber line, Trueline/AEG or its partner, removed the asphalt at the edge of the street and cut out a foot wide section of the city's paved drainage ditch. Erosion has occurred and further breakup of asphalt is likely. The area needs to be repaired and patched by someone.
sidewalk on west side of college ave, about 300ft south of 3rd street. this barricade was in place on july 1, 8, 15, and 22. this photo is from july 22. see ureport 203907. on july 22, after taking this photo, i moved the barricade into the adjacent parking space. i'm not sure what it looks like today (july 24). it seems like Duke never re-opened the sidewalk when they finished their work?? is that why they were allowed to close it for 3 straight weeks? thanks! - Greg
This is an all-way stop with marked stop signs and crosswalks. Unfortunately, many drivers (mostly on Winslow going East or West) do not stop at all. And there are quite a few that don't even slow down if they presume no vehicles are close enough to hit them for speeding through unabated. A few anemic attempts to place police near the intersection at haphazard intervals hasn't really had a beneficial impact. This intersection is very busy and is a frequent crossing for pedestrians and cyclists along with school children. I have seen other communities that have purchased solar powered flashing stop signs that significantly increase attention to the sign. Or, to monitor the scope of the issue, and maybe levy some tickets, can one of the mobile police observation hubs (I see them at the Seminary Square Kroger parking lot) be placed at the intersection. I don't ever feel safe coming any direction in or out of my own neighborhood. With all of the out of town students and faculty returning soon, the problem isn't going to get any better. This has been a pervasive issue for the roughly 8 years I've lived in this neighborhood.
One of the baracades from the new convention center build (in the back of our Music academy) was placed in a way where it is blocking access to one of our parking spaces. It seems to be placed outside of the gate that they erected and not on their property. It would be great if you could have them move it over so that we can access are parking. Also, there is a lot asphalt debris being left on our property as well from digging around that area.
Utility of Bloomington truck cleaned up trash on Monday 7/21/2025, and caused a lawn damage in front of my house right next to a utility cover. I’d like to have someone to check and fix the lawn. Thanks.
There are 4 planters on this street that have overgrown bushes that need trimmed and maintained.
The side walk going towards 2nd street on Allen the trees r grown covering the sidewalk making it unable to see while walking ur dog at night thought maybe it could use some weed whacking and tree trimming
Overgrown bushes at above address do not allow for safe crossing at stop sign driving east on Davis Street. Looks to me like the bushes are going to have to be removed all the way back to the ground. Not just trimmed a little bit. Thank you for your help!
