This is a part of a sidewalk on Winslow between Henderson and Piccadilly and is on the south side of Winslow. It has been like this for a few years, has been previously reported by me and our HOA at Sherwood Green with nothing done. Many people walk/run/skateboard/bike on this sidewalk. There is a man in a wheel chair who uses this sidewalk. It is particularly hazardous during winter with the ice/snow. Please fix this!
Temporary Signage w/o permit
813 W Kirkwood AVE
- Case Date:
- 10/14/2020
There is a sign advertising an AirBnB rental attached to a tree on the property at 813 Kirkwood Ave. The tree is one of two on either side of the alley next to the property, and is located on the berm between the street and the sidewalk, and so appears to be in the city's Right of Way. As far as I understand it, this signage is in violation of the Bloomington Municipal Code, Title 12 (Streets, Sidewalks, and Storm Drains), Chapter 24.080 (Trees and Flora), Ord. 08-06 ยง 2 (part), 2008) - Prohibited actions, which states "(2) No person shall do any of the following to trees subject to these provisions:
(b) Attach any wires, nails, chains, cables, advertising posters or any other contrivance"
I would appreciate it if the city removed this sign and prevented such actions by the landlord in the future.
Street Snow Removal

There is a paved alley behind the 200 block of South Maple Street that at least 8 residences use as the primary means of entering and exiting their homes. It is impossible for me at 214 1/2 Maple Street to actually exit onto Maple Street because of the narrow drive and the snow accumulation. Please kindly consider plowing this alley.

Hi, just putting a request in for snow removal for the alley I live on if/when you're able to get to it. My house is in the alley between Kirkwood and 4th, and there's been no plowing here since it began snowing a week or two ago. It's normally not a big issue other than the ice that builds up and makes walking dangerous, but after this storm I'm pretty well blocked in completely. The complicating factor is that this is a fairly narrow alley, with a drainage ditch at one point that can make navigating it with large equipment dicey - I wouldn't recommend anything bigger than a pickup with a plow come through, if you are in fact able to dispatch anyone here anytime soon. I understand that even if you can it may be a while, but wanted to put the request in regardless, as the postal service is having a less than ideal time getting down here and the snow compacts into ice if it isn't cleared. I'd very much appreciate it if you can make it, even if it won't be for a bit. Many thanks either way!

Car parked blocking driveway since early this morning or last night. License plate 746YH and is a tan Hyundai. Not stuck in snow, but several others have tried to access this shared drive (other than myself) and the car is entirely blocking the way.

The grassy area in between the sidewalk & street in front of 521 W. Kirkwood has several sinkholes. It is hazardous for people waiting for the bus. Who is responsible for filling these in--the city or the property owner Tom Gallagher? If it's the city, which dept? Don't know of there are pipes under that area.Thanks.
Blocked Sidewalk
505 W 4th ST

Since this building is no longer a garage, it seems that a full curb should be installed to prevent people from pulling up on the sidewalk.
There are constantly cars parked on the sidewalk here (several feet in past the yellow painted curb (which is flattened because it used to be a garage). I asked the tenants to stop, and then today a dumpster showed up on the sidewalk. This is the North side of the "FAR" gallery building at fourth and rogers.
Obviously this is frustrating to me but it's probably pretty annoying for the kid in a wheelchair who i see going back and forth to school and having to cross the street to get around.

These tenants never put back their trash and recycling bins. The sidewalk is narrow and the road busy. I sometimes have to take my dog into busy 3rd St. to get around the bins. Problem is at 411 3rd St. and has been an ongoing problem.
