Blocked Sidewalk
540 S Basswood DR
- Case Date:
- 5/15/2017
I live in Canterbury house apartments and use the Bloomington Transit to get around. My daughter (26) and myself are both disabled and have mobility limitations. I would assume that it was from last Wednesday's storms, but there is a large tree branch blocking the sidewalk along basswood between the entrance to Canterbury House Apartments and the bus stop at Forest Ridge Apartments. We had a doctor's appointment this morning and had to be at the bus stop by 7:20AM and was surprised to see such a mess blocking the sidewalk. Since my daughter would be unable step off the sidewalk with her rollater walker to avoid the section that the tree branch covers it meant we had to walk from Canterbury House Apartments entrance to the entrance to Forest Ridge on the road. This was very unsettling for both her and I because we both know how bad cars fly around the corner and how fast they speed through this section. We came in from the bus at 2:25pm today and the tree branch was still there so we took a photo to show.

A large 'Envirosac' filled with waste concrete from a sidewalk repair has been sitting for weeks in the tree plot next to the sidewalk at 535 S. Wash. There is also a lot of gravel and other debris still covering the sidewalk in the repair area. It is a safety hazard, as well as making our neighborhood less attractive.

Street Snow Removal
530 W Ladd AVE

I spend multiple hours over multiple days clearing the piles of snow that were plowed into my driveway by the City plows in my cul de sac. Yesterday, I had cleared it all. Then, a plow came and blocked half of my driveway again while also fully covering my mailbox as to be completely inaccessible. The end of my street would have been in better condition if it had never been plowed. If the drivers are unwilling or unable to move the snow into the areas between houses, then why bother doing it at all? I'm only requesting some common sense here. I appreciate the road crews, but if the turning radius is too tight for the plow to even function, then maybe only plow the straightaways.

NW corner 1st and Henderson. A very large and very dead maple tree hangs over sidewalk and street. Neighbors are very concerned about falling dead limbs or possibly the entire tree given we are headed into the windy/icy/snow season.
