There are snakes and at least one skunk in this yard. We've been trying to walk our pets down the sidewalk and the snakes come out of this yard into the sidewalk area. The skunks are living in the back yard area in this yard.
I noticed a large bald hornet nest in a city tree in the treeplot in front of 715 West 13th Street. City employees (trash collection), postal workers, and members of the public regularly walk down this sidewalk and they will be walking directly under this nest. My understanding is that bald hornets are quite aggressive, and this is unsafe. I hope the City can remove it quickly. Thank you. (Not sure if you can see it or not in the photo, it is quite large)
This dog runs loose through our neighborhood and I've seen it running on the sidewalk of State Rd 46. I am always concerned it will be hit by a car and injured. I see it on my camera in my yard all the time, but today I see it and it looks like it has scratches on its back and it is limping (see picture). It seems like a friendly dog but I'm just worried about it. I believe the owner is at the address listed. I sometimes see it running around with another dog that looks very similar as well. I'm not sure if the same person owns both dogs.
Dead deer on the sidewalk.
Dead deer on the sidewalk of high street just north of Faith Lutheran Church.
Looks like a dying young raccoon on the road/sidewalk outside this address. It was curled up in a ball but moved it's ears when it heard me walk by - didn't move it's body at all though.
: A dead possum is lying on the sidewalk in front of this house.
The house at the corner of Clifton and E First Street (I think it is 713 Clifton) often has 2 dogs in the yard that ferociously bark at pedestrians who use the sidewalk there (there is no sidewalk on the other side of the street). I walk there after dark occasionally and the first time they just about gave me a heart attack. I was afraid the German shepherd would jump over the fence and attack me. Maybe something for an animal control officer to take a look at. U report 188709
low hanging tree branches and bushes blocking sidewalk. one branch looks dangerous.
Is it possible to have a crosswalk painted on 3rd at Rose? Today I saw a blind person trying to make the crossing. Per the email below, a few years ago, it seemed this was a possibility. Yes. There will be marked crosswalks on 3rd at Rose. On Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 10:51 AM, Schertz, Hannah H. <hschertz@indiana.edu> wrote: Thanks for the response. I have noticed the bike stripes. My concern is crossing 3rd at Rose as a pedestrian. Is there any chance of a crosswalk there? Thanks, Hannah -- Hannah Schertz, Ph.D. Indiana University School of Education 201 N Rose Ave. Bloomington, IN 47405 812-856-8146 From: Adrian Reid <reida@bloomington.in.gov> Date: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 10:49 AM To: HSchertz <hschertz@indiana.edu> Subject: uReport request Good morning, Thank you for your uReport request regarding Rose Avenue. At this point, the likelihood of a sidewalk on Rose Avenue is very low. You probably have noticed changes on 3rd Street as a result of the City's Greenways Implementation Plan, however. Rose Avenue in the segment you describe is designated as a neighborhood greenway as well. So you will see some additional signage and striping at the 3rd & Rose intersection if you haven't already. Thank you again for your uReport request. Thanks, Adrian
