Tree on property is growing out across sidewalk at a height well below 8 feet, impeding pedestrian access.
Tree on property is growing out across sidewalk at a height well below 8 feet, impeding pedestrian access.
Overgrowth and trees on this property encroach significantly on the sidewalk making pedestrian access difficult. In addition, the property is overrun with highly invasive plants, including tree of heaven, multiflora rose, and many others.
Tree branches overhang 9th St. sidewalk at Butler Park hanging lower than five feet--impassable without ducking or leaving sidewalk--very difficult for elderly pedestrians. Hard to understand why the city is issuing citations for minor aesthetic violations when their own property has significant issues with accessibility, unmowed grass, and poison ivy next to walkways. Come on, Bloomington. Stop empowering harassment and instead prioritize violations that actually impede safety and access.

This morning at approximately 8:05AM on October 18, 2018 a guy driving a delivery truck bed full of materials decides to stop at 10th and Rogers with no indication and causes a full stop for myself and a city block full of cars stuck. Rogers is a one way street at this point and because of the height of the truck, we cannot see if traffic is coming down the other way to pass around the truck. After sitting in my car for over 5 minutes and watching the truck driver run out to the construction site with no indication of when he's coming back, I rolled down my window to ask a nearby construction driver if someone can come direct traffic. I realize that's not his job but he didn't even dignify my question with a response. This is frustrating because despite all the delayed construction projects at the city, county and state level, the City has usually been pretty good about these types of things. If this is going to happen again, someone needs to be directing one way traffic flow. Also, I thought this 10th street corridor between Rogers and Morton was also supposed to be open by October 15th but now I see the information is gone from the city website.
There is a large trailer with someone living in it parked on Maple Street just North of 8th Street. It is taking up at least two parking spaces and they are using large chunks of limestone to keep it from rolling downhill. It has an extension cord going all the way across Maple Street plugged into a home. It has been parked there for at least three weeks.
Hi, There is a large old travel trailer parked on Maple Street, between 8th and 9th Streets. It has been there for at least a month. There is an electric cord stretched across Maple from the house across the street that has been connected for at least the past week. It appears that the owner is "camping" on a public street. The trailer is an eye-sore, is not mounted on stable footings, and is taking up several parking spaces for the neighborhood. The location and size of the trailer make it difficult to see around the corner when approaching the intersection. Is living in a trailer on a public street allowed? Thanks for looking into this.
Tennant from 801 W 7th constantly parks in yellow no parking zone on South East corner of Maple at W 7th. Has been parked there for hours today there have been a few near misses as cars have to pull way out onto W 7th to see cross traffic.
