Hey guys - I know you guys have a busy night but its 9pm and the plows haven't touched this part of the street yet. They usually hit it when they do 8th. I'm at work now and I'm a little worried I won't be able to make it when I get home.
I am writing to report a broken tree limb that poses a safety concern. It appears that the limb was damaged during the storm we experienced at the end of March 2023. The tree in question is located on city land outside of my property boundary at 1301 W. 8th Street in Bloomington. The broken limb is specifically situated at the intersection of Adams Street and 8th Street, where there is a significant amount of pedestrian traffic. The footpath visible in the attached picture is frequently used by pedestrians crossing from the sidewalk on Adams Street onto 8th Street. The presence of the broken tree limb in this area creates a potential safety hazard for pedestrians. Additionally, there is a slight concern that the broken limb obstructs the view of the Adams Street bridge for drivers turning right onto Adams Street from Fountain. This obstruction may affect the visibility of oncoming traffic, potentially leading to traffic incidents or delays. I kindly request that the relevant department of Bloomington takes immediate action to address this issue. It is crucial to ensure the safety of pedestrians and motorists in the area by removing the broken tree limb and conducting any necessary tree maintenance or inspection. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. Should you require any additional information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at. I appreciate your efforts in maintaining the safety and well-being of our community.
Can the City not require the Indiana Railroad to install some type of flashing light, larger warning sign or something to help prevent this from happening? There has been an increasing amount of trucks hitting this bridge, at least 6 in the past year that I'm aware of.

I was in my car turning from Fountain Drive onto North Adams Street to head south. There is consistently low visibility for vehicles coming from the train tracks, even when the foliage is cut and maintained, so that's not relevant to my issue. It looked clear after checking twice, so I went. As I was in the process of turning, I saw that a vehicle had gotten over the train tracks and was heading my way, but I was already out in the process of turning, so I had to complete my turn. This caused aggressive behavior from the driver, who I believe had already been speeding down Adams. They started to tailgate my vehicle. I needed to turn to go east (and additionally needed to come to a complete stop to do so because there was a line of traffic heading north), but they were tailgating my vehicle to the point that I could not complete a turn until Patterson Drive, forcing me to turn around and come back North on Adams.
Car hasn't been moved in over two months. It's blocking us from mowing that section of our yards and also blocking trash truck access.
Please send street cleaner to Waterman addition. Adams, Fountain, and 8th Streets have refuse, dirt, and weeds, that need a scrubbing by curbs and drains. Accident debris by RR track needs professional help.
