sedimentation, dirt complaint
The trailhead for the new Powerline Trail has safety/traffic cones that are often blocking the sidewalk and caution tape that's been loosened creating a hazard for cyclists and pedestrians.
There is a curb section that offset and partly 'sinking' beside the drainage grate and near the mailboxes. Across the street on Gentry Blvd, near SR 446, there is a bad section of sidewalks. Thank you.
There is a yellow jacket nest on a tree that hangs right over the sidewalk. Worried that someone could get stung if they walk underneath. Thank you!!
Two broken sidewalk sections, east of the area reported in uReport #212736.
Broken sidewalk. So bad you can see the aggregate pebbles at the curb
There is no sidewalk to link the housing area (West Pointe Edition, Bloomington Apts, etc) to the business area (Buffalo Wild Wings, Subway, health complex. Many people will walk in the street but the road is covered and not lit so it can be dangerous for pedestrians. Especially at night.
Looking to see if a new sidewalk could be built between Adams street and Bloomfield Road. There are already sidewalks up to the intersection of Adams and Allen Street extending a little beyond (in front of the Bloom apartment complex). An extension of this sidewalk to Bloomfield road would connect all residents in this area to other sidewalks in Bloomington.
Dave Askins B Square covered the topic of grinding sidewalks as a less expensive oprion to pouring new concrete. Here's a suggestion: try to find why my ~30+sidewalk (806 S. Park Ave) is almost the only one that hasn't needed repair of any kind. The weak points are the seems at each end. Mine was done as part of the program that allowed residents to get on a waitlist and then pay only for materials (work done by the City I think). Part of the reason may be that the seams and the curbs seem to be just scored lines, i e. aesthetic rather than functional. Whatever the reason it might be worth finding out.
