Light pole knocked over at corner of South Ct and Olcott.
When someone in a wheelchair approaches the Community Kitchen or the bus stop there, from Switchyard Park, they are met with an obstacle at the very last step. I know someone who uses a wheelchair, who lives in Switchyard Apts. To get to the Community Kitchen, or to that paticular bus stop, she can't just take the sidewalk on the East side of Rogers. The sidewalk ends right before the bridge (which is infuriating, in and of itself). She could go around, through the path in the park to get there, but then she would run into this issue, where there is no sidewalk, or slope from the Switchyard path to this bus stop, this section of sidewalk, and the community kitchen. Please repair it. It is a tiny patch of sidewalk, could have been done when all the switchyard paths were being built. Do it now. Thank you.
The map is showing this incorrect - it is the light blue house (https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1163-S-Weatherstone-Ln_Bloomington_IN_47401_M41122-50728), not the tan house. There are 5-6 cars parked at this house most of the time and they park blocking the sidewalk. This house is an airbnb home. We are a residential community, thus there should only be 3 people or 1 family living in this home.
This individual regularly parks over the sidewalk with one car, and the wrong way with the other car (both pictured). Additionally, only 1 individual lives in this house, but he has 5 cars. His property is also not kept up at all, regularly storing large appliances on his front porch (like washers and dryers) failing to repair gutters and siding, and allowing excessive overgrowth in his front yard. He brings the home values of the whole street down with his neglect.
Why is this house allowed to have a paved parking area that blocks the sidewalk? They have a driveway is a two car garage on the west side of the house.
Please cut low hanging limb. We cleaned up rest of sidewalk.
Public sidewalk is obstructed by tree and flora overgrowth. Not pruned to 8 ft for sidewalk, not pruned to 15 ft for street.
First off, the B-line is trashed. The woods on the edge of the trail are absolutely covered in trash. There were fires lit, and the creek to carrying the trash down to our more major waterways. Now, the residents of this camp are driving cars to their encampments along the b-line, blocking the trails, and making enormous ruts in the trail and grass along the side of the trail. Furthermore, I am a large white, male. I was concerned for my safety (ON THE B-LINE) as three (obvious methamphetamine enthusiasts) came out of the woods while I was passing by. Their behavior was not normal, and being three of them would scare most people from using this important public space - including myself.
Sidewalk not been cleared of snow and ice. I’ve never seen the owners clear the sidewalk.
