I bicycle commute from Park Ridge East to Indiana Ave. following the bicycle path along the railroad. Due to the bypass construction last week I had to cross the working site where the path meets the bypass, or one time I crossed at the light on 10th street. This morning my crossing was muddy. Detours for bicycles require more effort than detours for cars, especially in a hilly town like Bloomington. Moreover, they might require bicyclist to engage in high traffic stretches of roads or unsafe roads, as in the case I describe above. It appears to me that inconveniences and changes affecting car drivers are taken into account when construction works are planned. It does not appear to me that the needs of bicyclist are ever taken into account in these occasions. What is the plan you have in place for those following my commuting route? For how long I will have to expect construction on the bypass affecting my commute? Thank you, Stefano Fiorini

Along Hagan St., which is at the rear of my property on Stonegate Ct., a mature Bradford Pear was split during the storms over the weekend. A large portion of the tree is now blocking the sidewalk, and I'm trying to determine the responsibility for clean-up. By my understanding, the tree is on city property as it sits between the sidewalk and Hagan St., but I understand that it may still be my responsibility. Please advise.

If possible, I would like to see the sidewalk on the south side of East 2nd Street (between Highland Ave and Ballantine) made available for walking. There are big bushes that perpetually extend far into the sidewalk and no one is able to walk or run on it. Thank you!

I am here to report a safety issue on the location above. There is a tree branch laying on top of the street for almost one year. It seems the branch can fall on the street anytime. Please take care of it before it hurts any one. Thank you.

alley off of Curry Pike before W 3rd that goes into Highland Village: The rental store often blocks the alley with their van almost daily. Also, the laundry mat blocks the alley with cars and uses the whole alley with about 5 people sorting clothes on a weekly basis.
