Weeds growing out and covering sidewalk on NW corner of property (Lincoln and alley intersection.)
Greetings. Could someone please cut back the vegetation at the southwest corner of where 11th st. intercepts Fairview. It has blocked visibility from both directions and is causing a safety issue. There is also signage that is being hidden. Thank you kindly! Addendom: I am a pedestrian not a motorist. It has become unsafe for pedestrians at an intersection that is already dangerous due to motorists speeding from three directions. Thank you.
from Kinser Pike to 624 W Parrish Road the trees and bushes have grown out over the sidewalk so it is hard to walk along there (the sidewalk in on the N side of Parrish Road.
Last week there was another accident, homeowner continues to grow "wildflowers" and does not maintain growth to a reasonable height, vegetation blocks line of sight and is very dangerous.
Overhanging tree branches in front of the church in the 1600 bloc of E Second Street; sidewalk completely blocked by branches from a shrub on E Second Street between Mitchell and Swain.
There are shrubs/trees sticking out and hanging low over the sidewalk at the south edge of the new Switchyard Apartments. Additionally, the sidewalk is overgrown with dirt, sand, and grass such that it is inaccessible by wheelchair and possibly for those with other mobility devices. This is of great concern because there is a tenant moving in the apartments soon who uses a wheelchair and will be needing to access the sidewalk to travel to Bloomington Transit bus stops on South Rogers and intersection for safe crossing. Thank for taking care of this for her and other pedestrians who are inconvenienced by these obstructions.
347 south maple ave. Sidewalk nearly completely covered by bush. Unable to walk on sidewalk.
Front yard bushes are overgrown, impeding sidewalk foot traffic.
shrubs growing over the sidewalk and you have to walk in the grass to get around them
I knew Longview and Pete Ellis were getting some apartments built in that lot, but apparently it is going to be more than usually allowed? I am SUPER concerned that you're going to be packing extra students (almost all will have cars) on a road that is NOT designed for heavy traffic but SUPPOSEDLY a bike path for bikes. It might be great, but what are the extra precautions taking place to ensure students zipping in and out won't disrupt the greenway and kill cyclists? Hoping some will be cyclists, but realistically there is going to be a lot of in and out speedy traffic there for what was a very calm road fantastic for biking. Want to make sure it's not overlooked. Also, anything big built east of College is going to experience major backup on rush hour times at College and 3rd. I know it's a state intersection but the city needs to look into it and factor in the ability of that intersection to take on more traffic. Something needs to change there. It literally clogs (outside of a pandemic) constantly with left turn traffic from 3rd turning south to College, which block eastbound 3rd street. Time and again. Part of the problem is it clogs at the next light (the city's I would imagine) by Fazoli's as the lights aren't coordinated well if at all. So two concerns: not a bad place to live, including for students - way better than century village hotel, but make sure the bike path remains safe! This can't be presumed. That area will change big time and cyclists need reassurance. And 2) light at 3rd and College is going to be negatively impacted and timing or something needs to be looked at there. The east/west greenway I was hoping was going to be getting ENHANCEMENTS in the next year or two, not becoming a motorist highway :( Thank you.
