Recently repaired sidewalk blocks are staggered creating a trip hazard
Poisin Ivy is growing on the Woodlawn side. There is also now poison ivy growing across the street at the house on the NE corner of Woodlawn and First. 730 Woodlawn also has honeysuckle plant that is hanging low over the sidewalk. There are generally a lot of weeds in the yard and the sidewalk has a lot of debris on it.
Broken panel on the sidewalk in front of location.
The company that installed this created a hazard that could cause an injury when someone gets out of their car etc. This should be removed and filled or fixed.
Unsafe curb damage, north edge of Kirkwood between College and Walnut, dead center, opposite the south steps to the Courthouse. This is a trip/stumble hazard, which I know because I fell on my face there at about 4:15pm on 5/1/25. There is other curb damage along the same edge, and I believe the cutout around the lamp post is also a hazard. If anything still hurts in the morning, I will get medical attention. And your submission form doesn't work in Firefox.
In Spring/Summer 2023, utilities contractors excavated a hole approximately 3x3 in the sidewalk that crosses the driveway for our home located at 3702 E Reed Ct. Bloomington IN. They were installing fiber optic or another cable -- AT&T or GigaBit or some other contractor. This hole was filled with dirt and then they "fitted the broken concrete pieces" back in the hole. Needless to say, it sank about 4". Then they poured concrete on top of the hole. They then ground down the edges to even out their work. It was a poor job and it is now unsightly and a serious tripping hazard. I've seen city workers replacing sections of sidewalks in Hyde Park and elsewhere. I would like to request that this section of sidewalk be added to the list of sidewalk repairs/replacements. Please let me know if you need additional details. Thank you for addressing this issue.
The City has run an over-sized pruner along the sidewalk of our backyard, tearing up the ground and my flowers next to the sidewalk (depicted by the yellow circle in the picture). A piece of fence picket (blue arrow) of our neighbor's 2 houses away was torn down and thrown behind our fence. Our next door neighbor's hostas plants were also damaged. I don't know how the City can revive our plants, but the muddy sidewalk and the hanging clippings need to be cleaned up. We have been keeping our section of the sidewalk clear and clean. We appreciate the City trying to clear the entire length of the sidewalk, however an appropriate machinery needs to be used so as not to do more damage than good. The crew had done a very poor job in this case. I hope no heavy pruning machine will be used on the sidewalk in the future, especially after the City had just repaired these cracked sidewalk.
sidewalk very grungy because garage bags dragged across walk to alley dumpster. Business needs to scrub clean. also large uneven crack in sidewalk...dangerous tripping.
The pavement in front of our driveway seems to be sinking, which has now resulted in a large height difference between the asphalt and the concrete gutter/curb. Would it be possible to repair the sinking asphalt?
