photo taken on east side of rogers, facing north at about 10th street. all 3 of the orange signs here (warning about construction near 16th and rogers) are fully blocking the sidewalk. thats a violation of state law. i respect that full compliance is difficult but *it is not optional*. if it is impossible to provide service for cars without blocking the sidewalk, local ordinance says the sidewalk takes priority! you *must* close the road entirely to drivers if the only alternative is to block the sidewalk on both sides.

this photo is facing north on rogers at 11th street. there are several flaws in the MOT for this project at about 16th and rogers. 1) the sidewalk is closed on the left (west) side, and conpletely obstructed on the right side by a caution sign for motorists (state law says you cannot obstruct bike lanes or sidewalk for temporary signs), so both sidewalks are blocked! 2) the west sidewalk was closed a full 24 hours before any work was begun, including overnight! 3) the west closure is for half a mile between 11th and 17th, but the work only covers about 200ft of this distance. that's insane! people live on both sides of the street and we need local pedestrian access!! thanks!

The sidewalk on Rockport Rd south of W Pinehurst Dr (mostly, in front of 1007 W Pinehurst Rd and, even more so, 2704 Rockport Rd) has been in an almost unusable state for many months, due to the branches of trees and shrubs partially blocking the way, and fallen branches, acorns, etc covering the walkway. This spot is literally the worst section of the entire sidewalk along Rockport Rd (from its beginning at the junction with Rogers St, to its end at Tapp Rd), and now in October it is at its worst. Can the vegetation be trimmed there every now and then, and the dropped vegetation swept out of the people's way, as it is done elsewhere along this street and other streets?

I'm uncertain on exact addresses, there are multiple locations all throughout Bloomington that are overgrown blocking not just sidewalks but hiding stop signs. There needs to be a general cleanup done on all side all trees and signs to make them more visible. Remember college kids suck and like to be the frog in frogger. On sidewalks Im constantly ducking to avoid branches and I'm only 6'1" there are much taller people that have it worse

Work is being done in front of the animal shelter to widen the sidewalk. It looks amazing. The trouble is using the detour while this work is going on. It’s very hard/unsafe to cross the street there and is very unsafe to use the road. Tuesday October 13th I was able to use the detour to get to my destination. On my way home I was not, after 5pm. They blocked it while I was at my destination.
