I live in Canterbury house apartments and use the Bloomington Transit to get around. My daughter (26) and myself are both disabled and have mobility limitations. I would assume that it was from last Wednesday's storms, but there is a large tree branch blocking the sidewalk along basswood between the entrance to Canterbury House Apartments and the bus stop at Forest Ridge Apartments. We had a doctor's appointment this morning and had to be at the bus stop by 7:20AM and was surprised to see such a mess blocking the sidewalk. Since my daughter would be unable step off the sidewalk with her rollater walker to avoid the section that the tree branch covers it meant we had to walk from Canterbury House Apartments entrance to the entrance to Forest Ridge on the road. This was very unsettling for both her and I because we both know how bad cars fly around the corner and how fast they speed through this section. We came in from the bus at 2:25pm today and the tree branch was still there so we took a photo to show.

Sidewalk closed for construction with no alternative. mutcd 6d-1 "pedestrians should be provided with safe, convenient travel path that replicates as nearly as possible the most desirable characteristics of sidewalks". On college, the most desirable characteristic is not crossing college!!!!! This is the context where a quality detour is *more* important than in more walkable settings, but staff has mistakenly determined the exact opposite.

Large shrubs along the Abby Lane side of the 1700 E. Camby Lane property are growing out into the sidewalk area. These impede the line of sight for cars exiting Camby onto Abby (right or left) and also force walkers to move into the street when walking on the east side of Abby Lane. The shrubs are so large that if walkers squeeze in to walk next to them on the sidewalk, it's uncomfortable to do so because they could easily conceal humans or wild animals and are therefore intimidating, especially during evenings and nights.
