Handrails to an apartment building protrude onto the sidewalk. My last report received some bs response that it was required by building code and I'll make a side bet that the building code does not allow intrusions into the sidewalk. So I'm complaining again and looking for the correct response, which is not to ignore this situation. I would also note that similar handrails on the interior drives of this development do NOT encroach on their private spaces as they do onto this public sidewalk.

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

The sign, tire pieces, and tall grass are blocking the sidewalk. Pedestrians have to climb over or walk out into the rod to get around the clutter. This situation has been there for over a couple of weeks now.

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?

Lyft/Bird e bike left in front of wheelchair ramp blocking sidewalk making it impossible for the visually impaired, wheelchairs, canes, walkers, baby trollies, families holding hands with toddlers, grocery carts, etc to access sidewalk. While, yes, carrying nothing I can step around, I am speaking up for neighbors who cannot, and because this isn't an instance of just one sidewalk being blocked, but constantly walking around town and seeing multiple blocked sideways because of these rental scooters and bikes. Often, the people hired to charge them like to leave them in auspicious places while ignoring the needs of disabled community members or those who need full access to ramps and sidewalks. These neighbors could fall trying to steer into the grass or mud. Not sure how a city like Bloomington is supposed to regulate something like this. Been an epidemic ever since they were introduced, and those delivery bots around campus also expect people to just go around. They just stop in the middle of the sidewalk delivering Chipotle or whatever flashing 8-bit heart-shaped eyes at you like, "Go around me!" Well, some friends and Bloomington neighbors literally can't. [end rant] Thank you, HAND and city of Bloomington. Let's keep our town safe and civil.

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.

There is a big dumpster on the side of the road. I thought it was against city ordinance to have dumpsters on public Street and it’s making it impossible for us to park and drive through the area at night.
