Wood chips all over the playground. The section near the rules sign is always muddy and flooded. Please fix.
Attn Phil/ and ED, I have doubts a foot more will be deep enough. I have heard the roar of racing water in my backyard. It has moved some of the 30 to 40 pound stones I have placed to slow the erosion. Please consider a deep ditch. Thanks
First, I want to thank you for keeping up with the snow and ice removal over the last several days! I know the city has been extremely busy clearing the snow and ice, and I cannot overstate how much your efforts are appreciated! I do, however, want to alert you to an issue that I've noticed at several intersections/crosswalks in this area. I noticed this issue at both the intersections of Henderson & Atwater and Henderson & Smith (hence why I've chosen a location between the two). I've attached a picture of the intersection at Henderson & Smith [taken at around 10:20 this morning, facing East] to illustrate. These sidewalks have been cleared in one direction (generally toward campus), but the sidewalks that run East/West have been completely blocked off. The ends of these sidewalks are blocked by piles of snow and ice that are 2 or 3 feet tall - taller than the fire hydrants (see picture). This means that anyone who needs to use the sidewalk has to walk out into the road in order to cross the street, which puts both pedestrians and drivers at risk, especially when the rest of the street is covered in ice. Additionally, this is a HUGE accessibility issue - anyone who has mobility issues and/or uses mobility aids, has a service animal, or is similarly impacted by blocked sidewalks will be greatly impacted. These piles of snow will only get worse with the impending snowfall tomorrow, and these will be even more of an issue. Again, I completely understand how busy the city is, and I imagine you're getting similar complaints every couple of minutes. Clearing one sidewalk, however, should not be at the detriment of another. Thank you for your time and your efforts!
Very icy sidewalk, have to go very slow or walk around in snow.
Potential fire hazard caused by plant overgrowth. Severely overgrown grass/plants between the public sidewalk and the Henderson Crossing apartments (the building closest to the intersection of Atwater and Henderson). Several are long enough to drape over the sidewalk. There are outdoor AC/condenser units next to the apartment building, but they're almost completely covered by the grass/weeds. Some of the weeds are taller than the condenser units. General recommendation is to keep 1-3 feet of clearance around these units to prevent objects from blocking the intake for these units. Maybe there's some sort of guard preventing the plants from actually blocking the intake, but I couldn't see any - I only knew the units were there because I could hear them, they're almost completely concealed by overgrowth. (Info current as of early this morning.)
Hi, I have noticed that the landscapers have been down on Shields Ridge to fix yards and put down grass seed. I need to have my yard fixed. I sent in a report a few months ago, and grass seed and straw was put down. But there are still areas of gravel and the yard is uneven from trucks being parked there. Thanks
Utilities removed trees along Graham drive. Drastically increased drainage in our yards in Winslow Farms. A ditch was to be dug in 2017....We were notified 'ran out of time to complete' last year. Needed ASAP. Worked with engineer Phil P.
I'd like to honor the late Billy Graham by changing the Bloomington roads with "Graham" in the name (i.e., East Graham Place, Graham Drive, etc.) to "Billy Graham." Billy Graham Place, Billy Graham Drive, etc. Not sure how to go about this request. Thank you for any assistance.
While walking our dog, the neighbors (5910 S Foxwood Ln) dog (large fluffy yellow) came charging across the street, jumped and took our 80lb lab down by the neck. The neighbors dog never barked or growled, just attacked. I never heard him approaching, even with my hearing aids. My husband saw the dog charging and started yelling since this particular dog has attacked other dogs in the neighborhood. My husband jumped on the dogs, removing the neighbors dog from ours and holding it onto the ground. I ran to our dog and crouched over him in case the other managed to get free. Our son ran to the neighbors door to alert them of their dog. Amber, our neighbor, came out to get her dog and was apologetic. She is having a party and someone opened the door and the dog got out. However, this extremely aggressive and unprovoked behavior by her dog has happened before so I want this on record. I will speak to my neighbor when I calm down. We checked our dog for injuries when we got home and he seems guarded but uninjured.
