Sidewalks along S Westplex Ave in front of the Wheeler Mission are continuously occupied by, on average, 10 to 20 unhoused people living in their parked cars and sleeping on the sidewalk, causing obstructions to the road and sidewalk for residents of the Westplex apartment complex and retirement community.
There are dozens of potholes -- some several inches deep and more than a foot wide -- on this street. If you turn onto Williamsburg from East Third Street and head north, you will see them in front of Arby's and also as you continue heading north until you reach the area between Best Buy and Barnes and Noble.
Vegetation is blocking half of the sidewalk in the 200 block of E 3rd. I could cite many other examples, but thus one blocked me today. Thank you.
The base of a persimmon tree in the easement along the road has a partially rotted trunk.
There needs to be 1 or 2 streetlights put it on east 12th street between Grant street and North Walnut. It is especially dark in between Lincoln and Washington street and at night you cannot see the sidewalk at all. Most people living on E12th street are students, many of whom have night classes ending as late as 9 or 10pm. My roommates and I specifically have classes ending at 8:30 and 9 when the streets are too dark to see anything. With the current atmosphere in Bloomington, many residents of 12th street feel unsafe walking home from class, work, or to their neighbors. Installing A street lamp or two would greatly improve the safety and comfort of people living on E 12th street. The attached photo shows just how dark the sidewalk is with out a flash light at night. No one should have to feel afraid of walking down their own street at 8pm and the addition of street lamps on E12th street can help fix this.
The lights on 4th St and college/walnut are very out of sync. Once I can go west through walnut towards college, the light is already changing. I feel like this whole area had just recently become like this. 3rd Street is really bad to, going east.
The issue is that this broken concrete is in front of a wheelchair ramp that can make it difficult to get onto the ramp as you are trying to go up it. The concrete probably needs to be redone.
Excessive growth of grass
House on west side of Adams Street has boarded up windows and lawn has not been mowed.
Street light at turn off from S. College onto Dodds has been out for a year. I've reported this light three times before.
