Sidewalks on both sides of Henderson between Maxwell and 1st still blocked. Multiple properties, both sides. Probably blocked further north, too, but I had to detour to Fess to avoid walking in traffic on very busy Henderson. It's been since 1/26 for owners to shovel. Dangerous conditions on a busy walking/commute route.
Snow is blocking the sidewalk along E Hillside.
Snow has not been removed for almost half of the extent on the East Side of S Sare Rd from E Moores Pike to E Rodgers. Additionally, the removal on the West side of Sare is inadequate in many places, which could produce twisted ankles for pedestrians.
There are eight (!) trash bins lined up on the sidewalk in front of this house. Why do these tenants produce so much trash that they need so many bins? Is the building over-occupied? And why are the bins continually sitting on the sidewalk when they are supposed to be out of sight during the week?
Snow blocking the sidewalk along E Hillside Dr.
The greenway trail connection between south Bline and Bryan street/broadview neighborhood has not been maintained. There is thick snow on the path. I fell while biking my son home from school. We do not have access to a car, so biking is our only option. Why is there still snow on this high traffic area?
Trash receptacles left streetside for three weeks.
Dead animal in road
Azalea sidewalk along Winslow Woods never got cleared and Parks and Rec refuses to do so causing South students and residents to walk on the narrow road.
I would like to express some disappointment in the overall process for the Kirkwood closures. I made the mistake of watching 2/4's city council meeting and was surprised at the level of outrage that some individuals had due to the city recognizing that what exists currently is insufficient and a drain of city resources. I can certainly appreciate why businesses on/right around Kirkwood would want to give their business an essentially free boost of revenue but missing from this equation is how it impacts non-Kirkwood businesses. It seems all is framed to help these bars and restaurants out but it seems if you go down there when the Kirkwood is open that they're already doing just fine. Further, the city did mention that there is approximately $80k in lost revenue, plus the staff drain...if we do end up closing it, maybe we should consider permit fees high enough to recoup these costs instead of giving them this PUBLIC space for the current nominal amount. Mostly I just want to state that while I look forward to a thoughtful Kirkwood redesign in the future that does expand options for businesses, residents, and visitors alike, Bloomington is much, much, much more than Kirkwood! I would love to see us start celebrating and investing into those areas with the same energy that we put into Kirkwood- even if they don't have the KCA behind them!!
