In light of the exchanges on the issue of these cars being parked within 20' of the crosswalk at the intersection of S Henderson and E Wylie, I wanted to post a picture that really emphasized the distance. This is a car parked on the road shoulder (in the right of way) and it is clearly parked within 20' of the crosswalk, which is pictured. I don't know if this car being parked *perpendicular to the right of way* is any kind of additional violation. Since it's also sticking out into the city-improved section of the right of way, whatever regulation applies to cars parked in private drives but sticking substantially out into the city-improved section (the street) seems like it could apply, but I can't really speak to that.

Now they've added a large white SUV DOUBLE PARKED on the West end of this shoulder parking area. Since my compact sedan barely fit through, I'm going to say it's not leaving the 12 ft of Lane we're told is required. I also believe that double parking other cars in the right of way is it violation, but I'm sure that gets tricky since technically those cars aren't supposed to be parked on the self-improved shoulder to begin with (though I appreciate that the city is not enforcing that since it would make vast swaths of Bloomington inaccessible all together).

ATTN: Engineering Dept. For years, trees and bushes on city R/W have impeded Prospect Street adjoining the property (west of S. Madison St). Beacon GIS will confirm that the overgrowth is in the R/W. The street department at times has cut back the overgrowth. The planning department has indicated that there are invasive plants at this location. Trees hang down and touch vehicles when not trimmed. The problem has continued to get worse over the past several years. Not only is the overgrowth unmanageable, it is unsightly, detracting from neighborhood property values. Director Hanson, HAND suggested I make this UReport to the engineering department. [email protected] Please rectify this problem so that it is not an on-going issue. Feel free to contact me if needed. Thank you.
There are wires hanging down across the Palmer Greenway. The tree is on the property at 412 E Wylie - but the wires are over the public space. Please go look.
There is a pot hole in front of my driveway.
The large black hanging swings at the south end of the children's playground, along with the same swings on the north side of the splash pad pavilion, are in need of lubrication. They emit a terrible squeal when you try to swing on them, and if all three are in motion at the same time, it's enough to drive you mad. Having someone climb up there once a quarter and spray a little lubrication on the pivot points would presumably work wonders. Thanks for your time and attention!
These cars park here everyday, right next to the no parking sign. There is residential street parking available on the other side of the street that they could be using. It causes traffic problems when cars are parked on both sides of the street.
