Street trees have low hanging branches that make it hard to walk on sidewalk on W Adams Hill as well as some of the trees on Countryside heading towards Rockport have low branches that don't allow clearance for walking.
Bryan park 2-5 year old playground is in need of some updating. The floor is deformed and the tiles have shrunk which has caused large sections to pull apart, leaving large gaps that our 18 month old have tripped over and twisted her ankle in. The steps leading up to the slides also have multiple broken welds and are at risk of breaking while someone is climbing them. Is there a plan to update or replace the 2-5 year old playground in the near future? Thanks
The trees between the houses on the street side of the sidewalk on rock creek in my neighborhood are super overgrown and low hanging. I’ve noticed some kids and elderly getting hit in the face with branches and having to duck. The city in the past has trimmed these low hanging branches but it was never done last year. Any chance we could get the low hanging branches on rock creek cut? It would make it a lot safer for our neighborhood kids who walk to school (and adults). To be clear, I’m talking about the city trees not residential trees. Thanks!
I would like to advocate an end to the % fee system for Food & Beverage Artisans. We need to support local food producers who are already competing with by stores such as Kroger etc. Let's spend our $ on locally grown food & take away another challenge that they are facing in trying to seel their products locally.
Missing tree grades are a pedestrian hazard
Landscape plot should either be brought up to sidewalk grade or have a tree grate. This is a pedestrian hazard.
Street tree in danger of lifting up sidewalk
This morning at approximately 8:20, while I was riding a bicycle southbound on the B-Line trail over the Grimes Street bridge, I met a full-sized truck driving northbound on the B-Line Trail over the bridge. The truck was labeled Bloomington Parks and Recreation, and I spoke with the driver and passenger, who were staff members of the Parks and Recreation Department. The posted rules of the B-Line trail prohibit motorized vehicles. I am aware that we make exceptions for motorized wheelchairs, electric bicycles, electric scooters, and the small trucks used by security and parks maintenance staff. However, my opinion is that a full-sized truck is well outside the range of acceptable exceptions. A full-sized truck is less safe, provides less visibility for the truck driver to see walkers and others on the trail, blocks more of the trail width, and causes more wear on the trail surface. My opinion is that full-sized trucks should not be on the B-Line, when there are alternate routes available for a truck on public streets, and alternative vehicles available to use on the B-Line trail.
Very large pin oak tree planted right next to the street is dead on at least half of it’s crown with dangerous branches broken and dangling over the street. Seems like a public hazard.
i have a dead tree along the street on my property. Will the city come and remove and plant another one for me? Also, if i trim my existing trees will the city come by and pick up my clippings? I have no idea on where to dispose of this stuff
