Trees on south side of street are overgrown 2200-2100 Sycamore Village heading to Southeast park. Could not safely walk to park with stroller. Could tree branches and bushes be cut back to prevent scratching and to enable passing through? This is the length of block east of Sycamore sign to the entrance to park. Many thanks!
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!!
Our trash pick up was missed this morning. Recycling was picked up.
Pothole in the middle of the crosswalk outside of Child’s elementary school on south high street.
Sidewalk blocked with snow and difficult to pass without walking in street.

Thick layer of ice covering entire sidewalk and alley right next to Spudshack. Very hazardous for a serious fall risk as this is a commonly used sidewalk and right next to concrete steps. Appears to be no salt or sand being used. Unsure why ice is so bad in this area from the alley.
My trash was not picked up this morning. The recycling was picked up. I left enough room between the two containers and my trash bin was at the end of my driveway. It is a full container and needs to be picked up today. Thanks
The left turn lane headed south on Washington at the 3rd Street intersection is completely blocked. The city should go evaluate the situation. Maybe send a plow truck or other equipment to clear the street. The snow stopped a week ago.
We are on a cul-de-sac. Every snow, the snow is piled at our driveway entry. Fortunately, when shoveling our driveway, a snowplow came and removed snow from half of the entry at my request. However, I think all the snow from our street is piled between our drive and the neighbor drive. Pile is about 5 ft high. It also covers half of our drive. Can that snow be removed? Or do we have to wait until it melts? I'm afraid it will overwhelm the street drainage. Not angry about it, just asking.
