My husband and I are grateful for the carefully cleared Jackson Creek Trail. Would it be possible to also clear the access sidewalk from the Sherwood Oaks parking lot to the trail itself? Negotiating it in snowy weather is a challenge for us elderly.
This sidewalk on the east side of the bridge at the Goat Farm has poor drainage and this pool has been there for 3 days. At first I thought it was due to snow, but now that it's melted I can see that it's due to the ground next to the sidewalk being too high.

Sorry for the duplicate, I forgot to include the photo and I didn't see a way to add it after.
The grill has been removed from the Sherwood Oaks picnic shelter. Please replace the grill ASAP to make this picnic shelter fully functional for the summer. Thank you.

The debris dam on the creek below the bridge between Sherwood Oaks Park and Olcott Park has become even more effective. The water level at the bridge is visibly higher, and so much water is now being held back that there is a waterfall over one end of the dam. There has been more erosion of the flat land along the creek at the base of the trail through Olcott Woods. It is likely that the abundance of leaves in the creek this winter (from people disposing of leaves in the creek?) has made the dam more effective.

The area is still heavily covered in snow, with most street parking spots completely blocked. My car and others continues to slide, creating unsafe driving conditions. It’s unacceptable that much of downtown Bloomington—including roads and sidewalks—remains in this condition. The city should prioritize clearing these areas and take greater responsibility for the safety of the community.
Received from a Resident in Van Buren Township. I live off Sims lane and have a question? When you try to get out onto Leonard Springs off of Sims there are a bunch of weeds / shrubbery/ trees that totally block the view to the South. So you have to inch out and hope to not get hit in the meantime. And with the way people fly over that hill south of Sims, it can be dangerous. So my question is how can we get those trimmed? It is practically on the road, so not sure if it’s the county or homeowner? I don’t want to cause any problems but also don’t want there to be an accident there. Sims lane traffic plus the Heatherwood traffic makes for a busy intersection. I’ve lived there for 30yrs and this is the worst I’ve seen those weeds / shrubs, whatever it is. Any help would be appreciated!
Sidewalk on N. Smith Rd for Shamrock Pointe Apartments has not been shoveled since first snow storm of this year, nor was it ever salted, forcing me as a disabled man to walk in streets.
