Corrections to case#193765 (due to auto-correct): overgrown invasives are on the *west* side of Dunn (not east), and the plants we would like preserved are *cypresses* (thuja/arborvitae, Cupressaceae), not "depressed".
In the alley north of E. University Street between Henderson St and Fess Ave, there is a piece of rebar sticking up an inch or two above the gravel. The top 3-4 inches of the rebar is bent at 90 degrees. It is difficult to notice while walking, but it is the perfect height to catch your foot and create a trip hazard. Please remove this dangerous situation. Thank you for your help!
Car blocking sidewalk. Also, cars parking in neighbor's driveway.
I had previously submitted Ureport ticket 193581 but have not heard back. I’m hoping this ticket works. There’s a large tree that is located in an old city alleyway just north of my house. It has started falling and rests against two communication lines holding it up. There’s a car parked under that tree this morning. So I’m concerned the tree may fall on it. Hope you can help soon with the tree so that no property is damaged or maybe even people get hurt.
Malodorous dumpster sitting on sidewalk, east side of Lincoln.
Invasives growing into sidewalk, blocking pedestrian passage.
East side of Dunn just north of Windfall Dancers. Mulberry and/or Bush honeysuckle overgrown and blocking sidewalk. We are not wanting the depressed (thuja/arborvitae) cut back, just the invasive so that pedestrians do not need to walk in the grassy ROW.
I previously reported an issue in case 193219. It has been closed and said fixed. I was back in Bloomington this weekend and saw 2 people trip again over uneven sidewalk. I previously fell at this location. It was not corrected. The area is outside park and Morton. It is located outside entrance of door that says 702, and directly by a tree and opposite window that has for lease on it. I am hoping it is corrected before someone gets hurt!
At about 8:30pm on 9/25/2024 a Marshall Security guy in a golf cart was blinding me and a friend with very bright LED lights as we were walking in Switchyard Park. This is unprofessional and unacceptable behavior the City must address with a contractor hired to keep the community safe. We were on a walking path that runs from the north side of the Skatepark to the B-Link crossing at Walnut. We were east of the skatepark and over the bridge before getting to the fence at Stryker Towing. This guy on the golf cart had his cart pointed from east to west in the middle of the path, right at us. The headlights are incredibly and painfully bright to look at in the night, causing us to shield our eyes to try to continue walking. He did not turn the lights off or try to angle away from us. He just sat there, pointing these very bright, LED lights right at us. The lights seem to be angled up and likely not the factory installed lights on the golf cart, something after market, intended to intentionally and knowingly render people unable to see as they approach.
Serious erosion of retaining wall supports of multi-use path at south east corner of intersection. The retaining wall erected to support the new-ish multi-use path shows significant signs of erosion, as the gravel piled on the path-side of the blocks used to traverse the creek/ditch under the path has washed away in multiple places, and the drainage holes in the large concrete blocks are now exposed. During the huge deluge in 2020, the block's in this area literally shifted. I suspect that another big deluge could shift them further, and collapse parts of the path. I have several images if you need them.
