The greenway trail connection between south Bline and Bryan street/broadview neighborhood has not been maintained. There is thick snow on the path. I fell while biking my son home from school. We do not have access to a car, so biking is our only option. Why is there still snow on this high traffic area?
Trash receptacles left streetside for three weeks.
Azalea sidewalk along Winslow Woods never got cleared and Parks and Rec refuses to do so causing South students and residents to walk on the narrow road.
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!!
This truck has been parked in front of the church for several months and has not moved.
sidewalk from b line to city hall is not accessible. not sure if it’s an official sidewalk but a lot of people use it.
Sidewalks have not been cleared of snow
Owner is mixing tea at her residence in the basement of her home. This home and basement has sanitary issues (previously reported) such as ants, rodents, and squirrel infestation. There is not a licensed kitchen and I have ordered and afraid of what conditions my tea is packaged in. No response from business about my order and her tea shop is closed permanently since end of December. She has posted on social media she is working on the orders and other posts state she is working on them in her residence basement. This is a concern. Thank you for investigating. The business is Cup and Kettle Tea Shop. The website says it open, however no direct communication about online orders.
The entire extension of the B-Line past 11th street going on to Crescent has not been plowed.
7th St has alternate street side parking. With the recent snowfall, cars on the parked side were boxed in, and snow on the no parking side was pushed onto previously cleared sidewalk, according to my renter. That mean it is full of ice clumps, making it impossible for she or me to remove. Can the city actually remove some of the snow for us - we know the first effort was to clear streets, but it impossible lift for a senior to clear twice the height of packed road snow on the sidewalk.
