Other: There needs to be 1 or 2 streetlights put it on east 12th street between Grant street and North Walnut. It is especially dark in between Lincoln and Washington street and at night you cannot see the sidewalk at all. Most people living on E12th street are students, many of whom have night classes ending as late as 9 or 10pm. My roommates and I specifically have classes ending at 8:30 and 9 when the streets are too dark to see anything. With the current atmosphere in Bloomington, many residents of 12th street feel unsafe walking home from class, work, or to their neighbors. Installing A street lamp or two would greatly improve the safety and comfort of people living on E 12th street. The attached photo shows just how dark the sidewalk is with out a flash light at night. No one should have to feel afraid of walking down their own street at 8pm and the addition of street lamps on E12th street can help fix this.
Placed request area on DPW's additional lighting worksheet and emailed the citizen.
Ms. Deering, Thank you for submitting an uReport to the Department of Public Works. Additional lighting requests are placed on our department's street lighting request worksheet. The City leases these lights through Duke Energy and the City pays for the installation, energy usage and maintenance costs with Duke providing the maintenance services. Each year during the fall season, our department installs new street lights. The number of new installations is dependent upon available funding. I have placed your request on our list for consideration. Please feel free to contact me regarding any questions at smithc@bloomington.in.gov. Best, Christina
