City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #164950

Excessive Growth:

Other: Intersection of Ruby and Circle Drive. This is part of the Allen-Covenanter Greenway for cyclists. The other day I was coming from Circle, ready to turn left on Ruby, when I almost hit a cyclist on Ruby, whom I had not seen because of the high grasses in the yard of the Ruby-Circle Drive corner house. Maybe the 2 bushes closest to the intersection could be cut back, for better visibility for motorists coming from Circle Drive.

Contacted constituent months ago, but forgot to close case. The stop sign was placed too far back from the intersection, which caused motorists to stop so far back that they could not see around the grasses. Street department moved the stop sign, which encourages motorists to stop at the correct distance back from the street. When stopped at this distance, there is no line of sight issue.

There did not appear to be a sight distance problem. However, the stop sign appears to be too far from the intersection, which contributes to motorists stopping too far back from the intersection. Meeting with Mr. Stinson from the Street Department next week to see what can be done about the stop sign.

https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=164950 Opened by Anonymous Dear Constituent: Thank you for submitting information to us via uReport. We value your input and hope that we will be able to address your questions and concerns. HAND neighborhood compliance officers will inspect the property and determine if the weeds, grass or plants are in violation of the Bloomington Municipal Code 6.06.070 (a). In the event of a violation, the neighborhood compliance officer will issue a Notice of Violation (NOV) to the property owners via first class mail and by placing a copy of the notice of violation on the property. The original Notice of Violation may be a warning or may include fines with a graduated scale from $50.00 - $150.00, and will be issued in accordance with Bloomington Municipal Code 6.06.070 (a). If the property is a rental property and it is the tenants' responsibility to maintain the lawn, the landlord must provide a copy of the signed lease to HAND during the initial seven days following the issuance of the NOV, otherwise the Landlord will remain responsible for paying the fine. After the Notice of Violation is issued, the property owner and/or tenant has seven (7) days to bring the property into compliance. If the property is not brought into compliance within the initial seven (7) days, the inspector may go to daily tickets. Please be mindful of this process while we work with your neighbors to resolve this issue. Thank you, HAND staff
