Web Form: I'm an IU Bloomington student who walks to the stadium everyday to take the IU buses to class. There are no sidewalks on my walk from Brownstone Terrace to the stadium which forces me to walk on the side of the road, where student drivers who don't pay attention swerve around me at the last second. Additionally when the weather is bad, I'm even forced to walk in the road, putting myself at risk to get hit by a car. I'm also proposing more off campus lighting & would love to meet with someone about these issues to come up with an effective plan. It's unsafe walking home from a late night class or to an early morning class & not being able to see your surroundings. Some of the city lights don't even work. If more light poles were installed, it would reduce the off campus crime rate. The city of Bloomington, not IU, is reponsible to address these issues because it's there property.
I have responded back to the citizen and provided my contact information to further discuss additional street light locations.
Noor Heintzelman, Thank you for your email. In regards to additional street lights within the public right of way, the City leases these lights from Duke Energy. The City pays for the installation, energy usage, and maintenance costs with Duke providing the maintenance services. I would be more than happy to discuss additional street light locations and explain our process either on the phone or in person. Also,If you could email me the locations of the lights that do not work, I will report them to Duke Energy for repair. If you would like schedule a meeting or phone call, you may contact me at smithc@bloomington.in.gov or 812.349.3589. Best, Christin
