Sidewalk & Curb Complaints:

Other: I am a resident of B-Linr Heights Apartments and I am disabled as is my daughter and quite a few other residents. We use the bus often and love having a bus stop close to the apartments. The problem though is that the bus stop is not handicap accessible. There is a makeshift ramp of sorts that is basically leftover blacktop that is sort of threw there. I know my daughter and myself usually walk alongside the road, there is a bicycle lane, until we reach a lower part of the sidewalk and there we try to lift our rollators to get on the sidewalk. I know there is an elderly man and woman who also take the bus and use mobility aides as well. It is dangerous to walk up the road but when you cannot use the makeshift ramp to access the sidewalk you are limited as to options. I know a few drivers have let us off the bus down at the green trades district sign that is at the road directly across from the apartments. This has helped as the area there is accessable. I don't know if the stop could possibly be moved down to there or if someone could look into fixing the sidewalk alongside Rogers St to make it more handicap accessible, but I do think many of the residents, not just myself, would be very appreciative of it. Thank you for taking this into consideration. We enjoy where we are and taking the bus, we just want to do so a bit safer. Thank you.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention and I'm sorry for the delayed response! In the short term, I will reach out to Bloomington Transit to see if the bus stop can be shifted south of the old driveway that is causing the accessibility issues on the east side of Rogers in this area. In the long term, I expect the sidewalk along the east side of Rogers will be reconstructed as future development is proposed in the City's Trades District.

Not sure if this would be an issue for Streets or for BT.
