There is a traffic circle here that some people treat as a traffic circle and some people treat as a Y intersection. Some "one way" signs at the circle would help to clarify this intersection. Thank you.
potholes getting deeper
Notice this pothole along the center of the street. It also had what looks like a blue dot next to it. (CBU marking?) Thank you for all you do! Here is to a new year!
Weeds around sidewalk and turn signal control box. City put they need to take of it.
What is this, in front of Big Red at 2nd and Walnut? Looks dangerous.
Street light at intersection of E Deckard Drive and E Kinser Drive in the Eastern Heights neighborhood cycles on and off leaving the intersection unlit at times.
Visitors have no downtown visitor center for restrooms. My office is in fountain square, and parents w their students, as well as out-of-town visitors look for public bathrooms. It’s kind of gross that they have to go to the library or back to student apartment while they’re downtown. Do we want visitors to feel welcome? Thank you for your consideration.
Hello, here we go again with another violation from the grandson of property owner Carl James. This beauty of a vehicle (what’s left of it) was unloaded from a car trailer this past Sunday night (12/21). Someone let the car idle very loudly for about 15-20 minutes, while it emitted an ear splitting level of noise. I was in my kitchen, located in the middle of the house on the first floor of my home and thought someone may have had an accident. I turned out the kitchen light and peeked from behind my dining room curtain to see what the source of the noise was. I saw two sets of headlights. I was relieved it was not an accident and returned to getting my dinner. Then the noise got really loud as the vehicle was coming past my kitchen window down Fairview alley. The car then rounded the corner onto a gravel and dirt path behind the houses on W. 7th Street. It came within one foot of my next door neighbor’s wooden privacy fence. I can see how close the wrecker came to hitting the fence due to the trail of mud left behind. I knew exactly where the car was going to end up and I was correct. The attached photo was taken the following day. This family has 32 City of Bloomington violations reported on their property, dating back to 1970. They obviously don’t follow rules or have any respect for the neighbors living in close proximity to their house. Owner Carl James is in deteriorating health and feels since he owns the house, his spawn can do whatever the **** they want. I’m planning to move to Urbana, Illinois in the spring of 2026. The James family is never going to change their ways, so I’m leaving Bloomington. I thought this was my forever home, but at the age of 64 I will be moving again. This is the outcome when people “flip the bird” at rules and personal responsibility.
Audi sedan, apparently abandoned. No license plate, parked on the street on Graham near Brandon Ct back entrance.
You guys keep only taking about half the recycling. Please be sure to dump it all in the truck—3 weeks in a row now.
