City of Bloomington, Indiana

open #209375

Request a new Street Light:

Other: You have elevated concrete all over the roads now. You have little triangles at the intersections that you have curbs to mark off the bicycle lanes, you have medians with trees on them, and you have high curbs and narrow roads like on Sare Rd just south of Moore's Pike. But what you don't have in many of these areas with concrete structures rising 8 to 12 in off the ground, is STREET LIGHTS!!! So, a person driving at night has difficulty seeing these structures, and, in my case, I did damage to the underside of my car because I drove right up onto one of these triangular concrete structures at an intersection. I've also hit the high curb on Sare Rd, where you are driving precariously between a risen concrete median and a high curb, making the road very narrow and of course, it is unlit. I know that you guys want to keep up with the latest "progressive" trends of Europe (as if it were not failing in every way so I don't see why), but really, use common sense and put some street lights wherever you're going to put these high concrete structures in the road. Because at night, and especially when it's raining or snowing, it's practically impossible to see these structures sometimes and the result is, one does damage to one's car, courtesy of the city of bloomington, to which I happen to be paying my local taxes to support this lunacy.
