Biking & Walking

501-509 North College Avenue

Case Date:
11/12/2013

Hello, I wish to voice my concern in the nicest way possible. I am not asking for compensation or threatening to sue. I just want to bring light to a situation that is possibly hazardous and/or costly. As I was biking to a meeting at work last night, I ran over a large steel plate in the middle of College Ave. It is in front of the construction site where the Waffle House used to be. It nearly threw me off my bike, and I could have easily been run over by other cars. Luckily, it just popped both my tires and no further damage was taken. I would love to see a warning sign, or some sort of reflective material on these large steel plates in the future. Just something to thank about. I thank you in advance for your responsiveness. Sincerely, Caleb Fossee

Parking Meters and Citations

300-302 West 6th Street

Case Date:
11/9/2013

I received a parking ticket on 11/09/2013 due to incorrect signage for the new parking meters. It is not clear which meter is for a specific parking space in front of Le Petit Cafe on 6th Street on the north side of the street. It is not clear that the space farthest to the east just next to the rails-to-trails path is a valid parking spot since the east side of the space has a yellow curb. Yellow curbs typically indicate "no parking." this are needs better signage. That space isn't even wide enough for the average car if it is even supposed to be a parking space. The curb should be repainted to clearly indicate if it is a parking space or not.

bike islands are a terrible idea, I am an every day bike commuter and I just about hit 5 college kids as the got off the bus staring at their phones and texting. SERIOUSLY, COME ON.

Eastbound bike lane on W 3rd/Adams STILL full of asphalt, rocks and debris. I'd love to use the lanes that the city just spent money to install but its TOTALLY UNSAFE. COME ON!

Parks & Playgrounds

408-412 East Wylie Street

Case Date:
11/7/2013

The new bridge over the creek is extremely slippery in the morning, when wet. I was not prepared and I fell. A little black and blue, but nothing broken. I suggest putting those granular non-skid surfaces on the steps particularly, and perhaps a warning sign.

Potholes, Other Street Repair

1701 S Olive ST

Case Date:
11/7/2013

With the realignment of Weatherstone Drive where it meets Hillside, please consider smoothing out the low curb at the entrance to Olive Street on the other side of Hillside--maybe just a little asphalt ramp. I cross Hillside there on my bicycle every day. It's rough on a bike if you can't get over to go across on the manhole cover on the left side. It's the only place in town I ever got a flat on my commuter bike. With the realignment it will be harder to get over to the manhole cover "ramp" when going south. Thanks for considering this opportunity to fix a nagging problem.

Traffic Suggestions

125-189 South Adams Street

Case Date:
11/4/2013

When traveling W. on Kirkwood and coming to the light at Adams, there are 2 left turn lanes but no good markings to guide cars to their respective lanes on Adams. We were almost hit by a car next to us that drifted into our lane as we turned. You need to put some nice wide solid white arcs to prevent an accident there.

pothole is located on East Kensington Park Drive just west of my home at 3131 E. Kensington Park Drive. More specifically, it is at the south end of the island in the cul de sac midway down Kensington Park Drive as you travel east.

Street Lights

Bloomington Rail Trail

Case Date:
10/31/2013

I wrote you a week ago about a street light that has gone out on our street. Our neighborhood is really dark and we would appreciate if it can be fixed very soon. We have had 1 attempted burglary and a theft of a truck in the time that I have asked that the street light get repaired. We would really appreciate if this issue can be fixed as soon as possible. The street light in question is the one opposite our property on 1104 S. Covenanter Drive. Also, we think that there was an issue with the street light when it did work as it would stay on 24 hours a day. Thank you.
