There is an unsecured steel road plate covering up a pot hole, it is not secure and dangerous. It also makes a loud, echoing noise all day and night and residents in neighboring apartment buildings hear the banging all day and all night long. It needs to be secured or the pothole or road issue needs to be fixed. It's been like this for about 10 days.
The apartment construction by Varsity properties on East 19th Street has caused an excessive level of dust on the road. Whenever a vehicle drives by, the dust becomes airborne. In addition, the dust also falls on to nearby vehicles, causing a significant amount of scratches and inconvenience. No effort has been made to clean up the street. It is especially disgusting to walk on when it rains.
The islands of trees surrounded by curbs that are being constructed in the roadways throughout the city. I’m wondering why the city is installing them since they’re already responsible for the death of a deputy sheriff who died from her injuries sustained during a traffic accident in which she was responding with lights and sirens to a call got hit going threw a red light and the ambulance was called but unable to get there for an extended period of time due to the trees and curbs constructed in the roadways throughout the city leaving no room for the ambulance to navigate around pulled over vehicles. I thought that when the city removed the brand new islands that they had constructed that they would find a better speed diversion, or would at least limit the construction of new islands but instead we now have many islands that make it nearly impossible to turn onto certain roads and streets due to the lack of room because of the brick filled curbed islands and trees. It seems ridiculous to me that the people are paying for obstacles in the roadway that make it nearly impossible to drive on the streets in Bloomington. They are wonderful for bicycling and walking however seeing as the city of Bloomington does not enforce no riding bikes on the sidewalks I don’t see much importance in having bicycle lanes in the roads since people on bicycles are allowed to ride their bikes on the sidewalks, which is extremely dangerous in my opinion but I’ve witnessed hundreds of bicyclist on the sidewalks in the downtown district and on Kirkwood, where there are police station within feet of them riding their bikes on the sidewalk and no attempt to stop them has been made.
Large pothole on 2nd where BLine crosses going east
Olcott park pathway to Jackson Creek middle school parking lot. When the temperature drops below freezing, this becomes a sheet of ice due to some drainage from the football field flowing down the paved path. Dozens of school children use the path to get to and from school as well as community members. It has been a high slip risk For the last few years as this path does not receive ice removal or salting on a regular basis. Instead of trying to keep up with salting or removing the ice on this long path I hope the city could look into rerouting the source of the drainage to not flow on the pedestrian path.
On the lookout deck by the parking lot, there is a missing grate, so there is a leg-sized hole in the concrete. There is also a lot of broken class on the ground at the end of the lookout deck.
Why there road work at new hospital
At the corner of 3rd and Clarizz. Sitting at the light heading west and turning south onto Clarizz the concrete barrier sticks out in a manner that is not very visible at night. I blew a tire hitting the concrete bicycle median. I hope this makes sense. Than you.
Continual speeders on E Morningside. Someone told me our neighborhood association requested traffic calming. Please do something to keep it from being a drag strip. Definitely open to whatever you think best but multiple of us have complained for some time without changes. Thank you for your good work.
