Broken glass all over sidewalk
Broken glass all over sidewalk
The south side of West Allen Street has always been no-parking any time, but recently more and more vehicles are parking on the southside and blocking traffic. Our signs that show it's no parking are faded and spaced about three houses apart. I didn't know if the signs need to be updated or we need more signs, or does more enforcement is need to solve this issue before it gets much worse. Thank you for any help you can provide.
West 3rd Street from S Rogers to Patterson is a narrow residential street. Lots of trucks use this street. W 3rd. St. is designated “neighborhood residential street” in the Bloomington Transportation Plan which means “low speed and low volume”. There is a sign east of Rogers on 3rd. that says “No through trucks on 3rd St” but it is old and very faded. New sign needed. Also it might be effective to have a sign at Jackson and 3rd also. Thank you for considering this concern.
On July 18, the crews trimming the trees on our street accidentally pruned the speed limit sign. Can it be replaced?
Please add more signage to 3rd and Rogers St. to discourage through traffic on W 3rd St. especially large trucks and vehicles with trailers. 4th St. & 3rd St. & Howe are all designated “neighborhood residential street” in the Bloomington Transportation Plan. They are to be “low speed and low volume”. There is a sign east of Rogers on 3rd. that says “No through trucks on 3rd St” but it is old and very faded. I am asking if a similar sign could be newly added to the two sign posts at Rogers that are of a picture of a black truck with a red circle crossing it out, add the written signs underneath that, is that possible? Thanks.
The curbs that jut out into the road at each end of the two lengths of parking here should be painted for visibility
The corner of Winslow Drive and Allendale Drive has many reflective "stick" posts that are bolted to the street that are damaged or missing. These are in the eastbound lane of Winslow when turning south onto Allendale. Can these be repaired or replaced? Alternatively, since a dedicated right-turn lane exists at this intersection for turning south onto Allendale, can these posts be removed so the right-turn lane can be used again? Why was it determined that the right-turn lane can’t be used any longer? If the right-turn lane cannot be used, can that pavement be removed and the land converted to grass or a landscape bed?
People park on Driscoll at corner of Washington AT the stop sign. Essentially makes the street one way. Also you can’t see the speed limit sign in the Driscoll block from walnut to Washington. New building also has no curbing painting for corner of alley along with fire hydrant !!!
I have noticed since this road has been repaved that cars are driving extremely fast down Cory Lane. I have a 4-year-old and a cat that sometimes play in the front yard, and it is very concerning to me that people are flying down the road. There are children that live in both houses in front of me that I'm sure would enjoy playing in their yards, but their safety is questionable with people driving the way they are. Soon enough all the children, mine included, will be school-age and waiting for a bus, which scares the hell out of me. I'm not sure what the answer is. Maybe putting up a speed limit sign? A sign that says children live nearby and to slow down? Even a few speed bumps would be great. Anything would be better. I appreciate that the road has been redone, and it's very nice, but it has definitely lead to frequent speeding.
The cicada speed bumps are so cute! At first glance Ithpughtthey were the bolts that have been sticking out of the street since February but no! These cicada speed bumps next to the car speed bumps are so nice. Just like how they don't slow the cars down at all these new cicada speed bumps don't have any effect on the bugs whatsoever. Instead they are a trip hazard and are extremely dangerous to both bugs and people.
