Fells that traffic on kinser pike in the 1400 block is too fast. He feels drivers are exceeding the speed limit. He would like officers to patrol the area, but has gotten no response from requests to the Police Department.
Mr. Parks contacted us couple mo.'s ago regarding traffic light @ GE entrance off Curry--semi's/cars both running light, running others off road--explained it was County's jurisdiciton. This time called b/c has been calling County for months--fed up! This time he added problem w/ speeding and reckless driving all up and down Curry. Again, reiterated what part of Curry is County & what's City--told him I'd forward complaint to BPD to see if they could patrol area more & ticket.
Mr. Barr is irate that there aren't a few parking spots reserved for citizens in the Farmers Market lot. He feels the City is treating the citizenry with disrespect by not reserving 5-6 of the Farmers Market spaces for citizens doing business in City Hall.
Some thing is going on over Smith Rd. Travel is very heavy on Heritage Rd . Before, the Heritage Rd is a side street, parking is allowed, even it’s a public street not a public parking area. Now it become a Main Street, park on the side of the street really creates a very dangerous situation. Is possible city can provide a better place for those park on the street to move to? It’s much safe for the rest of the drivers.
Thanks for the reply. I am taking about the situation now. When the time I back up from my driveway to the Heritage, I looked right, left, till no car in sight. I slowly back to the street, immediately a loud squeaky brake behind me. A red car from 3rd street almost hits my car. Of course those cars can park wherever they allowed after the construction done on Smith Rd. But now it’s so dangerous! You should not wait till something terribly happened before taking actions.
I reported the driving situation on Heritage Rd. Today when I back up to Heritage Rd, the ankle of the next door car parking on the street do block the view. Only when the time I am all out I saw the car from 3 rd street, and the driver in that car be able to see me. It’s not speeding problem, it’s the blocking of view make the back up so dangerous. Citizen’s safety is more important than individuals’ convenient. Please be more concerned.
I live on S. Heritage Rd, Bloomington. My neighbor at 200 prefer to park his vehicles on the street which creates a blind angle for me to see the car turn in from 3rd street. I am not sure if people turn in from 3rd can see me back up clearly. For several times, once I back into the middle of the road, there’s a car right behind me. It’s unimaginable. What is happening? I wonder anything can be done to solve this dangerous situation?
Please paint lane markers on Eagleson between Atwater and Third. I drive there twice a day and have seen 4 drivers in the wrong lane heading south on Eagleson since the street was repaved. Very dangerous.
I live in 117 S.Heritage Rd. Bloomington. Thanks for the help, the blind spot cleared for 2 days. Now there’s another vehicle park at that spot. My friend passed by Heritage most of the time because the construction on Smith Rd. She felt so sorry for because Heritage Rd. Is such a mass. Actually I do enjoy how people react to that one lane place, they just patiently slow down or even stop to wait for people on the other side to pass. I really respect those people, that’s what make American so special. On the other hand, there’s one one person hold on his privilege “legal parking on the public street”, not even trying to make an small effect to make all the rest a safe street to drive. How selfish and not considerate. What a shame!
I live at 117 S. Heritage Rd. It happened again, I looked right and left, no cars. When I backed up into the street, there’s a car right behind me. Of course I can only see the very small conner of 3rd street, nothing behind neighbor’s car. This is very stressful for me. I have to say, Park Ridge has the best driveway in town. Can easily fit in two cars at least if it’s used for vehicles parking only. If most of the driveway used for storage and create the hazardous for other people, it’s an inconsiderable sin.
