I would like for the City of Bloomington IN, to remove the median that was just placed in the middle of 3rd street. I believe this curb to cause traffic problems, potentially hazardous conditions, illegal motorist operation, and unnecessary spending. The median causes motorists unnecessary turning, and frustration. It also causes problems in emergency situations that can make it very dangerous for emergency personnel. There was in fact never a need for a median to be placed on this road. There were several fires last summer that took place in this median as a matter of fact that could have caused more problems, including personal injury to pedestrians, and motorists, and property damage. I believe this median was both a waste of time and money.
Shouldn't business like College Mall be responsible for cleaning the public sidewalks? They never get cleaned when it snows, turns to ice and makes it difficult to walk to work there. Is there anything that can be done (a little salt would go a long way!)
Why is the sidewalk before and after the traintracks on Pete Ellis Drive never shoveled? In the three big snowfalls this year - nothing. And previous years. This is a highly pedestrian area.
Why is there snowpiled up at the Bloomington Hospital bus stops? Pedestrians have to climb over piles of snow or else stand in the street.
Tree down by 911 n Madison blocking alley
Earlier tonight a tree fell down over the bridge at Lake Griffy, blocking both lanes of traffic. A few of us motorists got out and pushed it over the guardrail to clear the road. It occurs to me that now it's possible for that tree to roll down on to boaters (although I think it's still partly attached at the base). You might want to check it out though, and also possibly the guardrail sections on both sides. It's on the side closest to the boat house.
The address is approximate. Railroad ties, 2x4's and what looks like a dog lead is blocking a street giving a lack of access for residents to the access way for Rockport Rd. from the corresponding neighborhood in which the access was erected, where as the apartments of Dorthy were annexed, or derived from the corresponding neighborhood. There is not consistent on sight property management for 2304 South Rogers Street. Dorthy Apartments claim to own the street that is blocked, which city planning documents I control or possess show otherwise. I am concerned that this is a gang-related incident in which will have numerous crimes attached. This is a public area because of the sidewalks, area developments, and subjection people are to encounter.
There are two abandoned vehicles parked on W. Dove Drive, near the corner of Falcon and Dove. The white van and white SUV have parked here for over four weeks. The owners, who live in the house on the corner of Falcon/Dove, are in the process of selling the house, and have left the two cars there for months. It creates a traffic hazard when turning the corner, especially at night.
The lawn crew at Barclay Square (3000 S. Walnut St. Pk.) are blowing ALL of the leaves out into the street. There are piles of them. With the rain just beginning, it is quite slippery in that location. This is a dangerous hazard created by these idiots.
