On May 23, 2021, at 5:30 am I was driving south on N Rogers to deliver my brother to Bloomington Hospital for surgery. At about 9th street (at the B line trail) I ran directly into a curb that juts out into the road. It was dark out and raining, and this road obstruction was poorly lit and not marked with a reflector ot in any other way. I ruined an almost new tire and will surely need an alignment. We walked the rest of the way to the hospital, in the dark and rain, because we couldn’t get a cab and time was short. Going back in the daylight I see that the southbound lane makes a jog to the center to accommodate this jutting out curb. Going south the right most lane becomes a parking lane, but there were no cars at all parked there so this was not apparent when approaching from the north. In the daylight this configuration is easy to see, but not in the dark and rain. I’ve enclosed a photo taken from in front of Carpenter Realty showing how dramatically this curb juts out into the road. I have other photos that I will try to send separately. (I think this report is limited to one photo. ) Two of my photos show show that the jutting out curb is blackened from tires and scared from wheel rims that preceded me into this trap. If I had a tire store I would open a branch in the big parking lot just south of Carpenter and stay open through the night. Besides reconfiguring this lane transition there are several easy solutions: - Light this curb better. - Put a reflector on it. - use a “ramp” or “transition” curb, as we see at all the new roundabouts.

A house located at the corner of East Wylie Street and S. Grant Street has erected "no parking" signs along Wylie in order to allow a large truck and car trailer (with demolition derby cars) to park there as needed. When the truck is there, it is difficult to two cars to pass each other on this narrow street. Is this legal?
