Often cars traveling west on 3rd St and turning south onto College Mall Rd crowd into the intersection as their light is turning yellow and then red. They then block the intersection so cars traveling East on 3rd St can’t proceed because they are essentially parked in the intersection. Today at about 1730 these cars blocked the intersection for almost the entire green light for those traveling East on 3rd St. My suggestion is to station an officer there and ticket every motorist who blocks the intersection.
No signage at left turn on 17th Street indicating Jackson Street road closure. Dangerous for cars turning left from 17th Street.
Bushes growing into street on curve, causing visibility issues and narrowing street
There is people in yellow jackets that are blocking the road but standing around talking. Doing absolutely nothing. This is what I pay for. Do your job. Quit standing around making 5 times what I make. You also pick the dumbest time to start at a street light, a busy as hell street light to just stand around talking. While people are trying to make money, but are being blocked while you assholes are making mint standing around doing NOTHING. And then being jackasses while doing it. DO YOUR JOB.
The person at this house has had two snow plows stored on the street since winter. The one plow is fairly wide and it is a hazard with the cars parked on the other side of the road.
This photo goes with ticket 176560. Also I see in my report that your cyber brain has changed Rogers and 9th street to Rogers and 10th. Technically there is no intersection at 9th, but that is the location of this problem.
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?
