Why do City vehicles park in the bike lane instead of the street? Many times while riding my bike on 7th street this year, I have had to ride around City vehicles parked in and blocking the 7Line because the driver was watering trees or something. Firstly, it's much easier for a car to drive around a truck than for a cyclist going up a steep hill and more vulnerable than drivers to have to ride into oncoming traffic or try to squeeze around an enormous truck. Secondly, this sends the signal that the City prioritizes drivers over cyclists. I should hope that's not actually the case, but it feels like it. Why not park in the car lane? Either side would be by the trees that are in the median between the 7Line and the car lanes, and it wouldn't impact the safety of the City workers. But it does impact the safety of people on bikes, who are already at more risk of injury from crashes.

Dear city of Bloomington, While I'm grateful your team has looked into this, the issue is far from being resolved. The repair work did not make any improvement in the noise. The remedy that was done the first time worked for awhile. The grate needs to be opened and cleaned out so that it seats properly. A rubber ring or some kind of padding needs to be placed on the contact points to reduce the vibration. The loud noise is going on 24/7. I'd like to invite a member of your team to see it for yourself. Feel free to contact me and I can meet you at the site of the storm grates. Regards, Craig Subject: uReport Case #180991 https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=180991 Closed by Kathleen Powell Per CBU supervisor, a crew went to this site and put con-seal around the manhole covers. This should stop the noise when cars drive over them.

The alley behind my business is blocked with Trucks and cars servicing IU building next door. Since IU parking lot is right there why are the trucks blocking the alley. My customers need access to my parking lot and Trucks and cars parked in the alley make it difficult to enter my lot.

Contractor and personal vehicles are parked all day long in the MIDDLE of the already blocked and crowded roadway. A major safety issue just 100 ft from the BPD offices. All these vehicles should be parked in a public lot or on the actual building site.

The corner of Post Rd as you're approaching Staats on the right hand side is so overgrown with trees cars cannot be in the right lane. We walk to school with our daughter and have often had to get out of the way of traffic b/c this road is effectively 1 lane at the moment. 2 homes, the one at the corner of Staats and Post and the one at the corner of post and "Hollywood" both have shrubs/trees that impede traffic/walkers and make it even more dangerous than it should be. If the owners aren't willing to change this landscaping the city should have the ability to cut considering that the shrubs are covering no less than 3 ft into the street. This is dangerous for cars, walkers, and bike riders in the neighborhood. MUST BE ADDRESSED.

As we drive north on Dunn Street (within the Blue Ridge neighborhood), our car is often scraped and scratched by vegetation growing alongside the road. Would it be possible to trim those branches so that cars can avoid being scraped without needing to move into the middle of the road?
