The side of the street closest to the school is completely blocked off during school pick up times. Cars are not allowed to go around the line of traffic that is sitting there. This is an extreme hazard and emergency vehicles are not able to get through. There are also cars illegally parked across from the school on South Sunflower Dr.

South Rogers Street & West 3rd Street

Case Date:

This vehicle is consistently parked in the bus stop / turn lane every morning as pictured. It causes near accidents when cars attempt to get in the turn lane but then have to veer back out because this vehicle is in the way. I called it a "blocked street" because I don't know if it's legitimately parked or if it is illegally parked in the bus stop, but it's definitely unsafe. The car is not there in the evenings but is there weekday mornings on my drive to work.

S Terra Ct, Bloomington, IN 47403, USA

appears the snowplow missed a lot of the cul-de-sac as a vehicle actually got stuck after getting out of a driveway. If the two vehicles parked on the street are causing issues getting to the location to clear it better then tow them. They've been sitting there for two years and not moved. The neighbor has a driveway and chooses not to use it.

no visibility at the intersection coming north on S Swain at University. A giant bush blocks view of traffic travelling west on University. You have to pull out into the middle of University to check for traffic. My car was almost hit.

Blocked Street

S Park Ave, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA

Case Date:
2/18/2021

The side of S. Park Avenue that lead up to the dead end does not get plowed or salted, making it extremely difficult to get out of our driveway, especially in this deep snow. This is very upsetting because I have now felt unsafe leaving my house due to this problem for the past 4 days. Unacceptable.

Rogers St and 10th St at the B Line Trail, Bloomington, IN 47404, USA

Case Date:

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.
