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. Thanks, Dan Mueller
More no parking signs might be required as cars consistently on the no parking side of W. Howe.
Need additional no parking sign as cars are often parked on the wrong side of w howe at Rogers.
Tree limb down. 800 block S Mitchell & First St
Portable signs blocking sidewalk on E Third behind old post office and Fifth Third bank. Thanks
A very large tree branch fell and is blocking part of the end of N Oak St, close to where we live at 420 N Oak.
Will you please have someone move the large City dump truck that has been parked in the northeast corner of the Frank Southern parking lot for some time now, and not park large vehicles there in the future? It blocks views of Henderson to the south, and requires motorists to pull all the way into the crosswalk to see if traffic is coming. Thank you.
There's a large tree down on Williams St., blocking the road between West 8th and 9th Streets, one half block from Butler Park.
