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.
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
Threre is a fence that extends into the alley.
Sidewalks on Adams from Woodhill north to the end of the neighborhood and on W. Allen from Adams 1/2 way to Larkspur and very over grown with weeds and brush.
Smith and Buckner: car parked in yard and partially on the sidewalk the yard generally looks junky and you can see a panel van parked on the lawn if you look south from the northern alley

Caller states that the sidewalk on the east side of High Street from Arden to Childs Elementary School has bushes that are growing over onto the sidewalk also has low hanging branches that you have to duck under. She suggests that the inspector walk to sidewalk to determine the problem areas. Also a couple of places where there is a lot of crushed stone on the walk. Please call her with results.
There is a black car that has parked in front of our mailbox for the past 3 days, not allowing for the mail truck to get to our mailbox, resulting in non-delivered mail to our box. I contacted non-emergency who put me through to Parking but had an alarm at work and wasn't able to leave a message. We are located on the cul-de-sac end of Hickory Grove Lane.
