Fallen tree branch across Hawthorne Dr. Branches have been cut and pushed to side of street (in front of 1025 and 1019), but need to be cleared off.
The new apartment complex at the corner of walnut and Driscoll. There was no space for parking added for parallel parkers so when they park, it turns Driscoll into a one lane street which is dangerous for those turning onto Driscoll from walnut when they are met with vehicle traveling west on Driscoll. Also, they are parking all the way to walnut blocking the sidewalk ramp and the fire hydrant .
When the new apartment opened, there was no spaces included for parking. So now the occupants park on driscoll and block east bound traffic from Walnut to Washington. It is very dangerous to people that turn onto Driscaoll and are met with oncoming traffic. On sunday nights when other residents put out the trash and recycle, it is even worse.
A car has been parked at the yellow curb on W 6th just W of Elm since last night. This is a common occurance.
Problems with taking the public transit to public govt. offices, such as local housing authorities (issuing Sec 8 HCV vouchers, Public housing subsidies, etc.), Bloomington Township Trustee's office (off W. 17th St.), Trustee Kim Alexander, for receiving fundamental necessities of life.
Trash in yard overflowing into street. Camper parked across street narrowing an already narrow street. With the addition of all the junk spilling out of the yard it makes it impassable. Had to backdoor the street into alley to turn around which is dangerous because of cars turning into Driscoll from walnut.
This was an issue last night (4/19/23) around 9pm and beyond. Both lanes of S Dunn St, especially between 6th St and Kirkwood were completely backed up due to multiple Ubers waiting to drop-off and pick-up as well as Doordash or other delivery services parked (flashers on) on S Dunn St. Everyone in the right lane was trying to move to the left lane to get past these parked cars. There was enough traffic, that no one could move. There was also a car parked beside the the yellow stanchions on Kirkwood at this location. This is very frustrating and drivers were becoming agitated. I do not know if this happens every night, but parking in a driving lane on S Dunn St is not appropriate.
How much at the restaurants paying to use the public parking/roadways? These restaurants take up an entire road and the parking spaces on both sides of the road.
A construction sign is completely blocking the bicycle lane on a very busy street with speeding drivers. The sign was originally used to warn about road construction. But that construction was complete more than a week ago. All of the past week the lane has still been blocked. Why does the city not fine the contractor for this negligence? The contractor also left a significant about of debris in the bicycle lane between the sign and 17th street. Why does this happen? Does the city really care about bicycle safety?
