Would it be possible to have some kind of guardrail installed on the edge of the road where the drainage creek crosses under the road in Crestmont Park - hopefully before winter? Since the road is already two narrow for two cars (which is a whole separate issue,) it would be helpful to have a safety measure in place to stop a car from driving or sliding off into the creek.
The street medians are full of weeds and in some places inhibiting ability to see oncoming traffic/pedestrians. This pertains to all medians along Azalea Lane
The area where we park on the side of the road (if coming off of 7th street heading towards 5th, on the right side) is pretty rutted up and turns into a big mud hole when it rains. It looks like it just needs more gravel.
Street work at the intersection of Walnut and Allen left potholes that may need to be filled in.
Dear City of Bloomington, This is not a complaint, rather a thank you. Thank you for completing the Old 37 Curve Correction project so quickly and for doing a great job. I wish that the I-69 project were so efficient. Sincerely, Troy Byler
The third street overpass over 37 needs to be shut down. It will collapse if urgent precautions is not taken immediately.
ON WEST 3RD STREET, AT THE INTERSECTION OF 3RD & FRANKLIN, THE CROSS-WALK BUTTON IS GONE. THE LITTLE POLE IS STILL THERE BUT THE DEVICE IS GONE. PLEASE FIX AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THAT IS A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION BECAUSE IT'S A TURN TO GET TO SEVERAL RESTAURANTS & HOTELS. BUT ALSO, PEOPLE LIVE AROUND THERE WHO NEED TO GET TO THE BUS-STOP ACROSS THE STREET. THANKS
why has thr center line not been painted on morton? the paving has been done for a long time
I had a voice mail stating that the caller was apparently transferred to the wrong department but perhaps I could send information to appropriate department. The caller stated that they were calling regarding the street cut on College just south of 10th Street. Caller advised the "road cut was absolutely ridiculous" and "needs to be fixed". There was no name/number left on voice mail.
Greetings, I couldn't get the mayor to comment directly on the following via the Ask the Mayor program on WFIU, perhaps your dept can comment? Downtown and near downtown main streets are becoming a maze of hazardous patched sections, uneven pavement, road projects without final paving (roundabout at Arlington Road) and wear and tear that is not being attended to. I have my doubts that the Street Dept is at fault here but here is what I have observed as a lifelong resident who notices things. Due to the recent explosion of downtown building, contractors tear up our downtown streets, often major thoroughfares in order to connect to utilities, etc. They further damage the street with huge pieces of machinery needed for the construction. They finish the project and then cheap out on really repairing the damage to the street that was often in fine condition prior to them tearing it up. Then all the citizens have is a street that will kill their tires, struts and rattle their teeth as well as possibly causing accidents. They leave it up to the city to spend the huge $$$ to really fix the road correctly. The contractors and builders have no right to destroy our streets that WE pay taxes to keep in excellent condition. We should not have to wait for a scheduled road project when the road in question carries thousands of cars and other vehicles a day. This type of damage is very obvious at the northern apex of Walnut and College Avenues. Just patching the potholes and bumps and uneven surfaces is NOT enough. It seems that the streets that are getting paved and kept in the best condition in Bloomington are those who live in exclusive additions off these roads and all they had to do was to jiggle the ringer on the mayor’s cell phone and voila! the street is smooth as a baby’s bottom. Could you comment on my observations and what can be done?
