High street sidewalk project looks like absolute horseshit. Kids walk through a half complete construction zone everyday with trash, busted up concrete and rusty rebar laying everywhere. This is completely unacceptable. Finish the project!
On the NW corner of Dunn and 4th St the distinct squared out curb (rather than rounded) is very hard to miss hitting with your tires, when turning right from southbound Dunn onto westbound 4th St, especially if there is a vehicle at the stop sign going eastbound on 4th St. It is necessary to swing wide turning right in order to avoid hitting that curb. That 90degree curb shown this happens regularly as it is a bit broken and covered in black from being hit with tires. Very hard on tires!
At the intersection between Greenbriar Ln and Locust street there are always multiple vehicles parked on the side of the curb, that affects seriously the visibility and the safety of the street (Greenbriar Ln). The owner of the vehicle resides at 2008 E Greenbriar Ln. I hope a better and safer solution could be found regarding the parking situation. Thank you
Water struggles to get around e Morningside and n Sheffield without pooling. Any chance curb can be built up a bit there or the cement can be shaved a bit to let the water keep flowing by? Thanks!
Hey, all. I'm at 4021 E. Morningside Drive. Unfortunately I've been experiencing some drainage issues at my corner since the installation of a wheelchair ramp for the sidewalk. There was no issue prior. Terrific having the ramp for folks, plus the earlier sidewalk, but unfortunately it has no lip on it at all. As you can see in the photo, the street is essentially level with part of my yard now, allowing even the smallest rain to flood the corner. I'd love to grow grass but am having difficulties because of the situation. There was grass prior, but someone crashed into the streetlamp, and when it was replaced, the ground got torn up a bit. Beyond my yard, a small pool exists along the corner until it dries out as well, as it is unable to pass on through. Also sediment as you can see in the photo (taken tonight a few hours after the end of today's misting) is washed into the street with each rain. Please see if there can be just the smallest bit of lip and/or incline added with the ramp/sidewalk to keep the water moving instead of creating a muddy corner. Thank you for any help! (Or ideas!) Any chance you all might have a square foot of sod that is fairly water tolerant that can just be placed down there? Might solve my issue without any need for changing anything with the concrete assuming it takes root. I appreciate the consideration and help. There is also a bus stop right at the corner, so more than just helping me, it keeps the bus waiters from standing in the mud.
The apartment development on Gourley Pike has just poured a curb that impedes access to W. Cascade Ave. The curb extends into the approach to W. Cascade. There is no longer room for 2 cars to pass one another simultaneously to enter the street
All along 17th street starting at tri north the work has created large dirt piles and rock debris. They’ve started growing grass in piles of rock that weren’t there until duke poles and this fiber stuff work began. Is this going to be fixed and removed? Looks a mess and hazard to sidewalk users and when it rains it makes it dangerous
The bump outs that have been added to Morningside Drive need to have reflective paint or some other sort of marking that can be seen both during the day and at night. My father pulled into town last night from NM (his first moment of moving to Bloomington!), and ran into one of the bump outs. The result was that he blew two tires. All of the bump out curbs already have many black tire marks on them, which is an indication that he is by far not the first person to make contact. I urge the city to add paint or something else that will draw attention to these, so that this doesn't keep happening.
Sidewalk just north of Covenanter and High street has poison ivy growing onto the sidewalk.
