FINSISH THIS PRJECT
So my driveway and the sidewalk has been completely gone for a month now, without any notice from the city. Progress... It has been replaced with loose gravel, a mess of heavy equipment traffic, and ... nothing for many weeks now. My wife cannot drive her small car over this mess without bottoming out. I haven't been able to drive my motorcycle over this mess because it's too soft for a full touring bike. The contractors spend all their time making an even bigger mess of soft gravel. Mayor Hamilton: when will you make this virue signaling mess a priority? I want my front yard back. I want my driveway back. I want my sidewalk back. FINISH IT SOON.
I had previously filled issue 180907. The contractor has not contacted me regarding repair of the damaged sidewalk due to fiber installation. Could you please urge the contractor to remedy the damage to my cement pad. When they installed the fiber, they lifted the cement pad so it is no longer even with the sidewalk making it a tripping hazard.
To Paul Regarding Report #181821. The area is the cement pad between the two trees between the sidewalk and street. The contractors undermined the area under the cement pad and used heavy machinary lifting the cement pad and using heavy machine causing a trip and safety hazard causing an elevation in the cement pad. Attached is a picture. I believe the contractor needs to repair this safety hazard.
The weeds along the street are overwhelming the sidewalk in this area. Not sure who is responsible for upkeep--city or adjacent property owners.
I would like to request a sidewalk ramp / crossing be installed at the SE corner of Walnut St Pike and Winslow. It looks like there has previously been an accident there and now there is a concrete barricade and guard rail preventing the pedestrians from crossing. So either the pedestrian has to make a somewhat dangerous crossing there, or cross three extra times to go around and back. Thank you! Michelle Giansante
Damaged guardrail on culvert side of street. Can be seen from google maps. I first reported this situation last summer (2016) and was advised city was awaiting contract and materials. I reported it because I feel it could become a safety hazard during the winter months with slick and icy streets.
The sidewalk contruction on E Winslow Rd has been going on since winter. The project has more says with no one working on it than working on it. today I saw only 4 men on the whole project and none of them were doing any work at 11 AM. Lots of road projects in Bloomington are started and then left abandoned for months. As a resident I don't like this. If they start something they ought to work on it till finished then move on. Im frustrated with the disruption that has been going on for 7 months for a very small project.
Honeysuckle and other vegetation on the south side of E. 2nd St. is obstructing part of the sidewalk for a block or so east of Woodscrest Dr.
The speed limit between I-69 and the first traffic circle to the east on Tapp road has been 30MPH since I've lived here. There has been road construction on this road for 10 yrs. Finally it appears that improvements are over. I am asking that the speed limit be increased to 40 mph. There is nothing on that road warranting such a low speed limit and it only serves to be a speed trap. I literally have to use my brakes or 2nd gear to drive slow enough on the hills to keep it at 30 mph. The speed limit on North Walnut north of 17th st is 40mph and there are businesses on that road. Please review this and hopefully end the speed trap and make driving more enjoyable. Thanks
