This “historic fieldstone sidewalk” is a TOTAL DISASTER to actually walk on. My teenage son walks, but has limited mobility and requires support to stay upright. This sidewalk was completely unsafe for him to use. We had to cross mid-block on Dunn (also not very safe) to a usable sidewalk on the west side of the street. This may be “historic” but it is NOT ADA compliant. Please make this sidewalk safe for all to use.
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.
City of Bloomington has not mowed adjacent to the paved pathway they purchased from us last year at the corner of S. Henderson & Moody Drive.
A citizen called to report a concern and wishes to remain anonymous. According to the caller, for two months there has been no construction on the bike path off of Sare Road. There are still signs saying 'sidewalk closed' as well as 'construction ahead' but it appears that the construction has stopped. Lastly, the Spicewood II sign had been taken down and since put back up but the citizen is disappointed there has been no landscaping done and the limestone around the sign was broken.
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!
It has been 11 weeks since Millstone tore out my driveway and the sidwalk. It is still an awful mess. 3 weeks ago I got a notice from them that they would be replacing my driveway “this week”. It is still a terrible, muddy mess that struggle to drive through. No progress on the driveways anywhere in 6 days. FFS WHEN is this going to be completed? I want my damned driveway back. It’s almost September.
FINSISH THIS PRJECT
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!
The part of the curb on the West side of Sare Rd, as showed in the picture, protrudes into the lane unexpectedly and narrows it. As you can see it has black tire marks and the cement is chipped as well – indicating that cars hot the curb all the time. We walk or run there every day and this is an accident waiting to happened. A few days ago, as we were walking along, an SUV hit the curb, right there, and continued to weave for 50 yards. If it had jumped the curb we would have been hit. Generally speaking the walking path is too close to the road and a guard rail should be installed between the Hyde Park Village and at least to Spicewood.
Heavy, metal sign support with three sandbags has been sitting on the sidewalk for weeks. It blocks wheelchairs and is hazardous at night. Please ask whatever department that left it there to remove it. Thank you.
