Leaves were never removed from Greenbriar, Mayfair, and Arden neighborhoods last fall. Snow fell on top making snow removal a mess. Potholes emerged making it even worse especially where Wilton and Greenbriar merge. Then last weekend - city crews were pumping what I presume to be leaves out of the storm sewer leaving a huge mess. The entry to our neighborhood now looks really bad. Crumbling roads covered with muck and piles of dead leaves. What does one need to do to bring attention to this? When will the leaves be removed and the roads be repaired and cleaned up?

Leaving Winslow Farms today at about 7:10 am and traveling toward Winslow Road, we saw a City pickup truck on the new multi-use path heading toward the high school. There was a jogger who obviously had to get off the path to allow him to pass. The truck was going at a relatively high rate of speed--probably as fast as the street speed limit. The street was not crowded, though it is being ground down and is bumpy. That sidewalk is often very busy--trucks have no business on that path at any time.

I was a bit disappointed with the dangerous traffic situation I had to navigate on Monday morning due to the City of Bloomington's careless job site. Grimes is being resurfaced it looks like. I was heading north on Dunn and came to the intersection with Grimes. There was no sign to indicate the road was closed. I could not go straight on Dunn across Grimes because a City dump truck and other vehicles had the road entirely blocked. I could not see traffic to the west on Grimes because a City street sweeper was parked right at the intersection blocking the view (and there was another piece of equipment behind it). I could just barely see the intersection at Grimes & Henderson to try to guess if traffic was coming from my east. The City had a big machine parked just east of Dunn on Grimes that had a dump truck backed up to it for tearing up the road surface. I made a decision to go for it, and turned out onto the wrong lane of traffic to go around the construction. There were 5 city employees in bright colors standing on the sidewalk chatting, just watching this traffic hazard. Other people were driving through trying to navigate the broken up road and the blocked streets, intersections, and egress without any assistance from the City employees on the job. This is dangerous. Just close the road! Or put some people in charge of directing traffic so we know when it is safe to proceed and not risk hitting another citizen or getting run over by the various machinery moving about. This was pretty ridiculous even by Bloomington standards (which, are actually quite low it turns out!).
