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!).

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.

Is the city finally taking the opportunity to fix the dangerous to pedestrian and hell to car crosswalk on 10th? Please say it's getting fixed to be better now that there is construction happening there. Anything would be better designed.

One square of sidewalk in front of the house was replaced last week. A pile of excess cement mixture was left on the lawn next to the replaced paving and has now dried. It is going to be a pain when mowing, and also looks terrible. Please send someone to remove and dispose of the excess/abandoned cement from the yard.

This is a sightline/sign issue, I am Bob Loviscek and I reside at 605 N Smith Road. The picture that is attached is from the end of my driveway looking South. The address of this issue is 601 N Smith Road. The treeline on this property is creating a significant safety issue by not being able to see northbound traffic coming on Smith Road. The trees also have overgrown to the point they cover the Bridge Height sign. I have emailed the offices of HAND and Planning and Transportation to help correct this problem and it still has not been taken care of. Any assistance would be appreciated before someone is hit coming out of my driveway. I can be contacted at 812 219 4749.

Snow Plow issue last week. My street, Cedarwood Drive, gets one pass with the snow plow down the middle of the street. It is a two lane street. This pushes all of the snow in front of my sidewalks, street, driveway and mailbox. This makes it impossible for me to move all of that snow to use my area for parking on my street in front of my house, impossible to access my mailbox by me or the mailman and impossible for me to place my garbage cans in front of my house for pick up. A few years ago, the plows would come both ways and do a better job. These past few years they are doing a very poor job. We did have a lot of snow last week, but since then it has been clear. I can see why they needed to do one quick pass initially, but they should have time to make a second pass and clean up the mess they made. I intentionally did not have any cars parked in front of my house for the reason to keep it clear for the snow removal plows. There is no reason they needed to leave five feet of snow on the street in front of my house.
