We had a request for extra patrols to monitor the intersection at Kingston and Longview. The caller said drivers routinely "fly through" the busy intersection, putting other motorists and pedestrians at risk.
Anonymous caller was upset that Truck #462 stopped at Crescent Donuts and bought a paper and a donut at noon today. He said, as a taxpayer, he pays for this man's truck and doesn't want him doing any personal business on company time.
Male caller said Adams St. near the old railroad tracks hasn't been paved in years and the City needs to do something about it. He said the pavement is so rough it routinely damages cars that drive over it, especially if they're going over 10 miles an hour.
Female bus driver said she thinks it's dangerous for City Sanitation trucks to block the entire width of the street when they're doing the trash pickup. She said she's afraid there will be a bad accident.
It is almost impossible to find a Section 8 home in this town. I hear its because there is so much money to be made off housing here. I want to know where I can find a decent home for my child and I to live. I've been looking for a decent home for almost 2 years now. I'm a great tenant, pay my rent on time, keep a clean home, and stay quiet. Despite these things, I can't find a home because we are low income. Where do I find a place to live in this town?!
Please forward this praise to the appropriate dept: If we haven't thanked the appropriate department already, on behalf of Bloomington Transit I want to give an enormous thanks to all the staff responsible for clearing the roads so that BT's fixed route and BTaccess (disabled transport) could successfully maintain operations last week during the awful cold and snow. We were one of the few transit systems in Indiana that did not shut down. Customers were very impressed and grateful and we owe this to you! - Eli McCormick, Customer Service Manager
I believe that a defensive driving course for all people operating city vehicles might be necessary. I followed a yellow city truck for several blocks this morning and at every stoplight and stop sign, they consistently stopped forward of the stop line completely blocking the crosswalk. It's not the first time that I've seen this, but this is the most recent example.
Yield sign at the intersection by Hinkle's and Klinedorfer's is facing towards the cemetery and not the road.
