on the south side of Smith Ave just east of Walnut St (the north boundary of 405 S Walnut, Chocolate Moose), there is a strip of gravel between the sidewalk and the bike lane. the gravel frequently enters the bike lane and has caused my kid to fall there. its my impression that planning dept zoning enforcement is supposed to prevent this landscaping choice?? ps the photo is old but the problem is still present today. thanks!!
Not really an issue per say. More a general question. For people walking down third street is there any way for them speed up the light change when there is no cross traffic coming? I normally try to give it two minutes to change? I've noticed it doesn't change automatically unless there is physical cross traffic sitting at the light. Some nights I have enough time to truly wait other nights when running late waiting there is far to much time in my own opinion. If there isn't that's cool. As I said I'm just curious. Thank-you for your time :)
East side sidewalk snow and ice packed. High traffic. Also the city piled snow and left 5 foot piles blocking the paths that people use to go from the fields to the neighborhood and then bus stops. Both paths that lead from pleasant view to Clarizz treacherous and difficult. A lot of people use those to reach public transit.
After making a purchase (at 11:41:55am 1/10/25 according to the receipt) at World Foods Market I left and continued on foot to Kroger. Before reaching the corner with Walnut street I slipped and fell on the the sidewalk north of World Food Market's west parking lot, next to where they park their van. Some of their sidewalk is very well cleared, but the part north of the west parking lot is inadequately treated (and the sidewalk to the west of the west parking lot, as well).
The Hawthorne -Weatherstone path is still entirely unplowed. The giant pile of snow at one end was reduced but it is still entirely impassable on a bike. I reported this a week ago and nothing has been done. https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=200058
The owner of the shopping center where Kroger is located. Is not clearing the sidewalks of snow & there is nothing but slippery ice as of last night on 1/13/2025. I assume that other property owners further East & West of the Kroger bus stop area for this shopping center, are neglecting sidewalks as well.
You have previously notified me that this location of sidewalk next to bus stop on south-side of road for Kroger on East side of town, is "Resolved." However, this sidewalk is merely trampled snow from people walking through the snow, to where said unshoveled snow has now become a worse issue: It is now a thick layer of slippery ice waiting for a accidents to occur to pedestrians. It either needs to have the ice plowed-up & removed or it need an enormous amount of salt to make it safe. Just because an unshoveled sidewalk has been trampled-doen by pedestrians into a thick blanket of unsafe ice, does not 1ualify this sidewalk as "resolved." Please clarify your intentions to remedy this sidewalk into a safe one for pedestrians.
Sidewalk unshoveled & unsalted in front of daycare center.
Sidewalk on N. Smith Rd for Granite property has remained unshoveled & unsalted since first snow fall of this year, forcing as a disabled man to walk in the street.
