All street lights on Patterson are still out from Allen to Rogers. I reported this a month ago.
ALL street lights on Patterson between Allen and Rogers are out. I've reported this before a month ago.
The east/west bound traffic light only allows about 3 cars through before the signal rotates to red, allowing north/south traffic through even if there are no vehicles there. Causing significant traffic backup on Patterson.
There are no lights on the entire block of our street. It is a very dangerous situation, especially walking at night.
Eighth Street is extremely poorly lit. From Walnut all the way to Fess there are almost no street lights and its extremely dangerous. I feel unsafe walking home from the IU campus at night, or even walking home from a restaurant in the evening. The lack of street lights in this area is simply ridiculous. The city of Bloomington has an obligation to make sure its citizens are safe and it is neglecting to do so. The area that is the subject of this complaint is the exact same street in which Hannah Wilson was abducted and murdered, and within the last month the exact same street has been the location of an armed robbery. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that something must be done to make this area safer. The city has a responsibility to do everything within its power to protect its citizens, and adding a few streetlights hardly seems like an impossible task.
On 8th St. in between Dunn and Indiana there are absolutely no street lights and it is pitch black at night. One block up the street (towards Grant) there are some but none on our side.
The street light by my house which is also by a fire hydrant doesn't turn on at night, making our street look very dark.
There is a series of about eight decorative street lights (green metal, antique style) in the ROW that stretch from 411 N. Lincoln to 523 N. Lincoln along the west side of the street. They are similar to ones down near the Grant Street Inn. Several of them have been broken off near the base and all but one of them (the one in front of 411) are burned out. If they are not being used, maybe they should be removed because it's a pain to mow around them.
Caller left a message that the street lights on the south side of Kirkwood from Walnut to Indiana St have been out for 2 days
