Hello, There is a street light out on W Dodds street between the 500 and 600 block. (the middle of the street).
Hopewell St, North of 8th St handicapped man reports multiple thefts, pitch black there at night
Can the city require Duke Energy to replace the HID street light bulbs with LED bulbs? Many companies now make direct replacements for these fixtures without rewiring. Is there a program to do this?
After recent incident on 12th street, it is crucial that 12th street is made more safe with street lights
yjere are no streetlights at all in the f section of south Hampton addition across from childs. It's very dark when the kids walk to school and unsafe at night. Kensington place has no lights at all.
Several city street lights out long Abby lane at intersections of Winslow, Durham, and camby. Is city going to fix? Very dark.
I am a resident living in between the intersection of 8th and Dunn and 8th and Indiana. I recently graduated from the Kelley School of Business-- which is less than a 15 minute walk from my residence. I often had class or group/club meetings that left me walking home when it was dark out. Luckily, for the 10 minutes I walked on campus, I had a well-lit path. However, for the 5 minutes it took to walk down 8th street, I had to use my phone as a flashlight to guide my way; everyone I passed also had to do the same thing. I should have written a request a long time ago-- but I didn't and the point is simple. Please, add lighting to 8th street and the surrounding streets. Everyone deserves to feel safe, and adding lights is necessary, and quite frankly, overdue. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
As an IU student who lived off campus this past year, I often felt unsafe in several parts of Bloomington because it was so dark. I strongly urge for the city of Bloomington to install lights on not only street corners but in the middle of streets. My neighbors house was broken into and that could have been avoided by the simple addition of a street light. My house was on a 10th street but even one street in was completely unlit. It is a serious safety concern for all citizens.
(I have meant to send this for a couple years, and have since moved and no longer use this crosswalk, so things may already have changed). Please add or move the street light on the southwest corner (where the costume store was) of 10th and Bypass to where the south crosswalk begins (at the walk signal). People turning right don't always look for people crossing from the corner nearest the bus stop, and at night, pedestrians are really hard to see in the crosswalk, which runs parallel to the train tracks and heads to the apartment complexes and strip mall on the east side of bypass. Thanks!
