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 streetlight is out at the corner of 9th and Indiana. There is also a pothole developing on the NE corner of that intersection.
Street light out
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.
There are no lights on the entire block of our street. It is a very dangerous situation, especially walking at night.

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.
ALL street lights on Patterson between Allen and Rogers are out. I've reported this before a month ago.
Traveling west/east on Patterson has become impossible, because the light at the Fairview intersection literally only allows 4-5 cars through before turning red. I understand the workers at Catalent (or whatever company is right there) need to get out, but there are usually no cars leaving that business, yet the light continues to turn red for east/west travelers. The light needs to be put on sensors or scheduled to match when employees are leaving their shifts. Seriously, it is super frustrating, and the traffic backup has made it impossible to travel that route. Please consider fixing this light.
