There is still an intersection light out at the intersection of N Woodburn Ave and 15th street. The lights at the intersections in this residential area are essential for safe walking and driving and crime deterrence because not enough people (myself excluded) do not keep their porch lights on. As a result this area can be extremely dark which provides cover for various activities which might involve crime. I just had a break-in at my back porch door Easter Sunday morning (drunk student who thought he was home, he passed out and urinated all over the floor, police were called) despite motion-controlled lighting at my driveway and 24x7 light at my back porch door. I have had to install a police-dispatched security system as a result. But city lights (what few there are) MUST be checked and maintained. Why can't police patrols notice lights out?? I would like an answer via email. Thank you. Your attention to these matters is usually excellent. I hope it is regarding this matter.

The street light is on Jefferson and Roosevelt, by the eigamman parking lot. I would like for this to be fixed as soon as possible to ensure everyones' safety.

The street light in front of 4300 E. Jamet Drive seems to have issues with the sensor (maybe the wiring). It goes on and off every few secs.

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.

East Matlock Road is in need of street lights beginning from the corner of the 45/46 bypass continuing to the Headley School building. There are many residents, bicyclists, and students who use the street as a means of pedestrian passage to the stadium and IU campus at all hours of the night. There are only two lights - one on each end of the street - leaving the stretch in between to be dangerously dark and a hazard to walkers, bicyclists, drivers, and residents alike. Furthermore, with nearby cases of vandalism, theft, as well as the recent disappearance and death of an IU Student in the area, many residents have become concerned over the lack of lighting on the street. There are several utility poles lining the street where street lamps could be placed. The installation of street lamps would benefit not only pedestrian safety and visibility to drivers, but would also allow residents peace-of-mind with the added safety measures that lights would provide.

We would like a street light put in on the telephone pole across from our house (on 6th St between Adams and Ritter). There is a definitive dark spot in this area. Our house had an attempted robbery last night and our cars have been broken into numerous times - I believe that the dark part of the street may be a factor in some of this. If there was a street light, it may deter some crime. Other neighbors have reported their cars being broken into as well.
