The crest of the hill on 8th street has inadequate lighting. People on the sidewalk are invisible for security purposes, and cannot see obstacles to walk safely. A neighbor hit my car door because he could not see it. People leave their porch lights on all night, so we have some visibility.
The street lights at the intersection of High Street and Covenanter have not been working properly for at least a month. While driving in the morning, it is extremely dark and feels unsafe.
Street light at the bus stop is still going on and off. When I pass it between 5:45 & 6 am it goes out or is already out
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.
I lived near the intersection of 8th and Dunn this past school year. I felt extremely unsafe being outside after dark due to the lack of lighting around. I think the street, and its residents, would be much safer if there were more street lights.
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.
There is an area on S Weatherstone Ln, which I marked on the attached map, that needs street lights for safety reasons. There are no street lights in that area currently.
I would like to put in a request for street lights, hopefully in a contemporary style (crosses fingers), along N. Oolitic Dr from W. 11th to W. 12th. Along W. 12th from Oolitic to Lindbergh. When I say "contemporary style," I mean some kind of design like this https://www.archiexpo.com/prod/neri/product-52638-897284.html#product-item_895830 No matter, just lights in general would be appreciated.
I would like to suggest new street lights. There is a school cross walk at Templeton School on Henderson Street between Hillside and Grimes. There are families that use this cross walk in the morning prior to sunrise. A street light there would be very helpful. I also believe street lights at all school bus stops would be beneficial to students waiting for the bus in the dark. Thank you.
The drive/alleyway to the left of my residence is unlit and pitch black at night. It is dangerous to walk to and from my car or trash bins at night. I spoke with my landlord and he said that it is city property. I would like some kind of streetlight or floodlight installed.
