I am not requesting a sidewalk, only that the city finish a sidewalk project it started a long time ago. Three years ago the city installed a new sidewalk on the south west quadrant of Kinser Pike and the 46/45 Bypass. A black fabric erosion barrier was installed and never removed. This eyesore has been in place since the completion of the project. The State of Indiana is unable to mow this area because of the obstruction. It would be nice if the city would remove this so it can once again be mowed. According to the city this area is part of the "scenic gateway corridor" to Bloomington. For the past few years it has been anything but scenic. Thank you for taking a look at this situation. Regards, Jeff Stevens, Owner, Harley-Davidson of Bloomington 812-333-8300
The ground near the cablebox is sunken which caused the other end of the section to raise up. The section affected crosses properties of 3313 S Southern Oaks Dr and 3307 S Southern Oaks Dr
I am the homeowner at 3817 S Woods Edge Bend. Can the city repair my sidewalk? My insurance company is saying this is necessary, and I don't know how to get this done.
There is a significant residental population in this area, especially with the Meadow Park apartments. However, in the area specified in this request, there are no side walks, and only a tiny gravely shoulder for pedestrians and bicyclists to "safely" for lack of a better term, to travel westbound on 10th road. Could we look into building better bike paths and sidewalks on that stretch of road? The rest of 10th street has them, and N. Smith Road has bike paths that end just right where the problem area begins.
The alley between 423 and 425 S grant st needs some attention. There are pot holes and many bad areas. We have repaved our lots already.
We recently moved to Bloomington and chose specifically to live within walking distance to our daughter's school, we're within a mile. Unfortunately, there's no viable route to her school b/c there are no sidewalks adjacent to University Elementary on 10th street. This is a significant issue for the surrounding community. We're new so I don't have all the numbers but there are at least 10 students at University in our neighborhood alone and based it's a safe assumption that the neighboring neighborhoods have a large number of students who are not currently provided with a safe alternative. For a city with a great walkable/bikable reputation I would expect this to be a high priority for our city. This is also a common route for cyclists (recreational and competitive) and seems like it would have already been addressed. Please advise.
Requesting a sidewalk connection between the Eastside neighborhoods on 10th and Smith to University Elementary sidewalk on corner of 10th and Russell Road. I see many people, including parents with young children, having to walk on the busy road or in side slopes/drainage ditches if they choose to walk to school. Thank you for considering and for all that you do.
