I'm trying out a new category since no one reads the other ones I've used. Every time i walk here i have to walk in the street for half a block because people park on the sidewalk (partly because hoosier workwear had concrete blocks that force cars onto the sidewalk)
Hello, my name is John Kelly and I am the senior bar manager at Kilroys Sports Bar in Bloomington, Indiana. I apologize if i am sending this request to the wrong department. Essentially, we wanted to get in contact with the city regarding the parking out front of our building during late night hours (11pm-3am). Our hope is that we could put in a request to have those spots blocked off during those times during the school semesters. The reason for this is due to safety. With more and more students being picked up and dropped off at the location by ubers, lyfts, etc, cars are constantly coming and going from the location. Our main concern is that when cars are parked in these spots, students attempting to cross the street or make their way to their respective rides are difficult to see for oncoming traffic. If this is at all possible on a semi-permanent basis going forward or even only for temporary large events such as the Little 500 weekend, please contact me at the email listed above and let me know what we need to do in order to make this happen, if possible. Thank you so much for your help and consideration in this matter!
A city plow ran aground taking with it the yard and sidewalk. How can we get this repaired? Thanks.
What the heck is up with this sidewalk repair? It's been torn up for almost a month! I would hate to be one of the residents in that area with the orange cones and equipment left in the street. With the decent weather we've had this winter, you'd think projects such as this would be completed quicker.
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.
The city fixed a busted pipe this winter and tore up the sidewalk. It is now May and the side walk is still torn up. Please fix.
I totally appreciate the desire of the city to annex more city to provide city services. I grew up on S Hays Drive and sidewalks would have been great. However, now I live IN the city and I still have no sidewalks. I would LOVE all the streets in Bryan Park Neighborhood to have sidewalks. The way they were done for the newer S Dunn street houses is great with the recessed street parking. Why can't one of Bloomington's oldest neighborhoods have decent sidewalks?
The sidewalk to the east of our front steps is cracked. A large mud puddle stays there, such that we need to keep it covered in straw in order for pedestrians not to slip and get muddy. This section is just next to the new sidewalks planned for the intersection of Fairview and Dodds streets. Including this segment in your replacements and repairs will allow an efficient, strategic improvement. Thank you.
I am the President of the Eastern Height Neighborhood Association and our community has been in desperate need for sidewalks along 10th Street from E Etter Drive through to Grandview neighborhood, as well as crosswalks to University Elementary School. The Grandview, Park Ridge East and Park Ridge neighborhood organizations are also requesting this, as well as University Elementary School. We understand the complications with the State, but a meeting is needed to begin the formal process of gaining walking access in this area. Not only will it allow our children to walk to school, but it will provide community members in Tamarron and Eastern Heights the ability to safely walk to the bus stop and access the University and downtown without the use of cars. Please contact me in order to discuss how we can help you help us. Thank you very much. Lauren Dula
Since I live at 4200 E Deckard Drive, I am a resident of Eastern Heights neighborhood and our community has been in desperate need for sidewalks along 10th Street from E. Etter Drive through to Grandview neighborhood. We also need crosswalks to University Elementary School. We understand the complications with it being a State road, but a meeting is needed to begin the formal process of gaining walking access in this area. Not only will it allow our children to walk to school, but it will provide community members in Tamarron and Eastern Heights the ability to safely walk to the bus stop and access the University and downtown without the use of cars.
