This morning around 7:00 -7:30 while on my morning walk I had two mishaps with regard to the construction work around or near the 4th st. fire station. First, crossing Kirkwood st. A dump truck (Young construction) decided to cut me off at the pedestrian crossing at Kirkwood and Dunn st. Next, a large loader (Milestone Construction) decided to back up without looking. I was on the sidewalk all the time and was within inches of getting KIlled. I yelled very loud and the operator heard over the machine and stopped.
I do not believe I should have such experiences with just a simple walk.
I have noticed over many weeks that this project is a slip-shod operation with a lack of management. Perhaps IOSHA needs to be alerted.

Mad at a eugenicist so we instead honor a denomination that has yet to affirm LGBT people? Per the street rename on social media. For being a progressive City we continue to be tone deaf on issues of queer equality.

There are 3 houses on E Maxwell Lane, all next to each other, directly East of Park Avenue, on the South side of E Maxwell Lane that have not shoveled their sidewalks and it is dangerous. I believe they are all rentals and one is amn AirBnB.

Most audible signals around the square in downtown Bloomington are set too low to hear. As an orientation & mobility instructor it is difficult to train a future IU student how to train for cane and dog use.

Starting the 7th Street Bikeway project is great. I hope we have lots of low-traffic thoroughfares in twon some day. But finish what you started on Allen Street. There is no signs, no flashing beacons, no paint. Nothing that designates the street a low and slow traffic area. Cars drive way faster now with the "improvements" then they did with the hodgepodge pilot. Put some signs up. Paint the street. Put some flashers at the Washington St intersection and the Henderson St intersection. Allen is not finished.

I am not sure where to report this, but anything the City can do to stand with LGBT people during a time of ongoing hate would be appreciated. I was just looking through reports and saw the below, clearly indicating animus and negative stereotype toward the whole of queer people. I know hate will remain but I'd love to make sure the City's voice of tolerance and affirmation remains stronger. I appreciated the Mayor's remarks (and hopeful ongoing action) regarding the anti-Asian hate incident the other week.
Ureport "Other: After the these two fags or queer child molesters was caught sex trafficking adopted boys. And the Drag fags queen events & switchyard park all with in months of SB -145 in support of such sick shit. We need to pass a law to start public hangings by their rainbow flags down town on live tv."
