The "Stop at the Stop Bar" sign is missing. The sign and the pole have either been removed or stolen because you can see where it once was placed.

This is a sightline/sign issue, I am Bob Loviscek and I reside at 605 N Smith Road. The picture that is attached is from the end of my driveway looking South. The address of this issue is 601 N Smith Road. The treeline on this property is creating a significant safety issue by not being able to see northbound traffic coming on Smith Road. The trees also have overgrown to the point they cover the Bridge Height sign. I have emailed the offices of HAND and Planning and Transportation to help correct this problem and it still has not been taken care of. Any assistance would be appreciated before someone is hit coming out of my driveway. I can be contacted at 812 219 4749.
Relevant to ticket #169078, does this mean the first sign ("City of Bloomington Authorized Parking Only") is to be ignored entirely? If so, what purpose does it serve? I find this signage confusing and I know I'm not alone.
per ticket #169110 I'm told this lot is publicly available after 5 on weekdays and per ticket #169078 I'm told the public can also park here on weekends. Why is this not indicated in the parking restriction signs?
Follow up to ticket #169125 These signs read as 'City of Bloomington Authorized Parking Only' with no day or time qualifications (so 24/7) and Mill parking permits may be used M-F 8-5. There is absolutely no indication that there is a time when 'City of Bloomington Authorized Parking' is not in force. Yet I'm told this lot is publicly available on nights and weekends (when, apparently, 'City of Bloomington Authorized Parking Only' isn't in effect, but it's unclear how anyone is supposed to know this since no hours are posted for that prohibition).
Bethel Lane construction. For weeks this community has continually been taken hostage by a private company attempting to “fix” water lines. This company continuously blocks traffic at unnecessary times. It seems to always when school is letting out that they decide to keep traffic stopped, even though they, and the City ya ensured the county they would not hinder this traffic and work with the schools for ease of traffic flow. I find it extremely frustrating that the City of Bloomington would care so little about about it’s residents and families. This heavy traffic and blocked traffic pattern has cause myself and many others late from picking up a child at school or getting home to get a second child attending a different school. I hope that some one from this office or one from above can look at these many projects around Bloomington and actually manage them in accordance to the community and just not profit margins and revenues.
Most all of Maple Street is marked as No Parking, except a short distance before it intersects with 11th street. 2-3 cars consistently park in that short distance, fully occupying the right side of the road. Cars turning onto Maple from 11th cannot see when a car is approaching the intersection on Maple, and the cars on Maple are forced to stop on the opposite side of the road, causing near miss accidents daily and excessive honking. I would like to request that the “No Parking” zone be extended all the way to the stop sign as all residences (including the apartments in the photo) have designate parking areas. The intersection is also frequented by school and city busses, causing even more danger.
The pedestrian signal on the SE corner of 11th and College is missing the signal you would look at to cross 11th southbound. The whole yellow box the walking man and his nuh-uh hand live in is simply not there.
The stop sign at W 3rd. and S. Fairview is grown over with weed trees. They are so large they are obscuring the driver's view of pedestrians at that stop sign. Could you please cut them (or some of them) down? Thanks.
In connection with uReport Case #178466, I now request that the intersection of Fairview and 13th Street be converted into a four way stop. If BPD is unable to enforce traffic laws due to staffing issues while there is an identifiable problem that causes citizens to fear for the safety of their body as well as their personal property, then there needs to be more constraints on the ability for people to get up to high speed on a residential street. Thank you.
