Street name signs atop stop sign at corner of 800 Block of University Dr and Woodlawn are bent and sagging until completely vertical. Difficult or impossible to read while in a car.
reported a street light out and I reported wrong one. It is by 648 Woodscrest not 709 south wynnwood. It needs a highsodium bulb. I will pay for the bulb if necessary. Ken Nunn 709 south wynnwood.
There is still a DETOUR AHEAD sign on southbound Union St. between Law Ln. and E. 10th St. that I believe is left over from utility work that IU did 2-3 years ago on Union St. at 10th.
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.
On 3 recent occasions, I have seen cars going south on N Forrest Ave blow through the intersection at E Cottage Grove Ave (at the SE corner of Luddy Hall) without even slowing down for the stop sign. The first 2 times I saw it, I just chalked it up to new student drivers but on the 3 time I took a closer look at the intersection and think I see the problem. There is a tree in front of the stop sign that totally obscures the view of the stop sign until you are basically right at the intersection. See that attached picture that I took standing in the middle of the traffic lane that shows the exact view the driver sees. By the time they see the stop sign it is way too late to stop. I'm not sure what the best fix is but trimming the tree seems like a simple option. There is a huge amount of foot traffic in that area during the school year and I would hate to see someone hurt at this intersection. Thanks!
Street name/Stop Sign damaged and vandalized. Should say, Cottage Grove Ave.
At the top of Wylie St where it meets Fairview the school bus driver has reported the tree is covering the Stop sign.
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.
Stop sign appears bent face down touching the ground. Exact coordinates from Google maps are 39.1555811, -86.5411486
One of the stop signs (west bound I think) at University and Jordon is completely obscured by plant growth. I’m concerned there will be a car accident if it is not trimmed
