I’m trying to request the emergency/urgent request of the streetlight across from my home. It’s been out for awhile, and I also contacted DOT about trimming the trees/foliage blocking the speed limit sign and the undergrowth that was blocking the streetlights ability to do what it’s meant to do prior to the light going out. I am now requesting an URGENT replacement of the light due to safety concerns that began Monday night when I was attacked at the gas station nearby. I’ve had a lot of unknown vehicles passing my home at all times of the night, but can’t see enough to give any significant info to the officer who took my report. I am concerned under the circumstances that the people involved may continue to retaliate and I’m even more concerned for my kids. I have a blink camera and a ring doorbell, but neither can show any detail without that light. Not to mention the neighborhood is completely dark unless the neighbors turn on their porch lights, which I can’t make them do. Add in the fact that we’ve had coyotes and large bucks in the area, having such a dark street can be dangerous for pedestrians and drivers at night, especially since my home sits on the wrong side of a blind curve. PLEASE get this taken care of immediately. I’ve done everything I can on my end. Now I’m dependent on you. Thank you in advance.

There is an URGENT need for a stop light at the intersection of 10th street and John Hinkle Place with Woodbridge Apartments. Specifically, children are crossing that intersection every day to board school buses. I have personally witnessed occasions when cars traveling both east and west in 10th street have had to apply brakes in an emergency manner to avoid fatalities. I can assure you it is only a matter of time before pedestrians and vehicles will be involved in accidents resulting in fatalities. The City of Bloomington is hereby put on notice that unless this emergency situation is not addressed the result will be fatalities. As an attorney, I can assure you that the City is legally liable WHEN these fatalities occur. Thank you. Randall Smith 650 Woodbridge Drive Bloomington IN 47408 Telephone: 812 325 1226.

Hi, there is a crosswalk across Kinser Pike between 2 sets of apartment buildings. The sidewalk ends here, so people have to cross the street to get to the bus stop, gas station, or grocery store. There have been a few times where people have been crossing the street at night in dark colors and it has been impossible to see them until you have just enough time to brake. I think a street light or a crossing light is necessary to prevent a pedestrian incident in the future.

There is a bus stop at south clarizz blvd and woods at Latimer, however there is no street light near the bus stop. It is very unsafe and difficult to access the bus stop after 9 pm or after 5 pm in the winters. And since it’s a busy street it is often dangerous to cross the road to get to the apartments nearby. The turn for E stratum way and s clarizz blvd also needs a street light! As a woman I feel quite unsafe trying to get to my apartment later in the evenings

Drivers don’t have pedestrian crosswalks in their line of vision! I have to wave my hands to get the attention of some cars turning right in front of me onto the highway. I’ve seen them shocked to see me. I points to the crossing sign and they look mystified. That’s a problem not to overplay this, but statistically pedestrian accidents on in suburbia, and on highways or streets, and make situation is skyrocketing, I don’t want to be one of them put a Second crossing sign on the Mouradian that’s where drivers expect to see it, meaning, that’s how far they are looking while they’re looking at everything else, too, like crossing traffic, merging decisions, timing, their own lights . They’re not looking for us walkers. So I need you to correct this with immediate instillation of bigger better pedestrian crossing warnings and signs. Thank you.

Cont. Attention to more aggressive crossing lights. I reported this intersection, with its crosswalks and pedestrican cross lights, as being inadequate, given the frequency that drivers do not even sense that they should look way across six lanes of traffic to decide if they should wait for me or run over me. I mistakenly wrote the whole note referring to “crosswalks”; what I meant to write (couldn’t find an edit function after I sent it) pedestrian cross LIGHTS within the drivers’ line of vision. Would you attach this to the other unreported? Much thanks. Sorry for my error.
