There are a lot of residents that have pets, and it is difficult sometimes to see to clean up after them. Also, as a single woman, it is pretty creepy in that area because it is so dark. Thank you for your consideration.
The city installed two very tall, bright LED lamplights as part of a project at the intersection of Winding Brook and Rogers Road, and The Stands and Rogers Road. These two large lights greatly increased the illumination directly into my primary bedroom windows on the south and east sides of my home and have created an ongoing nuisance that is visible from my condo 365 nights per year. This is unacceptable. Please assess these lights and correct this issue with more directional lighting (away from my residence, and, if possible, please use something other than LED. Thank you!
Mary Norman 411 West Howe Street Bloomington, IN 47403 To Whom: I am writing to ask if a streetlamp be installed between my property and the property next door. These properties are: 411 (mine) 413 (AirBB)… as this is the only way to our back doors and parking lot. There is a utility pole already set in the ground and wires attached. The south side of Howe Steet is where I live – there are 4 of us that have property here. • Odd Fellows (corner of Madison and Howe) they occupy that house once a month for a meeting. • My property – 411 West Howe – I am a fulltime resident and owner occupied. • 413 West Howe is an AirBB and is only occupied now and then. • Rehab house on the corner of Rogers and Howe – 4 units occupied off and on with only men It is very very dark on this street along with tree foliage that blocks out any light, On the corner of Madison and Howe is a streetlamp but it is dim and doesn’t cast a lot of light. As a single woman in elder years, I try to walk as much as I can but restricted at night due to the darkness surrounding this street. I installed a motion light on the roof of my house, but it only shines with movement. I am willing to pay or partial payment of installing a streetlamp between 411 and 413 west Howe street. There is a short street that separates these two houses and the only way to get to our parking lot and back door. Homeless people walk thru our backyard traveling to and from Shalom Center and the park up a block on Howe Street. Yesterday I saw a homeless person “peeing” between my neighbor’s trash and recycle bins. There is no respect for personal property in our back area. We butt up to the apartment building on Second Street. Countless times police are there with lights flashing. It really is NOT safe around here without proper lighting. Please set up a time for someone to visit this area during evening hours. It will surprise you that you cannot identify who is walking down Howe Street… AGAIN, I would be willing to fund the lamp as would the owners of the AirBB. We have discussed the security issue and pathway our back yard becomes. Thank you for taking the time to read my concern and solution. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I shall wait patiently for your reply. In regards Mary Norman 812.650.2823
