Please, reading about Bloomington traffic, we are SO SLOW HERE (though need to obey lights better) so do not slow further. Can absolutely slow neighborhoods but the entire city shouldn't be neighborhood. There is essentially no E/W route. Traffic is worse for a town this size than any I have ever visited (have visited many). Thanks! We need real roads. Can grid some slow places but need more arterials.
Twitter User Charlie Trout (@jozliketheshark) made the following suggestion: Hey @citybloomington there have been two car accidents outside of my house today, I think it’s time to make 5th and Jefferson a 4-way stop
Checking if sharrows are happening soon on E Morningside bike lane. Bus went by very quickly this morning so was reminded of the need unfortunately. Was prior told would happen in Spring so hoping can soon as have started biking again. Thank you! Looking forward to their return!
This is in relation to a concern regarding an excavation project on the neighbors property, located at 3720 Brighton avenue. The neighbors project is impacting the run off from a storm drain which runs through his property. He is using the run off from the drain to fill several large ponds he has developed. The ponds are not properly reinforced nor is there a mechanism for controlling their overflow or run off. The result is that after this mornings recent rain, mud and debris are flowing from his property onto an adjoining piece of property owned by an hoa. I called four weeks ago to inquire about a legal permit which I assumed he had for the work. The employee who assisted me found that there was a permit in place for excavation which related to a proposed addition. We have not observed any home construction activities with relation to this excavation.
The city blocked some section of the road off (presumably to slow traffic). Now there is just yard waste and old hay bails left in them. It looks trashy.
