Fess Avenue between 1st and Maxwell is very dark. No streetlights. I am requesting a light be put in between 821 and 823 S. Fess. It's almost pitch black.
From an international student friend who lives in the apartments off Hagan St: "The area where I live does not have many public lights. When we students come home late in the night, we get off the bus and it is very dark, it is kind of eerie to walk in such a dark area, even if it is just less than half a mile. It really strikes me that there is no public lights in an area like that, where there are hundreds of students. I was wondering if it is possible at all to contact somebody from the city government and request that a lamp be set up there -it is the corner of Hagan St and S. Park Ridge Rd. I guess students come and go every year and nobody really cares or speak up about things like that, which may appear insignificant, but kind of matter. It is so dark, that sometimes when I come back home carrying my laptop with me, I need to be careful so as not to bump into something and fall and break the laptop. It is like you cannot actually see where you are walking. I have wondered how these sort of things are handled here in bloomington. So I am just curious to know if you think there is something that can be done to get some public lights in these streets." - Lina Ochoa
(I have meant to send this for a couple years, and have since moved and no longer use this crosswalk, so things may already have changed). Please add or move the street light on the southwest corner (where the costume store was) of 10th and Bypass to where the south crosswalk begins (at the walk signal). People turning right don't always look for people crossing from the corner nearest the bus stop, and at night, pedestrians are really hard to see in the crosswalk, which runs parallel to the train tracks and heads to the apartment complexes and strip mall on the east side of bypass. Thanks!
On the east side of Walnut Street, the last three streetlights just before the 10th street intersection are out. This was observed on Oct 16th, 2017 at roughly 10:45pm
The street light on the east side at the intersection of 14th street and N. Walnut Street is out. This was observed on Oct 16th at about 10:50pm
This light hasn't worked forever and when it did, a candle would have been brighter. Heavy traffic area for people walking their dogs and joggers as well as bikers and this whole street is dark at night with the exception of one street light about a 3rd of the way down, and one at the intersection of Elliston and Bainbridge.
There needs to be 1 or 2 streetlights put it on east 12th street between Grant street and North Walnut. It is especially dark in between Lincoln and Washington street and at night you cannot see the sidewalk at all. Most people living on E12th street are students, many of whom have night classes ending as late as 9 or 10pm. My roommates and I specifically have classes ending at 8:30 and 9 when the streets are too dark to see anything. With the current atmosphere in Bloomington, many residents of 12th street feel unsafe walking home from class, work, or to their neighbors. Installing A street lamp or two would greatly improve the safety and comfort of people living on E 12th street. The attached photo shows just how dark the sidewalk is with out a flash light at night. No one should have to feel afraid of walking down their own street at 8pm and the addition of street lamps on E12th street can help fix this.
