Large, deep gap between fiber vault and sidewalk. Tripping hazard
Hi. After witnessing my third or fourth car accident in the past six months at the exact same intersection (when walking on the sidewalk every time), I would like to request the installation of a traffic light at Longview and Pete Ellis. This intersection, only two minutes from my house, is undeniably dangerous and (I am 99% positive) fatal at least once. The faster traffic on Pete Ellis doesn't have a stop sign, so when cars on Longview turn, it is hard for them to detect those fast vehicles. I have almost been hit crossing the street it is that bad. Today, December 22nd, a friend of mine was seriously hurt in an accident at that intersection.Despite the costs of a traffic light and the work it will entail, I do not want to risk my life and my friends' lives and the lives of other citizens anymore. I might send an additional, more detailed letter to the mayor if this does not go through. I sincerely hope you consider this proposal. Thank you.
There are several sidewalk cuts along Washington Street in front of the AT&T building that are covered with smooth metal pieces. These metal covers provide absolutely no traction when wet and are very dangerous for pedestrians. Can these please be replaced with the more common covers that have raised ridges to provide some traction?
Is it possible to have a crosswalk painted on 3rd at Rose? Today I saw a blind person trying to make the crossing. Per the email below, a few years ago, it seemed this was a possibility. Yes. There will be marked crosswalks on 3rd at Rose. On Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 10:51 AM, Schertz, Hannah H. <hschertz@indiana.edu> wrote: Thanks for the response. I have noticed the bike stripes.

Thanks, Hannah -- Hannah Schertz, Ph.D. Indiana University School of Education 201 N Rose Ave. Bloomington, IN 47405 812-856-8146 From: Adrian Reid <reida@bloomington.in.gov> Date: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 10:49 AM To: HSchertz <hschertz@indiana.edu> Subject: uReport request Good morning, Thank you for your uReport request regarding Rose Avenue. At this point, the likelihood of a sidewalk on Rose Avenue is very low. You probably have noticed changes on 3rd Street as a result of the City's Greenways Implementation Plan, however. Rose Avenue in the segment you describe is designated as a neighborhood greenway as well. So you will see some additional signage and striping at the 3rd & Rose intersection if you haven't already. Thank you again for your uReport request. Thanks, Adrian
Overgrowth encroaching on sidewalk on the SOuth and east side of 7th across from the Realto. Many of the street trees have low hanging branches. FYI to add to the maintenance list.
Overgrown vines covering sidewalk. Only about 5 feet but makes it impossible to use what little sidewalk is on walnut. Thanks
June 25 storm. Very large evergreen/pine trees blew over. Insurance says it’s the city’s responsibility to clear the blocked sidewalk. Myself and my neighbors cannot see to exit our driveways. Feel free to contact me for any questions. Thank you!

I'm the manager of Big Red Liquors. I have had several issues with the intersection in front of my store. It has been frustrating over the past couple years, but my recent incident has pushed me to want to request some signs. First, a right turn on red must yield to U turn. Too often have I had close calls from people not only failing to yield the right of way, but running the red light while doing so. I've nearly been hit multiple times. Second, I believe a no left turn sign is needed on the south side of the intersection. Our entrance is purposely designed so vehicles can not enter from that direction (per the request of the city). There have been accidents due to people making a left turn. Not to mention the angry customers who don't recognize that the entrance isn't made to accommodate a left turn. They have seriously damaged their vehicle attempting to enter our parking lot. Finally, I have had a very serious issue with people driving through our parking lot at a extremely dangerous manner, to avoid the street light. They speed through thr parking lot, drive over the sidewalk, and have caused accidents. I have nearly been run over multiple times. As well as other employees, customers, and our delivery drivers. I would like to request some kind of sign stating that it is illegal to use our parking lot to avoid the intersection. Thank you for your consideration.
South side of 3rd St, between Woodscrest and Overhill, there's a construction sign and posts laying down across the sidewalk and completely blocking it. Thank you!
