Sidewalk & Curb Complaints
- Case Date:
- 8/9/2018
On July 20, 2018 I sent a request to this department regarding an accessibility / safety issue related to a sidewalk and crosswalk (Case #165230). It was opened by Melissa O'Neil on July 20, 2018, but I was never notified of any consideration taken. Might it be possible to have a response provided from someone in the department?

Please see attached photo. This location is at 10th and Park and has been reported to the IU Grounds Dept. as a tripping hazard. The gray bucket is there to indicate a bus pickup for the Boy Scouts that are in town but the metal and the sandbags are blocking the sidewalk, our crews moved the items off the sidewalk and into the homeowners yard. Please pickup. Thanks Jill.

Last year, the section of the sidewalk at Washington and Cottage Grove was replaced, but the workers left a trench in the road that collects water and breeds mosquitos. I couldn't help but notice when similar work was done this summer on 10th street and a layer of pavement was laid alongside the sidewalk to fill the trench there. Probably just an oversight but it'd be nice to get this job completed.

Good afternoon. I live at 415 W. Graham Drive on the south side of Bloomington. I am writing in hopes of having a two- way stop become a four-way stop at the cross roads of Graham and Madison streets (and possible speed bumps put in). I have noticed (a lot) of drivers who turn on to Graham accelerate to a high speed because the west/ east of Graham does not have to stop at the intersection where Madison crosses (north to south). I cannot tell you how many times I have heard breaks squeal because the driver at the stop sign does not realize that cross traffic does not stop. Graham has a very high volume of foot traffic whether it be pedestrians walking to the bline, or their pets, or children walking home from the school bus. This makes for a very dangerous situation. I realize this is not a residential neighborhood- it's more of a city street, but I am concerned for everyone's well being and I believe making that a four-way stop would aide in motorists to slow down and be more aware of their surroundings.
Thank you,
Amanda

The sidewalk along High Street just south of Hillside has been closed on both the east and west side of High Street, with no consideration for pedestrian traffic. Couldn't some consideration been given to pedestrians here?

Blocked sidewalk. Ok it’s been a week since I had to hop off my bike going west on 3rd across from the Red Cross. I realize it’s not a priority for them. They are focused on the hideous mixed use apartment construction but this is a public walkway.

Not nearly as dangerous if you are not visually impaired but I first encountered this last Wednesday. The other was there on Tuesday if not before.

Sidewalk at 3rd and Patterson intersection (near Patterson Pointe development) is blocked and unusable by pedestrians. There is no cautionary warning or protection for unwitting pedestrians much less for the wheelchair or blind users of this public sidewalk.

There is a significant amount of vegetation encroaching into the sidewalk along the northeast corner of the High Street roundabout. We use this sidewalk to connect from our Sycamore Knolls neighborhood over to the Jackson Creek trail, and it has become extremely difficult for our young kids to navigate this on their bikes. Can this please be trimmed back?
