Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

Case Date:
2/9/2015

There is a curb cut on Hunter Ave, it seems have serviced a vacated alley, right behind 502. S. Hawthorne. The house owners have fence the area, so perhaps they believe they own it, but GIS sees it as an alley. I was walking down west on Hunter after dark on Sunday evening, and the shrubbery shadows the street lights. Even though I have been a neighborhood resident for 2 decades, I forgot that I had to step down when on the sidewalk, and I stumbled a bit, caught myself, but then hit the curb on the other side, and fell on the sidewalk, thus abrading my right elbow and knee. I see no reason for the curb cut, and am requesting that it be filled in. We have numerous people out at night walking dogs, taking the night air, and I can imagine a more serious accident here, especially if one is elderly (at 67, I fell pretty fit.) I do feel stupid that I was not paying attention to a hazard I have been aware of for years, but there it is. Here are the views, I could not get the upload to work (neither did the Choose Location link, but I am on a Mac using Chrome, and if your system is Windows based, therein may be the problem https://www.dropbox.com/s/qp74i2ruo2kvewh/2015-02-08%2010.04.23.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/qp74i2ruo2kvewh/2015-02-08%2010.04.23.jpg?dl=0

Sidewalk Snow Removal

815 S Larkspur LN

Case Date:
2/17/2015

I live in the West Point neighborhood. It has been more than 24 hours after the snow stopped accumulating yesterday (Mon., Feb. 16 around 6pm). Many public sidewalks abutting properties here are not shoveled. This includes up and down Woodhill Dr. and S. Larkspur Ln., and the adjacent side streets. This neighborhood has many people that normally walk around, enjoying the neighborhood, but now the sidewalks are hampered due to residents' and/or property owners' violation of municipal code. Please issue citations in this neighborhood, in hopes that people will take responsibility in making it a safe and non-hazardous neighborhood. Thank you very much! Happy Winter!

Sidewalk Snow Removal

Case Date:
2/18/2015

At the southwest corner of East Third St. at the 45-46 Bypass, there's a pile of snow that makes it difficult for pedestrians to move from the sidewalk to the crosswalk (heading east) or from the crosswalk to the sidewalk (heading west). I had to dodge briefly into the lane for cars. I know it's hard to keep all of the corners clear for pedestrians, but that's a busy corner, and even in this weather there are still some pedestrians out and about along that stretch of E. Third.

Street Snow Removal

Case Date:
2/19/2015

City did not plow and treat streets i Hearthstone Village in either od the last two snows. Nature's Way has the contract for drive way and sidewalk snow removal in Hearthstone village has plowed the streets somewhat, but not treated them. My understanding is that these are city streets. they have always ben plowed by the city before and my understanding that these streets are city responsibility. Please correct this oversight.

Case Date:

Hello, I contacted earlier this week because many people in the West Point neighborhood (Woodhill and S. Larkspur) did not shovel their abutting sidewalks. Well, again, 24 hours after this second snowfall many people have not shoveled. Now the snow is very high in this neighborhood. Please help get people to shovel here. Thank you very much, Brandon Williams.

The sidewalk abutting Electric Services Incorporated as well as BTECH Fire & Safety have not been touched at all after the past three snowfalls. They cared to have their parking lots shoveled, but the sidewalks are very much covered in snow/ice. Please help and inform them to shovel. Thank you very much!

Traffic Suggestions

201-257 North Union Street

Case Date:
2/22/2015

This request is for one additional No Parking sign on Union Street, just north of 7th Street. Bloomington Municipal Code 15.32.080 describes a No Parking zone on the west side of Union Street spanning from 7th to 175 feet north of 7th St. Currently this area has a yellow painted curb; however, when there is snow, the curbs are covered. I have spoken with Parking, who states they are unable to ticket when the yellow curbs are covered. I am asking that you please erect one (or more) No Parking sign to cover this particular No Parking zone. When vehicles park in this region, it makes it very difficult for vehicle to see traffic approaching from the north when turning from the west part of 7th onto Union St. I live on the SE corner of 7th & Union and often hear cars honking due to near-collisions—presumably due to poor visibility. I also drive a transit bus for IU; even in the bus, it is very difficult to see traffic approaching from the north. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding my inquiry. Again, this is already a codified no parking zone with yellow curb paint; I'm just asking that a No Parking sign be erected so that it remains enforceable when snow obscures curbs.
