The east side of South Dunn Street between East Dodds Street and East Wylie Street is crumbling and breaking apart. The photo doesn't show this very well, but the rut running along the side of the street is fairly deep and could easily damage a car tire or rim. The asphalt looks like a heavy truck passed over it and broke it up.
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.
A previously repaired pothole at that intersection is beginning to sink.
Don't know if this can be addressed or not (as I don't know if it is a city or private street light - I assume it is a city light) but we live at Dixie and Dunn and the street light at that location (on the south west corner of Dixie and Dunn) goes in and out and flickers consistently throughout the night which can be disturbing when trying to sleep or when our 10 month old is trying to sleep. More importantly, it reduces visibility and safety when it is out. Unsure if this can be addressed but we'd really appreciate it! Thank you much.
The traffic signals are not in proper progression, wasting energy.
Parents and staff have shared that you cannot see westward from the SW corner of Fess and Grimes due to overgrown bushes and trees
Tree blocking entire sidewalk on north side of Grimes. I might have placed it in wrong block, but it is mid-block.
My residence is located at 724 S. Washington ST. Two years November the Street Department performed pipe work in the middle of the street in a 2 to 4 block section. At the conclusion of the project the section of street was patched. Since then the section has been re-patched and re-patched. My concern is one of safety. S. Washington is a main thoroughfare for the Police Department traveling at high rates of speed. Loose gravel is sprayed every time cars drive through the area. This is also a highly used street for cyclists who commute to IU and other locations. The loose gravel from the re-patching creates unsafe pbike travel. Lastly, this section of street is unsightly. The bike lane lanes and curbs are unpainted and the patch work is broken and pot holed. I would certainly appreciate it if the City of Bloomington Street Department would take a close look this Spring at a more permanent surfacing of this section of street. Thank you!
The pavement on Park, just south of the intersection with Wilson, is crumbling. There are several areas with no pavement at all, just gravel.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk near 902 S Lincoln. A child's foot could get stuck in it, it is definitely dangerous.
