A crosswalk with lights was put in on Henderson (near Brenda Lane & Templeton Elem School) some time ago, but the lights on the sign are too subtle for motorists to notice. At least once per week I have to put my arm out into the crosswalk to get a motorists attention to stop. The signs are around 10 feet off the ground--well above the eye level of motorists; and the lights on the vertices of the pentagonal sign are tiny and give off insufficient light. You need lights that are impossible to miss and at eye level. The city has lights just like this on Washington at E Smith Ave (beside the Allison-Jukebox Center). They are at eye level and you can see them from three blocks away.
Road is being blocked - this home appears to be running a mechanics shop out of their garage and they have accumulated 5-6 large trucks which they are always repairing as well as a gooseneck trailer making this area unsafe for pedestrians
In front of our home at 1314 S Grant there is a dip in the road that holds water for days and sometimes weeks after a rain. Last summer it served as enough standing water to be a bad mosquito breeding ground... would love for it to be patched such that it doesn't breed them again this year.
I totally appreciate the desire of the city to annex more city to provide city services. I grew up on S Hays Drive and sidewalks would have been great. However, now I live IN the city and I still have no sidewalks. I would LOVE all the streets in Bryan Park Neighborhood to have sidewalks. The way they were done for the newer S Dunn street houses is great with the recessed street parking. Why can't one of Bloomington's oldest neighborhoods have decent sidewalks?
One of my constituents is wondering why there are not more 25 MPH speed limit signs on Grant St. between Grimes and Hillside. Are you still in process of putting these up? Also, there need to be more on Washington and Lincoln along the same stretch, she says.
There is a pothole on S. Dunn St approximately in the center of the 1300 block. If left until winter, it will get very large.
Car has an expired registration and seems to be abandoned.
Pavement around storm drain has crumbled, making the grate a hazard.
Abandoned car left for months
