Street Lights

East Cathcart Street

Case Date:
3/6/2017

I'm the homeowner at 2424 E. Cathcart St. A light pole was recently installed, but the light fixture has not yet been installed. The pole is directly in front of our house. We don't want this street light shining into our home windows at night. We are requesting a light fixture on that pole that is a "dark sky" type, which only shines downward, not 360 degrees. That light would otherwise ruin our nighttime, contaminating us with unwanted light from the street. I don't know who is or will be responsible for this installation. Amazingly, no one has contacted us about it.

Biking & Walking

East 7th Street

Case Date:
8/9/2017

In the transition from Longview Ave. to E. 7th St., the asphalt multi-use lane turns into a double-wide cement sidewalk. I've always stayed on the path because it links directly to the underpass at the bridge and seems and extension of the bike path. But today someone told me, "Get off the sidewalk idiot!" I pride myself on following the rules of bicycling. AQm I right or wrong to be using that stretch of cement? Also, Smith Road between 3rd St. and Moore's Pike is a disaster for bicyclists--way too narrow to safely bike on the road, but only a cement sidewalk on the west side, which then vanishes to become a multi-use path on the WEST side of the road, which then vanishes again at the corner of Moore's Pike to become a sidewalk traveling west. How can my kids safely ride their bikes down Smith Road!?

Potholes, Other Street Repair

East 11th Street

Case Date:
6/26/2018

Good morning Is this road ever going to be repaired? Someone made a big deal about this a while back, and we were told it is the city's responsibility and would be repaired after graduation. It is almost July and the situation keeps getting worse. As seen in the attached picture, the water is always there. It is constantly leaking from the sewer. The road in question is East 11th and Fee Ln.

Trails

Early History Trail

Case Date:
4/19/2016

Several of the bridges on the trail at RCA park have severe damage. One of them has been broken for weeks, the other has several broken boards and has become unsafe in the last day. There is also a deep pot hole in the asphalt. I am sending pictures of the problems. I greatly appreciate what all of you do! Thank you!

Unsafe Buildings

Early History Trail

Case Date:
4/26/2016

The footbridge at the entrance to the trails is falling apart - it's probably one child jumping on it away from collapsing and causing injury.

Street & Traffic Signs

Eagleson Ave

Case Date:
9/18/2024

we have a high volume of traffic. The traffic is in the form of many cars, buses, bikers, scooters, and walkers. There are no speed limit signs on the street. Additionally, there is no pedestrian crossing. Additionally, I would like to request a stop sign at the corner of University and Eagle Avenue. This is to slow traffic. Currently, cars and buses drive over the speed limit as a regular Habit. It is loud, and dangerous to the other Traffic, such as walkers. The cars are dominant on the street. Even if there is a parent with a baby in a stroller, they will still run through the stop sign and drive around the baby. It is chaotic and out of control. It is also very loud. Something needs to be done to address the situation. My suggestion is pedestrian crossways at first and Eagleson, University and Eagleson, and a stop sign at University and Eagleson. Additionally, we need some signs that tell people what the speed limit is. It should be 25 mph. It is a residential neighborhood.

Blocked Sidewalk

E Wylie St near the intersection of S. Walnut on the north side of Wylie.

Case Date:
7/30/2024

There is a growing campsite on the north side of Wylie, not far from the intersection of S. Walnut, that is effectively making it impossible for some individuals with special needs to use the sidewalk there. This is not in a secluded area, but instead directly by a home in a residential area. This is a mixed issue. Not only is this campsite impeding foot travel, it is also against Bloomington policy by being an overnight campsite on public property.

Blocked Street

A large tree has fallen across about 2/3 of the street leading into the cul de sac. It's been there all day so it appears no one is doing anything about it.
