The safety rail overlooking the water on the north side of Miller Showers is missing on a few feet of the railings. It's the north side by the 2 concrete face statues. This is a safety hazard and a child or dog could easily fall through.
Not sure if this has been addressed, but around 11am today, the southbound light on Hershey at Empire simply would not turn green (but the left turn arrow seemed to work. This went on for 4 cycles before I turned off onto Empire instead of waiting.
The left turn arrow from northbound S. Sare Rd. for vehicles turning left onto Moore's Pike frequently cycles on for more than a minute when there are no cars turning left. It stays green even longer than the opposing left turn arrow for southbound vehicles turning east that actually had cars turning. It backs traffic up on College Mall Road significantly. I've seen this malfunction on multiple occasions.
This possibly is not so much a pothole as sunken pavement, but the effect is the same. Right as Tapp meets Leonard Springs there is a bad area that goes across most of Tapp Road, and it is necessary to come to a near stop to avoid being jarred, even if one has already stopped for the new traffic light.
I live at 1101 N College Ave, and I also work from home. Each day for hours at a time, city buses park on College Ave just in front of my building (15th and College, just in front of White Orchid Flowers and across the street from Big Red Liquor) for hours at a time. The out-of-service bus currently parked outside the building (0345), engine running the whole time, has been parked there for nearly two hours. I recognize and value the availability of public transportation. But the buses are loud. With double paned windows, the sound of the bus engine permeates my whole apartment, over and over every day. Please please find another place for the buses to idle, whether out of service or waiting for a route. It affects both my home and work life.
I am on the Gentry Qtrs.HOA board and wanted to compliment and thank the work crew who fixed the water leak at Gentry Quarters Condominiums on College Mall Road on 10/20/2015. The crew did a great job of fixing the leak and cleaning up the muddy mess that was the result and did so in a reasonable time. Its nice to see that kind of service from our city workers.
The alley running west off Pine Street between Kirkwood and 6th has numerous potholes. it is paved where it comes off Pine and it is this section that is very rough and needs attention
Lots of glass where you turn right onto 37 from vernal pike
Dear Parking Ticket Grandparent, Your "Notification of Overdue Citation" says that I can pay online at www.bloomington.in.gov; however that is the homepage's url, that is not where I would make a payment. The correct url to make a payment is two pages past the homepage. We want to make it easier for people to pay their bills. So rather than having them type in a url that makes them have to follow a couple of breadcrumbs, why not send out a notification with the correct url. https://bloomington.t2hosted.com/cit/index.aspx Or you could go the other way with it and go one step further. Tell that a payment can be made at www.google.com
The "Notice of Overdue Citation" paperwork that is sent out directs people to "submit a payment to:" www.bloomington.gov I did not find a box to fill with a "submit" button. That's because that is not the url for submitting a payment. Which is a good thing because that would never make sense to design a website with everything on the homepage. Of course the correct url is: https://bloomington.t2hosted.com/cit/index.aspx If they are going to give a url that is unnecessarily three steps before the actual url, why stop there? Just tell me to submit it to google. Anyway, website and mobile apps folks, thanks for not having a submission field on the homepage, and next time you run into a transportation grandma or grandpa let them know that their notifications are bad, and that they should feel bad.
