Parks & Rec Programs

Case Date:
10/8/2018

Hello, I couldn't find a more appropriate forum or contact information to use for this concern. I'm not sure if there are anymore movies in Bryan Park for the season, so if not maybe this could be applied to next year. I am wondering if the event could have a sort of rule for bringing lawn chairs. It would be really nice if folks bringing lawn/camp chairs could sit on one side and others with blankets and sitting on the ground could sit on another side. I was grateful to spend time with a friend watching a movie put on by the parks system. We came early and were prepared with blankets but ended up having to rearrange everything multiple times before and during the movie because of individuals coming in and setting up chairs in front of us, therefore blocking the screens. I know that there were plenty of people around us with the same issues. I think having a split down the middle of the lawn would be an easy way to make this a non-issue. (I am not including folks who need adaptive seating, as theirs' should always be a primary concern and I assume there is a place in front for accessible spots already in place.) Thank you so much for taking the time to read through my report and please pass it along to another individual who may be a better resource. Have a great day! Kam

Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues

Case Date:
10/10/2018

Four scooters were parked at 7:45 today transversely on the sidewalk on fourth street next to Taste of India. They are blocking the sidewalk. If someone with a wheelchair of a baby stroller gets to this point, they won't be able to use the sidewalk. This is just an example, but in general these scooters, which have recently appeared in Bloomington, are usually badly parked. Also it should not be allowed to ride these scooters on sidewalks since they travel very fast! Please do something to regulate the usage of the scooters. Best regards, Carmen

Traffic Suggestions

Case Date:
10/11/2018

I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed changes to the traffic flow on Walnut, College, Atwater and Third Street for the following reasons: Traffic congestion on third street due the numerous busses that stop at each bus stop would make travel east on third street trecherous for drivers and pedestrians. Changing Walnut and College would require changing parking configurations and meters, a cost that is not small. There are many other more pressing needs in Bloomington for individuals with limited incomes, like housing. Also, if in fact there are facts to back the statement about cars going 40 Mph, why is there not a way to change the lights to prevent a person from reaching that speed. If in fact, that has found to be a problem by local law enforcement. Delivery trucks often block one lane of both College and Walnut and with two way traffic there will be traffic interuptions and the possibility for drivers taking dangerous risks to be able to get by the parked trucks. I have not seen evidence that crossing s street with two way traffic is less dangerous than crossing a street with one way traffic. We live in an age where instant gratification is rampid so people will take risks crossing the street, as I have seen. I saw a comment from one business in town, Gratzis, that wants the change. I have not seen that a survey of the other businesses has found. However, I question whether this is a business recommendation based onother cities or what. I can only hope that the outside company that is making these proposals has experience in working with communities with Bloomington’s unique town and gown population.
