All Stop signs and speed limit signs on Henderson St., from Miller Dr. to 1st Street seem to be invisible because no one ever heeds them. I would think Police presence would help, but perhaps public works could do something to convince motorists that this is not a major, high speed artery. We have a school, a park, and many pedestrians.
Yesterday (4/8/13) I saw a car, traveling 40-50 mph, narrowly miss a college student at the bus stop by Blacks Lumber. Also two children have been hit in the Templeton School zone this year. This is a problem.

Increased traffic patrol by officers in the North Maple area would be greatly appreciated, for a couple reasons:
1) In the N Maple/15th St area, there is a motorcyclist who loiters and frequents the area between the hours of 7-11, off and on, who speeds/squeals his tires up and down the street, revs his engine, and drives recklessly, seemingly for fun. This has been an ongoing issue for months, but recently has become an every day occurrence. It's currently happening right now, 7:50pm on a Wednesday, and woke me up from a dead sleep at 10:30pm on Monday. Aside from the loud, incessant noise polution, his reckless driving is going to eventually cause damage to life or property.
2) At the intersection of Maple and 11th, there is a three way stop that half the people in this neighborhood completely ignore. I've had more than one close call there during my morning commute. People tend to roll through the stop sign, and only slightly hesitate, in an attempt to beat out whoever is coming the other way. Aside from being rude, it's super dangerous.
Please assist with these issues. It's become very nerve-wracking to live in this neighborhood lately because of inconsiderate drivers/bikers. I was hoping it would go away after school let out, but it appears to be a townie issue.

East Second Pedestrian footbridge. Overhanging shrubs. City's responsibility or adjacent home owner's?

Though this is not a sidewalk or curb issue, I saw no other category that would fit my complaint. Overhanging branches in the 1500 block of E University. They hang so low that I can't drive under them without hitting my radio aerial.

TO whomever patrols SR#37 just north of Bloomington (heading north). THANK YOU for stopping to check when my car was on the side of the road with my hazzard lights on. I SO appreciate the stop. I had called AAA and they were on their way, but I was SO glad that an officer (two different ones) stopped to see if I needed assistance. My flat tire was immaginary (AAA guy was not amuzed but accomodating). The road is bumpy and my indicator light said I had a flat tire, so I did what I thought I should do. So much for BMW indicator lights - they are a bit too sensitive - but I want to THANK those of you who check on stranded motorists. It is so very much appreciated and comforting.

I live at Campus Court apartments at 2036 N Walnut Street. Behind the "F" building, there is a narrow lane connecting the parking lots, and the curb is designated as a fire lane. There are two individuals who park in the lane, every single weekday, from approximately 6pm to midnight. I have spoken to them in person and asked them not to park in the fire lane, but they return every day. The apartment management is also aware of this problem. I was hoping that the cars could be towed or cited for parking in a fire lane. Thank you!

I called the Bloomington police department this evening to report a noise complaint (someone in the apartment complex adjacent to mine is playing incredibly loud rap music). I was told by someone on the phone that the noise ordinance in Bloomington does not start until 11 pm, however, section 14.09.030 states that "Sound that is clearly audible to a person with normal hearing from any place other than the premises from which the source of the sound is located, when the sound occurs between the hours of nine p.m. and seven a.m., is prima facie evidence of a violation of this section." The lady was pleasant, and told me that she would send someone over to look into it, but she was convinced that the city of Bloomington's noise ordinance did not go into affect until 11 pm. Might be worth looking into.
