To the Department of Transportation, Could you please update me on what is going on with the traffic light in front of Batchelor Middle School at the corner of Gordon Pike and S. Rogers Street? For a while this summer it functioned as a traffic light rather than a four-way stop. I assumed that when school started it would be used as a traffic light again. In addition, I was told at the Batchelor Open House that the city has told the school they can't use the new lane they installed to allow traffic to flow through at drop off time (7:30-7:45). I understand the hesitation with using this lane, as it could upset the north/ south traffic. However, I have noticed after a week of drop-offs, that there is rarely any traffic going south on Rogers at that time. Perhaps the lane could be opened to right hand turns only. If the traffic light were used during that time period it would help the traffic flow much more smoothly. It is currently backed up a quarter mile south on Rogers and west on Gordon Pike which would be eased by a traffic light at that time of day. I am sure many other BMS parents and south side commuters would love to know what is going on with this intersection. Thanks, Eve Cusack

There is an abandoned Red Honda Accord on the corner of E Vermilya Ave and S Walnut St. It has been there for atleast a month with out being moved-- there are weeds growing up around it so I has probably been much longer. You can even find it parked in the exact same location if you go to the street view on google maps it is parked on the curb between 100 and 103 E vermilya Avenue! Needless to say it has been there for a long time. Attached is a picture of the back of the vehicle with make/model, liscense plate number. Make: Honda Model: Accord EX Liscense Plate: 953TKS Location: Parked on Street between 100 and 103 E Vermilya Avenue

The stop sign on S Stull Avenue at E Maxwell Ln, going south, is obscured by a tree and can't be seen by drivers. I am a police officer with IUPD. A woman flagged me down to let me know that she was concerned because she had seen someone run the stop sign because of this issue. I went to the location and confirmed that the stop sign was hidden by leaves. She does not have email so I told her I would report this to the city to try to get it fixed. Thank you!

Hello - I wanted to ask if the city could do a better job decorating for Christmas this year. We moved up from Florida last year and was very surprised that there was no Christmas tree in the city center, and meager decorations -- just some strings of white lights on the courthouse. It didn't feel festive or beautiful or special. It's important, maybe not for students, but for families, older people and also business owners, I would think, to have a festive, Christmas-y and beautiful downtown. Please, Bloomington, put up a big Christmas tree this year on or around the courthouse square, and have a special lighting ceremony, with Christmas and holiday music. And do Christmas decorations on the lamp posts on Kirkwood, and maybe string lights over the avenue (like in the photo attached here, of Clematis Street in West Palm Beach). It's these things that make a town really wonderful. Or not. Thank you, Margaret Menge
