I took my 3 year old son to Bryan Park yesterday and a man had a dog with him that was poorly restrained (on a 25 foot cable). My son was running towards the toddler playground when the dog ran after him and knocked him down. The dog was on top of my child for several seconds and while the dog didn't harm my son, it was a very frightening experience for him. I don't want him to be afraid of dogs, and I've been trying to teach him to appreciate animal companionship. I don't know what the rules are for leashes in Bryan Park, but dogs need to be handled better, especially near or around the kids' playgrounds. I didn't get the man's name or information but I took a picture. He was walking on a bright orange tightrope and he had a white dog (young, probably a puppy - this is the one that chased my son) and a black dog.
The road in front of my house is eroding away.
On the updated parksmart page: "The first three hours of parking are free in the following locations: Walnut Street Garage, Fourth Street Garage, 4th and Washington Lot, 6th and Lincoln Lot, 3rd and Washington Lot". The garage listings in the next section do not reflect this and just give hourly rates. Please clarify on this page which is correct - whether the first 3 hours are free or not, as it will help residents and visitors decide where to park for planned trips to downtown. Thank you!
The sidewalk in front of our house has many cracks. Some of the places it is cracked are raised up a few inches which can cause tripping. In addition, we have pipes that run under our sidewalk and out to the street to connect to the main sewer. The clay pipe that runs under the sidewalk has roots growing into it. In order to replace the pipe we need to take out the sidewalk. We are hoping that since the sidewalk needs replacing anyway, the city could let us know when the sidewalk will be torn up and replaced so we can have our plumber ready to replace the pipe while the sidewalk is up. Thank you for staying in communication with us about when the sidewalk will be replaced with a safer one.
There are a series of potholes in the 'funnel' on Lincoln at Dixie. There is no escape.... no return.... we're doomed !!! Thanks, Roger
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk near 902 S Lincoln. A child's foot could get stuck in it, it is definitely dangerous.
The pavement on Park, just south of the intersection with Wilson, is crumbling. There are several areas with no pavement at all, just gravel.
My residence is located at 724 S. Washington ST. Two years November the Street Department performed pipe work in the middle of the street in a 2 to 4 block section. At the conclusion of the project the section of street was patched. Since then the section has been re-patched and re-patched. My concern is one of safety. S. Washington is a main thoroughfare for the Police Department traveling at high rates of speed. Loose gravel is sprayed every time cars drive through the area. This is also a highly used street for cyclists who commute to IU and other locations. The loose gravel from the re-patching creates unsafe pbike travel. Lastly, this section of street is unsightly. The bike lane lanes and curbs are unpainted and the patch work is broken and pot holed. I would certainly appreciate it if the City of Bloomington Street Department would take a close look this Spring at a more permanent surfacing of this section of street. Thank you!
pile of branches from previous storm that is about 3 feet tall, 4 feet wide and 6 feet long. It is currently in my street parking spot and the pile is not blocking the bike path, nor the rain gutter along the sidewalk nor the sidewalk, thank you
