I would like to request cracked sidewalk sections to be repaired. Many thanks for your help with this.
Anytime Fitness (presumably the location at 2894 E 3rd St #160, Bloomington, IN 47401) has placed 12 yard signs on the median strip of SR46, closest to the intersection at East 3rd Street. They are already starting to come out of the ground, and will likely start to end-up in the roadway soon, if not removed. Please remove, cite, and/or advise the business that this is not acceptable.
See case #204983. That one was for a "For Rent" sign put up by Brawley in the ROW in front of 508 N. Washington. Apparnetly, they have been informed but they have done nothing about it and the sign remains after a month. Now, "Cedarview" (+ "10th & College") has done the same thing - signs in the ROWs all over town. Lincoln/10th, for example, but others downtown. The question is: since these signs have been left on public property, are they considered trash? And if so, can anyone just pick them up and toss them in a dumpster? Give us permission to do that and we will be happy to take care of them as residents and not wait the weeks (months!) for HAND or Planning to address the issue with the perpetrators.
West info sign on sidewalk needs repair - exposed nail/ sheet metal on south side of sign +/- 12” above sidewalk
Brookdale busibess sign in right of way
There is an individual that has multiple "yard/garage sale ALL WEEK" signs posted on city road signs, as well as on some sort of easel/stand situation which is located on the eastbound side of W. 3rd St., across from the entrance to what I believe is S. Yancy Lane, where they live and have posted the other signage attached to the city/county signs. Please remove these signs immediately, and advise the person that this is not acceptable.
Twice now over the past 4 days, I have been walking in the middle of this crosswalk across High St, and a car coming the other way does not stop and drives around me, once when I had two children behind me. Both were white female drivers in their 60s/70s. Perhaps their vision does not see the white painted crosswalk area OR the yellow signs, but I'm thinking they are choosing to break the law. Mateo is a wonderful crossing guard, but he was not there either of these two times. This area needs to be repainted with high visibility/reflective paint, a blinking light on the signs, or at the very minimum, monitored by police for a while. Someone is going to get killed.
There's a spotlight in front of the old folks home that shines into the road (east moores). the light faces east. it's very distracting/misleading driving towards it at night. I believe the light is supposed to illuminate a sign or tree.
Temporary signage placed illegally without permitting, with inferior attachment plan causing not only a distraction for passing traffic but also posing potential dangerous threat in inclement weather.
