Lots of mud on 17th and Dunn due to construction for apartments across from Memorial Stadium. Also, the City of Bloomington app to report issues is no longer working with iOS11.
Last night a semi drove through the neighborhood. When they turned from W.7th Street to go south on Adams Street, they knocked over the stop sign located at the southwest corner of the intersection of 7th & Adams. It will need reset.
large, deep, dangerous pothole
For over 17 years we have lived close to the corner of Dillman and S. Old 37. As I type yet another traffic accident is being cleaned up at this intersection. It is time to have a 4 way stop put in. No more rumble strips, or intersection signs or yellow blinking lights, or cutting back the tree/brush line. (well, that does need to happen:-) This has got to be one of the most dangerous intersections in town. People coming off of 37 drive down old 37 like they are still on the highway. With the amount of houses, buses and children that are living in the area I would have thought that something would have been done by now to fix this problem, which is a serious safety issue to anyone trying to cross the road. The solution of a four way makes since and would not hurt the pocket book of Bloomington. If it is an inconvenience for people to stop then so be it. This has gone on for far too long and all attempts to do something, in the form of rumble strips,intersection signs,yellow blinking lights etc., by the city/county have just been band aids not real solutions. Please take my request seriously. Many of us living on the south side have children who are reaching the age where they will be on the roads as young drivers. As an adult with over 20 years of driving experience, I dread approaching this intersection or even pulling out of my own driveway near this intersection. Its a death trap and a game of chance. Thanks so much for your time. Regards, Nelson Cano
On East 17th Street in front of the Devault Alumni Center (1000 E 17th St) there is a well-used pedestrian crosswalk. The white stripes are faded and at the crest of a hill, which makes them difficult for cars to see. A sign in the center of the roadway to highlight where the crosswalk is would be more eye-catching and will help drivers notice the crosswalk. The crosswalk is also right across from a bus stop, so this causes further confusion for drivers, who may be unsure if people are waiting for the bus or getting ready to cross. If a new island type sign was erected and the bus stop was moved 40-50 feet east of the crosswalk, I believe it would make this area much safer for pedestrians and drivers.
Pothole on Moores Pike going north - blue and white for sale sign near it. Before you get to the Fields Apartments. Bent my right front rim and lost my hubcap. 5/6/13
The location is only an estimate, but I drive on Moores Pike almost everyday to know that this is a new pothole. I couldn't take a picture of it since it's on a very busy and narrow road. It's hard to see when driving since it blends well with the asphalt and it's at an angle where it can't be seen because of the hills. Even if it were visible and I tried to avoid it, it would be difficult since the road is narrow and there is oncoming traffic almost all the time. But I can tell you that it's pretty deep, that it damaged one of my tire rims. I attached a photo of the damage. Please let me know if there is anything the city can do to help cover the cost for repair.
2holes getting larger at the turn - east rush ridge rd and rush ridge fork- about 1/2 mile off hwy 446
There are two areas where large cracks have developed in the street. They are at 2022 - 1996 Arbor Ridge Way and 1990 - 1972 Arbor Ridge Way.
Now it is possible to walk to the head of the Clear Creek Trail safely crossing Tapp Rd using the Adams St roundabout. There is a curb cut on this roundabout that needs repair. The rectangular region is missing its bricks. Instead there are boards with nails sticking up.
