Right under the grey ‘West Services LLC’ on the pole is a purple sign ‘Handyman, Decks, fences’. If the West Services sign is illegal, then this new one is too.
As you approach the stoplight at 3rd Street and Indiana - heading west - there are 2 manhole covers in the right lane before you get to the light. If you hit it, it feels like you've hit a big pothole as the asphalt around the cover is significantly lower creating a pretty big drop off. Every morning, I myself and everyone in front of me is doing their best to avoid it - either by swerving into the bike line or the left lane.
Road has gotten extremely deep potholes over the past year and residents are worried that during the winter cars will slide down onto the main road. Last winter potholes were not as deep and cars still slid into the main road almost causing collisions multiple times. this is the only exit for many houses as it is a one way road.
broken glass from car wrecks in the bike path needs cleaned up, major safety issue
Sidewalk with severe damage

The bridge that is located here has some pretty big damage from being it over and over by moving trucks, box trucks, etc.. It was recently hit again and now has some noticeable damage of some broken rebar ( think that’s the name) that are now broken and sticking out. My concern is that the bridge that has a train go over it daily.. is not sound anymore after being hit so many times over and over. We drive under this bridge daily and I’m concerned it might fall or pieces break off. Has it been looked at by an engineer and after the last time it was hit? I think there is only a sign right before the bridge that people are not noticing until it too late!

Yet another accident in front of my office again... I hold the city of Bloomington and the state of Indiana responsible for the idiotic and dangerous changing of the lanes from 4 to 2 with a crazy middle turn lane where cars come head on at each other trying to turn left. I urge you to remove the bike Lanes and remove the center turn lane and turn this back into four lanes. People are going to get killed.
