City Construction Projects

The islands of trees surrounded by curbs that are being constructed in the roadways throughout the city.
I’m wondering why the city is installing them since they’re already responsible for the death of a deputy sheriff who died from her injuries sustained during a traffic accident in which she was responding with lights and sirens to a call got hit going threw a red light and the ambulance was called but unable to get there for an extended period of time due to the trees and curbs constructed in the roadways throughout the city leaving no room for the ambulance to navigate around pulled over vehicles. I thought that when the city removed the brand new islands that they had constructed that they would find a better speed diversion, or would at least limit the construction of new islands but instead we now have many islands that make it nearly impossible to turn onto certain roads and streets due to the lack of room because of the brick filled curbed islands and trees. It seems ridiculous to me that the people are paying for obstacles in the roadway that make it nearly impossible to drive on the streets in Bloomington. They are wonderful for bicycling and walking however seeing as the city of Bloomington does not enforce no riding bikes on the sidewalks I don’t see much importance in having bicycle lanes in the roads since people on bicycles are allowed to ride their bikes on the sidewalks, which is extremely dangerous in my opinion but I’ve witnessed hundreds of bicyclist on the sidewalks in the downtown district and on Kirkwood, where there are police station within feet of them riding their bikes on the sidewalk and no attempt to stop them has been made.

The easement behind our homes is blocked. We are requesting that access be cleared so that homeowners have clear access at all times. Most of the homes on Rogers and Milton would like to park and access their properties from the Access.

Conner of E Woodbine Ave and South Nota Dr. Sidewalk needs repaired and trees need to be trimmed. Tree limbs are low as 3 feet off the sidewalk. Pedestrians have to walk on the street (have to watch for traffic) or cut across their yard. Currently the city is repairing the sidewalks on E Covenanter Dr. (trees have rooted up) could the city also repair the sidewalk on South Nota and E. Woodbine Ave.? Thank you!

Good Morning,
There are two Downtown Bloomington signs located on the north and south end of the sidewalk between College Avenue and the Justice Building at 301 North College. Unfortunately, they have lost their luster, the anchoring points are looking suspect and they are impeding the maintenance teams ability to remove snow. I believe these signs are located in the COB right-of-way and assume that there is a formal process to request relocation elsewhere. Preferably down the street in either direction. Please let me know.
Thank you,

Turning right from 17th St onto Madison St is a nightmare. You're either going to hit the car that's in the lefthand turn lane on Madison St, or you're running over the decently large curb. The only cars that can safely navigate this are small cars. If you're a truck, SUV, or, God forbid, a city bus, you're in trouble. Cars don't turn at 90 degree angles. The radius of that curb is entirely too small.

Just east of the intersection cars r blocking thru traffic. The corner and roads have been closed due to building construction but the road looks passable. This intersection has been horrible in general.Because people park on the street, on all sides and it's difficult to move through even before the construction started. No, parking signs need to go up and need to be enforced if this is going to be an open street.
