I cannot fathom why, every year, Bloomington literally decides to wait until the very first day of school to start a construction project on any main road leading to a school. Does that sound smart to you?? To ensure that all major roads leading to schools are down to one lane on the first day, almost certainly causing not only students to run late but parents late to work and likely more accidents??? Does that sound smart to yall?? It must because we’ve got construction on 10/bipass, bethel, and N walnut. Do. Better.
A porta potty and a large backhoe is blocking the sidewalk and the view to see if cars are coming and school starts Wednesday so this will make it hard for walkers and for the school bus driver to see around the corner.
Case # 204572: There have been 2 new reports of the same issue in the past week by random other people. It's an issue. The City's belief it is not impeding line of sight for traffic is dumbfounding at best. Have someone else in a regular sized vehicle drive west on Grimes from Lincoln to Washington and decide.

There is vegetation growing by the stop sign at the NE corner of Washington (southbound) and Grimes (east-west). Cars that are traveling south on Washington cannot see to their left at the stop sign with Grimes, and cars traveling west on Grimes cannot see to their right whether a car is stopped on Washington St. I have witnessed multiple near-accidents now, with many cars stopping behind the vegetation and then proceeding through the intersection without creeping forward to check for other cars on the cross-street.
Tall grass blocks the view of traffic and pedestrians at this stop. If travelling west along Grimes, the grass blocks the view of Washington to the right/north. Might not be a problem for trucks and tall SUVs but in a sedan or compact the view is completely obscured.
Brand new intersection —-ponding water on crosswalk. The water drained fine before the street was repaved.
Large tree limb has fallen and is blocking sidewalk off of Burks Dr and Walnut Street Pike
W. Dodds St. needs a double-yellow line between S. Rogers and S. College to make it clear that it's a two-way street there. Traffic coming from S. College onto Dodds has been going one-way before the turn, but nothing on Dodds indicates that it's now a two-way street. I was going east on W. Dodds recently when a westbound car was headed toward me on my side of the road. I honked loud and long until they moved over. But it wasn't really their fault since nothing after they turned alerted them to the fact that Dodds had become a two-way street there---no signage, nothing. Thank you.
