See case #207337. The response did not explain why it is ok for these people to store a portable toilet on City property in full view of the neighborhood. It is standing in the "Tree Plot" right by the street. This is City property. Please ask the builders to move their latrine to the back of the lot where people don't have to be continually reminded of their presence.

1720 N Kinser PIKE
- Case Date:
- 2/3/2026
The northbound side of N Kinser Pike at the intersection with SR 45 could desperately use a dedicated right turn lane, as traffic often backs through multiple traffic light cycles. I already reached out to INDOT and they said that they don't have any funded projects on their end. BUT they would be willing to work with the city if we wanted to take the initiative. See below:
Case #: CS0513872
Request Description: The northbound side of Kinser Pike could use a right-turn lane where it intersects with SR 45 in Bloomington. Folks frequently use the shoulder here as a makeshift turn lane but it is full of potholes and not well-suited for this purpose. A dedicated turn lane would greatly help improve throughput during busy times when the light is very short. There is ample room to expand, and it appears that the lots already belong to DOT and the Indiana DNR.
Resolution: Thank you for contacting the Indiana Department of Transportation. Our Traffic Investigations Engineer has reported a turn lane would require widening with full-depth pavement and utility relocation. INDOT does not have any funded projects to construct a right turn lane at this location. If the City would like to pursue the addition of a turn lane on Kinser Pk, they can work with INDOT Permits. Construction season is in full swing, stay safe! Buckle Up, Phone Down.

There is a hole in the alleyway that causes a significant risk to pedestrians. This is just near the sidewalk area and pedestrian entrance to the 4th Street Parking garage. We have placed our own cones near the hole to try to protect folks, but the cones have been moved several times for cars to use the alley. This is an immediate hazard that needs to be fixed ASAP. Thanks, Brian

Snow piled up in front of left turn lane so there is no visibility. Traffic turning left onto 69 North from eastbound lanes of the 45 Bypass cannot see oncoming traffic, creating a hazard
Blocked Sidewalk

These gates are blocking the sidewalk of half of this block. Also to mention there is snow everywhere and nothing is properly shoveled to get to the street(?) where I’m assuming
folks are supposed to walk instead? It’s treacherous. How is it they are allowed to block the sidewalk for what I assume is construction that hasn’t even begun?!? I have a business on this block that this directly effects. I need to be able to walk on the sidewalk here. Pedestrians need a safe way to walk here.
