Hi! We live on South Banta Avenue, and because the road is on a hill, and also because it provides a shortcut between Tapp Road and Ralston, we routinely see cars charging up and down the hill as fast as they can go. (Today we watched a truck moving uphill actually pull over to one side and make a complete stop to allow a sedan to shoot downhill past it, still accelerating.) This is terrifying, as we have two young children, one of whom is still under two years old. We routinely bike with the kids in tow, and the most frightening part of our entire journey is the short time we have to bike up or down our own street. There have been two accidents at the corner of Tapp and Banta within the past week, and a neighbor's cat was run over recently as well. I'm not sure what a workable solution would be, whether posted speed limit or children at play signs would effectively change motorist behavior. There are numerous families with children in the neighborhood, and since most of Banta Ave has neither sidewalk nor curb, children trying to move from their homes even to the neighborhood park at the Broadview Learning Center are in considerable danger--this is true throughout much of the Broadview neighborhood area. As for South Banta Avenue, I would love to see a few speed bumps put in. I'd even welcome a few giant potholes. Seriously. I hope that the intersection of Tapp and Rockport is scheduled to become a traffic circle in time, which I hope will alleviate this problem eventually. But in the meantime, I would appreciate any feedback as to what might be possible for our street, and if there is anything that we can do. Best, Kate Schramm 2706 S. Banta Ave Bloomington

I drive to work on west 2nd street, and our building is at the top of a hill. Every road I could have taken on my journey there is covered in snow, and I narrowly missed several accidents because of the amount of snow on the roads. It's a bit ridiculous how bad the plowing job on busy streets such as 2nd and 3rd are, and it needs some serious re-evaluation. My tax dollars are doing lots of good work to keep me safe, clearly. Please fix this, otherwise many people will get seriously hurt in accidents that can be avoided.

Large pothole in alley that runs parallel in between Fess and Henderson street, perpindicular between 1st and Maxwell. If you're coming in to the alley from 1st street, the pothole is on your left about 20 feet in. It is huge and now with the snow makes driving down this alley hazardous.

The handling of the snow that started Thurs Dec 6th and into Friday Dec 7th has been completely unacceptable. Major roads such as 45/46, 10th street, 3rd street, College Mall, and more are in a disastrous situation. There appears to have been no plowing and no salting at all despite plenty of advance warning and a long accumulation time. Please rectify this.

W. Green Road, just west of Rogers, is a somewhat pronounced hill. After residents driving on the snow yesterday it has turned to ice, making it difficult (impossible) for some vehicles to make it up the hill.

Very large pile of snow blocking sidewalk (next to SUV)and near transit stop. Hillside and just west of Longwood. Many other examples of this along Hillside too.

Disappointed that the collection was so slow this year to the south side. We will be stuck with our leaves under the snow for the rest of winter.
