Street Lights
200-210 East 12th Street

There needs to be 1 or 2 streetlights put it on east 12th street between Grant street and North Walnut. It is especially dark in between Lincoln and Washington street and at night you cannot see the sidewalk at all. Most people living on E12th street are students, many of whom have night classes ending as late as 9 or 10pm. My roommates and I specifically have classes ending at 8:30 and 9 when the streets are too dark to see anything. With the current atmosphere in Bloomington, many residents of 12th street feel unsafe walking home from class, work, or to their neighbors. Installing A street lamp or two would greatly improve the safety and comfort of people living on E 12th street. The attached photo shows just how dark the sidewalk is with out a flash light at night. No one should have to feel afraid of walking down their own street at 8pm and the addition of street lamps on E12th street can help fix this.

This area needs a street drain. Every time it rains water pools at this corner making it difficult for people walking down the sidewalk to cross the street. During the winter, this turns into a block of ice making it very dangerous for people crossing the street. Children in this neighborhood walk to Child's Elementary School and have to jump over the puddle of water when it's warm and try not to fall on the block of ice that form here during the winter. Please install a street drain in this location. Thank you.

The sidewalk on the east side of Sare Road, just north of Jackson Creek, appears to have been the site of a recent one car accident, with quite a few Pontiac car parts littering the sidewalk. The adjacent light pole also appears to have been hit, and parts of the lamp are on the sidewalk as well as across the road (on the west side of Sare). Thanks for your kind assistance!

Traffic Suggestions
201-257 North Union Street
- Case Date:

This request is for one additional No Parking sign on Union Street, just north of 7th Street. Bloomington Municipal Code 15.32.080 describes a No Parking zone on the west side of Union Street spanning from 7th to 175 feet north of 7th St. Currently this area has a yellow painted curb; however, when there is snow, the curbs are covered. I have spoken with Parking, who states they are unable to ticket when the yellow curbs are covered. I am asking that you please erect one (or more) No Parking sign to cover this particular No Parking zone. When vehicles park in this region, it makes it very difficult for vehicle to see traffic approaching from the north when turning from the west part of 7th onto Union St. I live on the SE corner of 7th & Union and often hear cars honking due to near-collisions—presumably due to poor visibility. I also drive a transit bus for IU; even in the bus, it is very difficult to see traffic approaching from the north.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding my inquiry. Again, this is already a codified no parking zone with yellow curb paint; I'm just asking that a No Parking sign be erected so that it remains enforceable when snow obscures curbs.

For many years, kids have had problems walking to Rogers/Binford Elementary School on the south side of the sidewalk on E 1st St, just before High Street. There is an unused driveway to an empty lot, which is a pool of mud in wet weather. Neighbors have pointed this out to the council before. Neighbors have also come up with their own solutions - putting down boards, etc. I heard a school parent yesterday saying he planned to fill it in with gravel or cement because he had not had a response from the council. Might it be possible for you to repair this gap in the sidewalk permanently? Thank you!

This sidewalk at the southwest corner of 1st and High (about 30 yards west of High) has a cutout for a driveway but has for months years been a slippery mudpit/bumpy weed/dirt ditch. Please fill in the sidewalk so walking (and wheelchairs etc) can navigate the sidewalk safely (and avoid the 24/7 nuisance of dogs/pets hounding passersby across the street). Many thanks, Michael O'Connell
