Blocked Sidewalk
1101 S Henderson ST
- Case Date:
- 10/1/2018
Hello,
I am writing to make a complaint about the scooters that have appeared over the last few weeks from both Bird and Lime. This past Saturday, multiple scooters from both companies were simply abandoned in Bryan Park, some of which were blocking the sidewalks and paths through the park, some of which were leaning against trees and benches, all of which were eyesores in an otherwise lovely park. At one point in the afternoon, six or so Lime scooters were dropped off on the sidewalk by the Henderson St. lower parking lot by folks from Enterprise Rental, on the sidewalk, where people walk, run, etc.
In Bloomington, we are fortunate to have bike racks everywhere. Would it be possible to require that users and companies place the scooters at bike rack locations? By simply allowing them to be left wherever, users are leaving them around without regard to others.
This is also a bit of an issue with the Pace bikes. A few weeks ago, one was left leaning on the stop sign at Henderson and Davis, when there is a bike rack just a block away in the park.
Thank you for taking steps to regulate these companies in a manner that benefits everyone.

Attempting to turn left onto Hillside onto Washington is extremely difficult during high traffic times. Contributing to this is the very poor sight line when attempting to see oncoming traffic - the hill up from walnut blocks westbound traffic to a degree, and the porch structure built to the property line at 202 E Hillside makes it very hard to see eastbound traffic. What could be done to make this intersection feel less perilous?

My residence is located at 724 S. Washington ST. Two years November the Street Department performed pipe work in the middle of the street in a 2 to 4 block section. At the conclusion of the project the section of street was patched. Since then the section has been re-patched and re-patched. My concern is one of safety. S. Washington is a main thoroughfare for the Police Department traveling at high rates of speed. Loose gravel is sprayed every time cars drive through the area. This is also a highly used street for cyclists who commute to IU and other locations. The loose gravel from the re-patching creates unsafe pbike travel. Lastly, this section of street is unsightly. The bike lane lanes and curbs are unpainted and the patch work is broken and pot holed. I would certainly appreciate it if
the City of Bloomington Street Department would take a close look this Spring at a more permanent surfacing of this section of street. Thank you!

Don't know if this can be addressed or not (as I don't know if it is a city or private street light - I assume it is a city light) but we live at Dixie and Dunn and the street light at that location (on the south west corner of Dixie and Dunn) goes in and out and flickers consistently throughout the night which can be disturbing when trying to sleep or when our 10 month old is trying to sleep. More importantly, it reduces visibility and safety when it is out. Unsure if this can be addressed but we'd really appreciate it!
Thank you much.

In front of our home at 1314 S Grant there is a dip in the road that holds water for days and sometimes weeks after a rain. Last summer it served as enough standing water to be a bad mosquito breeding ground... would love for it to be patched such that it doesn't breed them again this year.

I totally appreciate the desire of the city to annex more city to provide city services. I grew up on S Hays Drive and sidewalks would have been great. However, now I live IN the city and I still have no sidewalks. I would LOVE all the streets in Bryan Park Neighborhood to have sidewalks. The way they were done for the newer S Dunn street houses is great with the recessed street parking. Why can't one of Bloomington's oldest neighborhoods have decent sidewalks?

There is a problem when driving in a car going south on Palmer and approaching Allen St. Cars park too close to the corner to be able to see bicycles coming from the west. Please mark the corner for no parking.

A possum got in out air conditioning vents and we have tried to work with our management company and their maintenance guy on removing the animal when we first heard it and spotted it. They did nothing about it and now they is a strong odor coming into the house through the vents. After countless times of trying to reach both the maintenance guy and Action Properties Management, the smell is now getting worse from the animal dying in the vents and rotting and they are still taking no action. I want to file a complaint since now it is becoming a health concern and this company is being careless of our health.
