There was a private tree cutting crew redirecting traffic until after 9:0 last night, and they left this massive tree blocking the sidewalk. It is making it unsafe for kids to walk to Harmony School.
This intersection is in need of repair.
The street light in front of our (1626 South Olive) house is apparently out - it was very dark last night
Small but annoying pothole on Dorchester which is very difficult to miss when turning from Hillside onto Dorchester.
Some homeless people were wanting a port a potty at people's park. Could we pay for it?
The pedestrian signal on the campus side of the corner of Fee/10th Does not seem to work correctly -- voice announces that pedestrian may cross even though light is not clear.
graffiti on stop sign on SE corner
The intersection of 3rd and Rogers is not well illuminated. At night, the intersection becomes dangerous to pedestrians because drivers cannot see pedestrians crossing the street. There is a lot of turning traffic at this intersection and drivers do not wait for pedestrians to cross the street. I have had several "close calls" there as well as neighbors I have talked to. There is a lamp post on the southwest corner, but it does not illuminate the intersection well enough. Its more for decoration than illumination. Can someone do a lighting survey to address this? thanks
Hello. We've been enjoying Ferguson Dog Park with our one-year-old puppy. Thank you! It's a good crowd of dogs (and owners) and, with our tiny yard in Elm Heights, it's been a wonderful place to let Teddy run around. In talking with my many dog-owning/dog-walking/tiny-yard neighbors, we have wondered if it would be possible to have an area of Bryan Park fenced off for dogs. I'm sure cost would be an issue but perhaps Bloomington residents could contribute matching funds? Besides cost, are there other prohibitive restrictions that would make a dog area an impossibility? Thank you for your time. Best, Cate Racek
Hi, I'm a resident in the Elm Heights neighborhood. For some time now, my neighborhood has noticed that there is a very suspicious chemical smell--often sickly sweet--around Carlisle Brake and Friction. After conducting citizen science for several months (that is, recording when and where we smell the chemicals, as well as the day's conditions), we noticed that the smell often occurs when the building has just been repainted (this is done excessively often, and the smell does not smell like wet or drying paint) or on rainy/humid days when it is difficult to monitor the atmosphere. I hope the city will look into this issue, as it continues to be a problem in a residential area. I'll gladly provide the details of our records.
