Overgrown Vegetation at 810 W. 7th St. makes it so that you have to walk out in the street along this section of the sidewalk. See photo
The corner of Pleasant Ridge and Latimer located in Hoosier Acres. This location tremendously needs repaired. There are pot holes and damage from snow plows over the years. The end of our driveway that is located on Latimer, is severely damaged. My other concern is Latimer is a part of a bike path that MANY cyclists use and it's genuinely unsafe for both pedestrians, cyclists and car tires. We have noticed that there are a couple streets in our neighborhood that regularly get their streets paved where other streets get neglected. I'm not sure how else to request this other than through here but if there is another way, please feel free to email me and let me know. The request would be for the entirety of Latimer AND Pleasant Ridge be repaved. Patching the holes has been done in the past but doesn't seem to hold up longer than a month or two. We would greatly appreciate your thoughts or some feedback on this location and what can be done to make this intersection more safe.
Old cars and trash in the yard, which has not been mowed in awhile.
Hi, Every year our block has 1-3 fawns born and the mother deer are protective for about 3 weeks, and especially aggressive towards dogs. At the very end of the birth cycle last spring 2024, the city put a couple signs up to warn the dog walkers off our block. That would be wonderful to have again this year - our first 2025 fawn must’ve been born today in the backyard of mine (808) or my neighbor’s (810) backyard on S Fess. If we could please have 2 signs for the next month or so to post out front at the ends of the block, that would be very helpful. Some folks know the drill and move back quickly and others take less effective approaches that endanger themselves and their dogs. Thanks! MaryAnn
Snow on sidewalk
Every time it rains our street floods severely and then backs up onto the sidewalks and coats them in a thick layer of mud. It’s a combination of heavy storms that the storm drain on the corner of 12th and Walnut cannot keep up with and a residual problem caused by the fiberware that was installed last year. Ever since they dug up the corner of 12th and Walnut the ground is nothing but mud and has been slowly taking over the sidewalk. It is unsafe to walk on as it is incredibly slippery and is at least an inch thick.
Dead animal of some kind, couldn't tell what it was because it was quite decayed. It's kind of off to the side of the road/up on the curb on the right hand side (if you're facing toward Walnut St). Mentioned it to a city employee in one of those white trucks with the blue City of Bloomington emblem on the doors nearby, but figured I'd lodge it here as well.
Pot hole in right lane, causes you to swerve into bike lane
Two LED fixtures were recently installed at this intersection, both on the east side of Walnut, one north of 12th and the other south of 12th. They are *very* bright. Is it possible to swap them out with a lower wattage? We do see others in the neighborhood that appear to be dimmer and don't cast so much harsh light onto neighboring properties. It would be a relief if these were also more resident-friendly.
