The pavement on Washington Street behind the recently completed Chocolate Moose Building is in really bad shape. It is kind of filled in but not level with old pavement and has lots of gashes in it. The bike lane there is especially bad. The new pavement south of 2nd street is great, especially where the cars are on the left side.
404 W Kirkwood Ave, in back of house where parking is - trash all over and growing since last week. This co-op has had issues before with grass growing long, furniture on roof top etc. Now there is trash, broken furniture, plastic and clothing and trash strewn around the back side of the residence. It is an eyesore.
The alleys between Madison and Rogers/Kirkwood and 6th Street are torn up again. Graffiti on the building for Car Quest which is seen from this alley already and they just painted it. Thank you!
Every time there is a football game at Memorial Stadium, they set off fireworks or cannons or something. Sometimes, like last night, they set them off after 10 and it seems like I've heard them even later than that. Does IU request an exemption to the noise ordinance? If so, why is it granted? Me and my sleepy infant son would like to know. Thanks.
Trash did not get picked up. Not sure why I got skipped but looks like my neighbor across the street got picked up.
Traffic light completely out
We recently moved to Bloomington and chose specifically to live within walking distance to our daughter's school, we're within a mile. Unfortunately, there's no viable route to her school b/c there are no sidewalks adjacent to University Elementary on 10th street. This is a significant issue for the surrounding community. We're new so I don't have all the numbers but there are at least 10 students at University in our neighborhood alone and based it's a safe assumption that the neighboring neighborhoods have a large number of students who are not currently provided with a safe alternative. For a city with a great walkable/bikable reputation I would expect this to be a high priority for our city. This is also a common route for cyclists (recreational and competitive) and seems like it would have already been addressed. Please advise.
