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.
Several months ago I almost had an accident while going west on 3rd St. and turning left on College. I did not see a car coming east on 3rd St. Last week I was going east on 3rd and was coming up from the overpass and I understood why I previously did not see the car I almost hit. The slope of the street and the plant pots obstruct seeing cars. You might consider removing the pots to allow for a better view in both directions.

At the north west corner of W. 6th Street and N. Jackson Street the stop sign has been defaced with black paint and markings. It needs replaced with a new one.
Stones from the wall along the sidewalk keep falling into the sidewalk. These are large stones and create a tripping hazard, especially for someone with impaired vision or during low light conditions. The landlord does nothing to address the problem which has been going on for a long time and is getting worse. Passers-by sometimes try to get the stones out of the way, but they keep falling back onto the sidewalk.
Having the entrance/exit to Steak n Shake be a single lane is bananas. I was pulling in today while another car was pulling out. I was waiting to turn in. As the other car pulled out, the car behind be went around me and almost hit the car pulling out. Employees reported it had been a mess. If there is an accident there, the city will be surely be partially at fault. Plus the damage it's doing to a business.
roll curb is crumbling between 2024 and 2026 Ramsey Drive; has worsened over the summer months.
There is a streetlight out in the immediate vicinity of Master Rental on West 3rd St.
Trash can damage during or after garbage and recycle pickup this morning. Would it be possible to get a replacement? The wheels are uneven, the front lower 1/4 is scrunched, and lid doesn’t close now. Not sure what occurred. Thank you for your consideration!
