Why is there snowpiled up at the Bloomington Hospital bus stops? Pedestrians have to climb over piles of snow or else stand in the street.

Trails

Case Date:
1/9/2014

I was walking down the B-Line today at approximately 12:10 pm and found it concerning that a city of Bloomington employee driving a small green vehicle was "patrolling" the switchyard by driving to remote locations and idling while using his phone rather than driving the trails. Perhaps a better use of his time would be to salt or plow the b-line, because although the roads are fine, the trail is iced up and difficult to use. Please fix these problems and ensure that city workers are doing their job! -concerned citizen

Thank you!

I went to the Police Headquarters on 3rd Street to obtain a police report regarding an accident Thursday the 9th. The woman who was working was very helpful and pleasant. Earlier this year I went to another city facility and they were very helpful as well. I am very happy and pleased to know that Bloomington employs such great people with very pleasant attitudes, which I know can be difficult with us college kids.

Traffic Suggestions

411 S Woodscrest DR

Case Date:
1/11/2014

Today I was at the intersection of Woodscrest and E Third, and the signal light was blinking red for north-south traffic and yellow for east-west traffic. I was traveling north on Woodscrest. From this side if the intersection, it is virtually impossible to tell (in daylight) that the traffic on Third has a blinking yellow -- meaning they DO NOT have to stop. From Woodscrest, with a blinking red, it could easily be misinterpreted as a 4-way stop! In addition, as I sat there waiting for an opportunity to turn left, I watched several cars on Third stop as if they did have a red blinker. This happened sometimes in only one lane, while someone else zoomed by in the other lane. Or traffic would stop heading east, but the cars heading west just drove on through. I just waited, knowing the drivers on Third had no obligation to stop. Then a car came up behind me and honked at me several times because I didn't go into the intersection. In fact, when I finally decided just to turn right and then circle back, I saw the car behind me just pull out in front of a car that was, rightfully, driving through heading west. I have often discussed with my husband the stupidity of having a traffic signal that requires the driver to be able to know what the OTHER traffic lane's signal is, rather than just seeing and obeying his OWN signal. The result is that the driver on the red side could, and often does, assume that the driver on the other road will stop. What other traffic sign/signal/light requires a driver to see what SOME OTHER DRIVER is supposed to do? I'll answer that -- none! But enough of my rant -- in this location, it is not really possible to tell what the other signal says. At least during daylight hours, if the signal isn't working, you should probably make it default to red blinking in both directions. Thanks, Jeannette Smedberg

Graffiti

Case Date:

It's actually 411 E. University St. Today I found "ADHD" spray painted on the apron of my driveway. Several months ago (which I also reported online but heard nothing about) someone spray painted something in blue on my limestone retaining wall facing the sidewalk.
