John, I wanted to let you know what a wonderful job Bet Savich did last week to help the Hoosier Hills Food Bank. I volunteer there, and found that the just-closed Marsh West had donated over a thousand wall calendars to the Food Bank along with other things. The Food Bank had no use for the calendars and was about to recycle them, so I contacted Bet, she sent out an email to her community partners, and I was able to find homes for more than 700 calendars at the Bloomington Housing Authority, Hannah House, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Crawford Apartments, MCCSC Adult Literacy, the MCPL's VITAL program, SCCAP, and the Animal Shelter. Bet made it so easy for me to locate the nonprofits that could benefit from these calendars, the Food Bank didn't have to drown the Recycling Center in calendars, and the nonprofits' clients got nice calendars for free. She offers such a wonderful service for the city! Best, Margie

Sidewalk request for 10th street to make a path to University school
I am a resident of Eastern Heights neighborhood and our community has been in desperate need for sidewalks along 10th Street from E. Etter Drive through to Grandview neighborhood. We also need crosswalks to University Elementary School. We understand the complications with it being a State road, but a meeting is needed to begin the formal process of gaining walking access in this area. Not only will it allow our children to walk to school, but it will provide community members in Tamarron and Eastern Heights the ability to safely walk to the bus stop and access the University and downtown without the use of cars.
Also it is essential that there be a cross walk so that children can safely cross 10th street to get to University Elementary school.
Thanks for your attention to this important matter.

There are no sidewalks along 10th street in the Grandview Hills Neighborhood area and Eastern Heights. Several years back we tried to get a light/crosswalk across the University School (and the City Church) when there was discussion about widening SR 45E. I do not know what the plans are for improving SR 45 for the new hospital access and it may include some work that might help this link. The intersection at 45/Pete Ellis really needs some imporovement for left hand turns (even more with hospital coming!)

The intersection at Woodlawn and 11th street poses significant potential danger to drivers, walkers, and bicyclists. I walk past this intersection every day and have seen several near-accidents. I propose a 3-way stop at this intersection.
Vehicle traffic going North and South is always traveling quickly and don’t always see walkers crossing Woodlawn. In some cases, I have witnessed drivers stopping to allow walkers to cross. But, this causes drivers going one-way on Woodlawn to attempt to cross. I propose implementing 2 stop signs on 11th street. This will allow walkers and bicyclists the right of way, and will help drivers better communicate between Woodlawn (one-way street) and 11th Street.

I think that the Parks classes registration form (WEb Trac) still shows Mark Kruzan at the top?
