Biking & Walking
1200-1298 E Hillside Dr, Bloomington, Indiana, 47401

On August 27, a bicyclist came down Olive Street, which is a city bike lane, and flew into traffic in front of my truck. It was raining and I slammed on my brakes but it was too late and I hit him with my truck. The man who is a teacher at IU ended up with two spinal fractures, a horribly broken leg and a concussion. He was at fault but if you take a look at that hill it is very steep. I think his brakes locked up and he hydroplaned into the road. There was busy traffic going both ways on Hillside. This happened at 8:35 AM in the rain in front of a school bus from Templeton. I live in the Arden neighborhood and we walk our children to school at Harmony often. There is NO CROSSWALK anywhere between High Street and Henderson Street. It makes me nervous to try and send my kids to school on bikes or even let them walk. I hope that there maybe something that could be done at that intersection in the form of a sign or flashing light and some paint across the street to make people aware that bicyclist maybe crossing there. As I was going down Hillside today, I saw another bicyclist shoot out across the road from Olive up to Weatherstone. I think the bicyclist don’t always know how steep that hill is and you can’t really see the traffic on Hillside until you are at the bottom of it. I was 8 months pregnant on my way to a OB appt at 8:35 when this wreck accured. Traffic was very heavy and everyone was going the speed limit. Even though he was at fault in the eyes of the law, this accident ruined his life I’m sure. I really dont want any stop signs on hillside but like I said, some kind of cross walk might be smart since there is a park and a school within a block of this incident. Thank you

I'm assuming you're aware of this and repair is in progress, but just in case, the South Walnut and Grimes traffic light continues to cycle green when there are no vehicles in the northbound left turn lane and when there are no vehicles from either direction stopped on Grimes.

Hi! The street sign for West 6th Street and Pine Street has been leaning precipitously and looks to be close to falling down. The bar holding up the signs itself is OK, but the green signs on the top with white lettering indicating the street names is the part that looks like it's about to fall off. Would it be possible to send someone soon to fix it before it does? Thank you very much!

Hello! This morning was our trash and recycling day. While our trash was picked up, they did not take the recycle even though it was all contained within the can and next to the street. Our address is 1200 E Atwater and I was hoping that it would be able to be taken care of through this website. We just moved in so we have a lot more recycling to take out and would be very grateful to have that done before next week! No notice was left

Parking meter on north side of 7th between Walnut and College — has coin slot and says coins accepted, but digital readout says card only. I didn’t see the digital readout until I had already put money in the coin slot. Had to move my car to another parking place. I know this has also happened to other people on other blocks. What’s the deal? So inconvenient.
Sidewalk Snow Removal
120 W 7th St, Bloomington, Indiana, 47404
- Case Date:
- 12/17/2019
Hello,
I'm attempting to get this resolved before it becomes a hard frozen hazard as it has in year's past. This is the sidewalk next to Taco Bell at 7th & Walnut. It is also the only way I can get to One City Centre from the Walnut Street Garage. I don't understand how they get a "pass" on sidewalk cleanup, yet CFC is very prompt about clearing the walk way (see clear sidewalk on horizon of attached photo). It becomes impassable in very cold temps. Please ask them to clear this hazard. You may reach me at Karen Boehnlein 812-360-6467 Karen@wgclradio.com
Thank you
