When will the assault on the south side of Bloomington traffic patterns stop? The attached photo shows the current problem: far right side, the detour signs for the two CLOSED north/south routes (Walnut Street Pike & Rogers). And the orange barrels show that Walnut is under construction as well. Today, at 3:15pm, it took approximately 20 minutes to travel from Lucky's Market at Walnut and Winslow to Kroger at Walnut and Gordon Pike. That is 1 mile in 20 minutes - an incredible 3mph speed! Although, in all fairness to that calculation, most of the time was spent at a standstill. This mess comes on the heels of last summer's mess when the City decided to close every east/west route in town (which, those are still only somewhat complete). What's next? One might argue there was no planning involved, but it seems like the coincidence of shutting down every road at once multiple years in a row is a coordinated effort, not random happenings. Disdain is too weak of a word. Can the City get its act together and not hog tie traffic every single summer? Or, at least add some capacity so when it opens back up more traffic can move? None of these projects have yielded any actual improvements in traffic - or, maybe we just can't realize it because when one road opens two more close.

I live directly next to the Landscaping Services Building roughly by 10th Street & Jefferson. The level of noise they make at 4:30-5:30AM is unacceptable. I implore the city to please contact Landscaping Services (affiliated with IU-Bloomington) to push their hours back to 7-8AM. It is a total disturbance to my neighbors and me. Banging metal, trucks beeping as they back up, loud engines, car lights that shine into our homes & other community disturbances. I expect a response from the city on this major quality of life issue. Thank you so much for your time. I enjoy living here in Bloomington in every other regard besides this matter. Thank you!

Please forward this to Mayor Hamilton. Dear Mayor Hamilton, I would like to urge the city and the county to adopt a 1% for the arts for the new Convention Center. The arts are one of the strong attractions of Bloomington and Monroe County. Let's put that up front and on display at the Convention Center. Sincerely, Paul Smedberg

The accidents at Smith and Morningside need to stop. Another just happened. PLEASE put solar flashers on the Smith stop signs or even cross flags to get folks to actually stop there appropriately. Dangerous for cars. Deadly for bikers.

Some time ago, the street was patched by the curb of my next door neighbor. During this last storm the patch was raised up and broke into pieces. The larger pieces remained in that location but the rest of the patch and gravel washed down the street on it’s way to drain but ended up in front of my drive. The city was repairing the patch today and I asked if they could get the patch that was in front of my house and they said I would have to contact the city. I always remove debris that blocks drain but I never know what to do with all the gravel. If I know the sweeper is coming or I see them in the neighborhood I try to brush it into piles but the sweepers don’t generally get it all. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
