On the north side of Winslow, then up Henderson the overhang from trees impairs mobility whether walking, biking, assisted mobility, strollers. The same is true on the east side of Sare Rd north of Rogers (the Rogers that runs east and west) and Hillside. Sidewalks have to be walked around because of all the overgrowth. I'm sure there are lots of other places in town but these are where I have been recently.
Topic: West 16th, Hancock Dr., and West 15th section through/beside Crestmont Park. This is a beautiful, and I believe under-appreciated stretch of street. Quiet, park setting with trees. However, there is one problem - the road is extremely narrow. Too narrow. If a car is coming one way and encounters a car coming the other way, one has to stop and pull half-way off the road for the other to get by. This is particularly problematic because the blacktop drops off several inches right at the edge and the soil at the edge is often washed out in certain areas. Another issue is that some drivers drive entirely too fast through here and then cut the corner at the bottom of the hill too tightly - this has practically run me off the road in the past. I don't wish to suggest that this section of street be widened. That would ruin its park-like atmosphere. What I would like to suggest is this: Starting at Lindbergh, W. 15th, Hancock, and W. 16th up to Monroe St be made one-way westbound. Then, the section of Lindbergh between W. 15th and W. 17th be switched to one-way northbound once 17th is reopened. I don't think that much traffic normally comes up Lindbergh where it would create that much more traffic on W.16th, etc. Perhaps put down counters to check, but it would cut out the traffic from one way and make the road more safe. Even if none of this is pursued, one thing that is definitely needed are "SLOW" signs and "PARK" signs. There may be a sign marking that there is a ninety-degree curve does in the bottom, but if not, there needs to be one of those too. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you will give this some consideration - at least definitely the part about the signs.
This box (from AT&T) has been hanging over the easement of our property for over 6 months now. AT&T was notified in February, came out and said they'd get to it during a "down time". Nothing has happened on it yet. I don't know what I can do as a homeowner since it is in the easement, is there a number we could call that you might have or is there any assistance you could offer us? Thank you for your help! Sincerely, Jeannie Galbreath 2957 N Ramble Rd E Bloomington
Weeds overhanging sidewalk on SW and SE corners of property, but it's not clear if plants belong to this property or the neighboring ones.
Construction project occurring without posted permit. Porch has been removed, huge pit in front yard several days ago.
We have seen increased instances of deer being hit by cars behind our home (1519 Bradshire) at Winslow and S. Xavier Ct. in the last year and would like signage posted to alert drivers that there is a wildlife hazard. We commonly observe afternoon eastbound drivers failing to stop at the stop sign at Winslow and Allendale and speeding down the hill toward Xavier Ct. where they regularly encounter wildlife. The greenway just east of Xavier Ct. is a common crossing point for deer, coyotes, foxes and other wildlife. For the protection of the drivers, the many children who live in the area, and the wildlife, we request that signage be posted. We would also be glad to see increased monitoring of the stop sign at Winslow and Allendale. Thank you.
This hole has been in the sidewalk for almost a year now. Located on the North sidewalk of E. 4th St. between S. Washington and S. Walnut.
When driving south on Nancy St, at the intersection with Hillside, it is difficult to see oncoming traffic because of overgrown vegetation. To the left it is hard to see cars. To the right it is hard to see peds and bikes on sidewalk. BTW when I sent a note in last year, you fixed it right away. Thanks for doing that!
