The parkway on Sare Road is overgrown and has not been mowed this year by the city. Specifically, between Jackson Creek Middle School and the new apartment building toward the North, the grass is probably 15 to 21 inches high. If it could be mowed, it would be greatly appreciated.
1115 S Walnut, Circle S and the corner of grimes and walnut. 7:30 am. Semi parked on the wrong side of the road on grimes. The truck is headed east, parked in west bound lane. The truck parks there to make a delivery rather than parking in the lot. Driver headed towards walnut have drive in eastbound lane to pass, blocking that lane. The truck is also blocking the city bus stop. I am sure that the truck is gone by the time this report is received, but the when I asked the manager about this since it is happening every Tuesday, he replied that is the way that company does it and people will just have to be patient. I disagree. This is not a beer truck on walnut where there are two other lanes to get around. This is a semi truck parked on the wrong side of a small road blocking traffic and a city bus stop even though there is ample space in the parking lot to do their job.
When our recycling bin was sat down by the city truck this morning the wheel fell off. The plastic tube holding the tire broke. I left the can and parts by the street so someone from your department can pick it up, fix it or replace it. Our bin number is 0917026479. 835 W. Rosewood Drive, Bloomington, IN 47404. My e-mail address is christaylor@hughes.net. My cell is 812-327-3300. Thank you! Chris and Vince Taylor
Once again construction equipment has the alley blocked in the Alley between 6th & Kirkwood Avenue North of College Avenue. This continued issue is causing ongoing issues for the businesses on College to get deliveries and to have trash removed.
My neighbors loaded a box spring and several bags of trash out of their house about a month ago and it hasn't moved. At least one person walking down my alley dug through this garbage, as well as several animals. They are IU students who seem to have come back about once a week, but haven't taken any trash to the curb since graduation. It's now ripped open and blowing around their yard and the alley.
Hillside traffic turning right tobgo north on walnut cannot turn on red, but if there was a right turn arrow, they could when people turning left from southbound walnut to Hillside were going. This would be so helpful and keep people from breaking the law by turning anyway. Thanks!
There is a significant amount of gravel in the multi-use path by Performance Refinish Supplies. It's a notable hazard because: 1. It's at the bottom of the hill where people will already be going fast on a bike. 2. There's a fast S-curve at the bottom of the hill, potentially requiring turning in the gravel section 3. The gravel has almost the same color and texture as the path, making it difficult to see with time to react. 4. There's not usually this much gravel here, making the condition unexpected. It's been a rainy spring and I already know two experienced cyclists who have crashed due to unexpected gravel or mud in turns. I spotted this hazard too late slow fully myself and just tried to keep a straight line riding through it. I nearly rode off the side of the trail, but thankfully avoided losing control.
There was a water line break on Sunday behind 2252 E Cape Cod Dr, Bloomington, IN 47401. The City of Bloomington Utilities patched the line and filled the hole. However, would like to know if City of Bloomington will repair and asphalt the patch and if this is the monetary responsibility of the City of Bloomington. Please advise.
The stoplight at the corner of Rogers and Rockport is not changing correctly when a car is stopped on Rockport. It has a sensor to change the light, but it doesn't appear to be working. A car stopped on Rockport waiting for the light to change will wait a long time, even when no traffic is on Rogers.
Please note! No notice was left with my yard waste, which was not collected this morning. This is the second time this has happened.
