121 N Pete Ellis Dr, Bloomington, IN 47408, USA
- Case Date:
- 11/6/2023
There are some new safety concerns since the "Relato" building opened next to the multi-use path between Pete Ellis and the bypass on 7th Street.
First, there's a conflict point where the garage exits to 7th street. Cars are already pulling quickly across the path towards the street, while bike traffic doesn't necessarily slow for the blind corner of the garage exit either.
I've included a photo of a location where this is handled better. This is from the new development on the old K-Mart lot which also has a garage that immediately crosses a bike path. At that location, green boxes with white chevrons appear where the bike and car traffic cross, indicating to both parties that it's a conflict point.
------
The second safety concern is where the multi-use path takes right-angle turn around the corner of the Relato. This used to be an empty field with great sight lines and now those sight lines are blocked.
At this corner I have already seen what could have been a couple near collisions due to the shortened sight lines.
A treatment that could help here would be what was done at the right angle turn going into the bypass underpass tunnel-- Add a solid center line going around the corner to indicate that parties in both directions should stay in their lane going around the corner. I feel that treatment has made the underpass corner safer and I think it would help signal safer behavior here, too.
Thanks!

Hi there - the Habitat for Humanity build on Cottage Grove has a lot of erosion and the drain in front of the property is completely clogged. I connected with someone from Habitat about it at a social gathering a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure it was remembered. It would probably have more heft getting connected by the City. Thanks for all you do - very much appreciate the quick and thorough work of the CBU employees in this area during the recent heavy rains!!!

To the best of my knowledge, this property is not zoned residential. There is not a HAND permit on file either. But there are people living in the garages and possibly in other structures on the lot (shed/RV/Semi trailer). I don't believe the property is connected to sanitary sewer and may have an old septic not rated for residential.

Kinser Pike road and sidewalks have been destroyed for a long time now after the construction at 17th and Kinser. These should have been repaired right after the gas line construction. Do bad this isn't the Eastside or IU as you all would've had it repaired the next day

People absolutely FLY down our road (west 8th). Multiple family pets have been hit and kids are always trying to play outside but have to worry about cars not paying attention. Speed bumps need to be put in.

I filed a Ureport months ago, and the problem was partially fixed. The high-intensity white flashing lights on top of the building are no longer on when I sleep. The jumbo screen is still on though throughout the night. I have gone to the VERVE twelve times about this jumbo screen flashing into my room when I try to sleep. They always tell me the settings have it where it is suppose to turn off at 9:30 PM, when the rooftop closes. I remind them that the settings aren't doing as they say, and they tell me they will fix it. Management says they use an app to adjust the hours of the jumbo screen, so I cannot comprehend why they still cannot fix the time setting considering how user friendly and simple the app is. I have lived at State Bloomington (next to the VERVE) for two years. The VERVE was done being built in August, and since then I have lost tremendous amounts of sleep over their rooftop lights. If a Bloomington official could please end this problem permanently I would be incredibly grateful. I cannot keep losing sleep over this because it is messing my mental health up and making me tired every day.
