Hello, I'm a resident of 864 S. Romans Way, Bloomington, IN 47401. There are a couple of broken tree branches in the sidewalk in front of my house. I have put them away, but I'd appreciate if the city can take care of them at earliest convenience. Thank you.
The whole intersection is a disaster, but the particular problem I think should be addressed is the complete lack of lane markers as you approach 3rd street. The left and right lanes end as you approach the light, and there is literally nothing until the very end. Early on, one should be clearly marked straight and right turn / left turn only or Right turn only / Straight&left turn only. Lines should then continue to ensure clarity, and create accountability in the event of an accident. For example, if I'm in the right hand lane and intend to go straight, but the person in the left hand lane also intends to go straight, who has the right of way? Based on the current setup, there seems to be no wrong or right answer. I would appreciate someone looking into this. Thanks for your time.
In the past 8 months we have lived at our residence, two of our cars have been hit. We utilize street parking on 2nd street. My roommate had her mirror taken off a couple of months ago and mine has just now been hit. I would like to submit a recommendation that at least part of second street be a one-way, as this is obviously not an isolated incident. We often hear people honking outside of our house as they try to pass each other. We attempt to park as closely to the curb as possible to mitigate the possibility of our cars being hit but clearly people cannot drive. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
The intersection where Clover Lane ends and Blue Ridge North turns into Blue Ridge East continues to concern drivers in our neighborhood. I’m the neighborhood association president and have had suggestions that we ask for the city to install stop signs on each street. My opinion is that getting rid of the brush would improve visibility and avoid the need for stop signs. This photo shows how it’s impossible to know if there is oncoming traffic as one drives up the hill of BR North and attempts to turn left onto BR East. (not sure why the photo is upside down.)
ECC Pre-school Registration sign in the grass at the corner of Kingston Drive and the old K-Mart parking lot.
The southwest corner of Lexington and Longview has a series of small trees and honeysuckle vines that obstruct the view of traffic. I was headed north on Lexington, stopped at the corner, and attempted to turn left onto Longview. I almost hit a car that was traveling east on Longview because of those trees and vines. This is an annual issue when the foliage grows.
'For Sale Angus Beef' sign in the grass across from The Warehouse on S Rogers, near the electric substation.
Home-made sign on the side of and before the electric substation on S Rogers, something like 'Prostall Baked Goods'.
MCPL is doing nothing to collect the 'Tails and Tales' signs (program ended on August 1). Here are just 2 locations of those still around: corner of Short and Highland; on Second Street after the intersection with College, on the right hand side in the grass in front of a store, near the B-Line trail.
"Welcome Back, Come to our Services" sign, placed by City Church on the Renwick Roundabout on Moores pike.
