There is a construction sign that was left in our yard from some work that was being done in the neighborhood awhile ago. I think it had to do with laying fiber, but I'm not sure. Can this sign be picked up?
Fiber construction contractors (AEG?) were in our neighborhood (Sycamore Knolls) at the start of October. They've since moved on, but left open holes and piping sticking out the ground all over the place. These were visible, but with the falling leaves they have become numerous trip hazards spread throughout the neighborhood.
The sidewalk closed signs have been removed from the new pathway on High Street, yet the new driveways that were poured are several inches higher than the pathway. This is a significant hazard for pedestrians, and bikers.
There are shrubs/trees sticking out and hanging low over the sidewalk at the south edge of the new Switchyard Apartments. Additionally, the sidewalk is overgrown with dirt, sand, and grass such that it is inaccessible by wheelchair and possibly for those with other mobility devices. This is of great concern because there is a tenant moving in the apartments soon who uses a wheelchair and will be needing to access the sidewalk to travel to Bloomington Transit bus stops on South Rogers and intersection for safe crossing. Thank for taking care of this for her and other pedestrians who are inconvenienced by these obstructions.
Trash has pulled up as well as furniture tires other debre causing bugs and rodents to collect. People have been leaving items around area such as blankets, boxed food, clothing causing pest and rodents. People have left bicycles as well as vehicles in parking lot. People have running extension cords for power source. People have been taking outside furniture and sitting on the property. It is a private residency.
I live in a row of townhouses in the Summit Woods neighborhood. We're serviced by two Rays trash dumpsters in the road behind our houses. They have not been picked up in over two weeks and the trash is piling up in a gross and unhealthy way (contractors and college students are also driving in to dump their trash overnight which is making everything worse). I called Rays this morning and they said they can't service these dumpsters because of the snow. I explained that they hadn't been serviced for a week or more before the storm and they disputed this and said there is nothing they can do to help. Is there anything the city can do to help us? There are a lot of families in our neighborhood with small kids and this has become an ongoing health as well as an eyesore issue for us.
If you try to pull out of that shopping center and you look south to try to pull out on Walnut there is a big sign truck that blocks being able to see the cars coming. I e almost been hit because you have to pull so far for to see oncoming traffic before you can pull out. I believe it belongs to BBs market, weve asked them to move it , but that was 2 weeks ago
The summer road construction left the northbound lane of S. Henderson gravel with no pavement. This was a fine temporary solution, but the extended length of the lack of pavement has resulted in extremely rough and pitted roadway. Drivers are choosing to drive North in the Southbound lane instead and causing dangerous traffic situations. Can someone expedite either adding more compacted gravel or actually paving this piece of road? It is dangerous to drivers and their vehicles.
Excessive speeding (meaning more than 5 mph over the posted speed limits) continues on 17th St. This includes very large trucks (semis, construction trucks, etc.) and even some MCCS busses. Some vehicles go way over the speed limit. Suggestions for improving this situation? Even adding just one more mph sign each on both sides of the road might help (at least help those drivers who tend to drive more or less at posted limits).
Please put in crosswalks here. This is a dangerous intersection and there is a lot of foot traffic here. I had to jump out of the way of a car that came within a few inches of hitting me when I was crossing when I had right-of-way. Also please extend the sidewalk north of here on the west side of Kinser Pike; it stops at the Midas property line and people have to cross to the east side of Kinser for a sidewalk or they walk along the road or in people's yards.
