The reflective signs designating the runoff/curb/flower boxes on Allen Street are white. They completely disappear in the snow. Several cars have driven into and over the curbs. Large yellow/green/red signs are needed to make these less hazardous.
To Whom It May Concern, this is more of a recommendation than an problem. The pedestrian/bike crossing light on Allen St across Walnut is generally pretty good. Currently, there is a button to activate the lights on the sidewalks and wanted to suggest installing an additional button curbside for bikers. As it's currently constructed the median has two cut-outs so bicyclists can stay in the road (which is where we should be), but activating the light requires we ride up on the sidewalk. Most bikers, myself included, just keep an eye on the road to cross once traffic passes rather than hop the curb to activate the crossing light. The problem arises when a driver decides to yield; it's a nice gesture, but with two lanes of traffic in both directions it isn't safe to cross unless drivers in both lanes decide to yield and it's difficult to see over the stopped car to make sure the second lane is clear. I tend to wave the driver who has yielded to indicate they should just keep going, Bloomington drivers being Bloomington drivers they defer to being polite. A button positioned for bicyclists would make it clearer to both drivers and cyclists when it is safe to cross. This crossing point gets a fair amount of pedestrian and cycle traffic, but I don't think it is enough for a button to disrupt car flow on Walnut.
This individual regularly parks over the sidewalk with one car, and the wrong way with the other car (both pictured). Additionally, only 1 individual lives in this house, but he has 5 cars. His property is also not kept up at all, regularly storing large appliances on his front porch (like washers and dryers) failing to repair gutters and siding, and allowing excessive overgrowth in his front yard. He brings the home values of the whole street down with his neglect.
The house across the street from us (209 E Wylie) has a ton of cut down branches that are blocking the sidewalk and road. These branches have been sitting there for over a week now.
The sidewalk on the north side of E. Grimes just east of the intersection with S. Fess is obstructed by some vegetation. It is just about impassable. I saw a pedestrian have to walk into the road today to get around the blockage. Would the City be able to look into this? Thanks!
Car parked on the sidewalk, AGAIN. This is where they park every day There is no sidewalk on the other side of the road, so it forces pedestrians into the street.
This neighbor has been blocking the sidewalk with his 6 cars (one person lives there) for the past several years. At least 2 of the cars have not moved in months, maybe longer. Please help us clean up our neighborhood so everyone can walk safely on the sidewalk.
This neighbor is still blocking the sidewalk. There has been no movement since yesterday. It is dangerous to walk in the streets because drivers speed through the neighborhood. Can you please help us fix this as it has been an ongoing issue for years with this neighbor. Thank you!!
Resident keeps parking a car on sidewalk, completely blocking it. Cars are often parked in the grass as well.
directly across the street, Bird bike blocking sidewalk for two days now. Busy street, busy sidewalk.
