Barriers blocking sidewalk in violation of ADA accessibility standards
Barriers blocking sidewalk in violation of ADA accessibility standards
This morning, I saw a shirtless person going through some trash on the north side of 7th street, between Lincoln and Grant. He looked like he was intoxicated and I did not confront him for safety reasons. He left a large amount of debris in the alley and it could damage a car tire. Nails, screws, etc.
The alley behind my business is blocked with Trucks and cars servicing IU building next door. Since IU parking lot is right there why are the trucks blocking the alley. My customers need access to my parking lot and Trucks and cars parked in the alley make it difficult to enter my lot.
Property in preoccupied, tenants have eight cars, some are routinely parked off property in alley, blocking it.
Dear city of Bloomington, While I'm grateful your team has looked into this, the issue is far from being resolved. The repair work did not make any improvement in the noise. The remedy that was done the first time worked for awhile. The grate needs to be opened and cleaned out so that it seats properly. A rubber ring or some kind of padding needs to be placed on the contact points to reduce the vibration. The loud noise is going on 24/7. I'd like to invite a member of your team to see it for yourself. Feel free to contact me and I can meet you at the site of the storm grates. Regards, Craig Subject: uReport Case #180991 https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=180991 Closed by Kathleen Powell Per CBU supervisor, a crew went to this site and put con-seal around the manhole covers. This should stop the noise when cars drive over them.
See uReport case #181105. Parking officer routinely allows certain violations to continue. This is one of those cases. This property is over-occupied with usually 6-8 vehicles parked on the driveway and side yard, regularly spilling out into the alley outside of the property on the east side of the fence.
This was an issue last night (4/19/23) around 9pm and beyond. Both lanes of S Dunn St, especially between 6th St and Kirkwood were completely backed up due to multiple Ubers waiting to drop-off and pick-up as well as Doordash or other delivery services parked (flashers on) on S Dunn St. Everyone in the right lane was trying to move to the left lane to get past these parked cars. There was enough traffic, that no one could move. There was also a car parked beside the the yellow stanchions on Kirkwood at this location. This is very frustrating and drivers were becoming agitated. I do not know if this happens every night, but parking in a driving lane on S Dunn St is not appropriate.
the alleyway behind my house is blocked by a van @ 800 N Lincoln st
Unhoused campsite drifts into 7th St bikeway. 2 weeks now.
A car has been parking partially in the alley (E Alice Street) making it more difficult to use adjacent alleys and parking areas.
