Yellow on curbs on 1st Street and Hawthorne needs to be repainted. Lots of parking in yellow zone at already hazardous intersection.
I was a bit disappointed with the dangerous traffic situation I had to navigate on Monday morning due to the City of Bloomington's careless job site. Grimes is being resurfaced it looks like. I was heading north on Dunn and came to the intersection with Grimes. There was no sign to indicate the road was closed. I could not go straight on Dunn across Grimes because a City dump truck and other vehicles had the road entirely blocked. I could not see traffic to the west on Grimes because a City street sweeper was parked right at the intersection blocking the view (and there was another piece of equipment behind it). I could just barely see the intersection at Grimes & Henderson to try to guess if traffic was coming from my east. The City had a big machine parked just east of Dunn on Grimes that had a dump truck backed up to it for tearing up the road surface. I made a decision to go for it, and turned out onto the wrong lane of traffic to go around the construction. There were 5 city employees in bright colors standing on the sidewalk chatting, just watching this traffic hazard. Other people were driving through trying to navigate the broken up road and the blocked streets, intersections, and egress without any assistance from the City employees on the job. This is dangerous. Just close the road! Or put some people in charge of directing traffic so we know when it is safe to proceed and not risk hitting another citizen or getting run over by the various machinery moving about. This was pretty ridiculous even by Bloomington standards (which, are actually quite low it turns out!).
Huge pothole measuring about 2 feet across and 4 or more inches deep has been steadily growing on our street since early March. Other potholes are following. Please fill.
It looks as though someone backed into or hit the stop sign at E Hillside and S Olive streets.
The street signs at Wintersweet Drive and Wintersweet Court are reversed. The cul d sac should be Court.
What's the deal with the city taking down two trees at this address? You have been working a couple hours on ONE tree since LAST week. You have more guys standing around than working! They show up at 7 AM with three or four vehicles stand around awhile, work for and hour or so then leave! This protracted pace is interfering with other work being done in the neighborhood. A professional service (Fowler) would have had both trees down and cleaned up in ONE DAY! What gives Bloomington? Time to start hiring out this work and end this seemingly wasteful government service? Thanks, Roger
A very large pothole behind CVS gave me a flat tire on July 11, 2020. I will also be contacting CVS about this. The hole is not obvious but is very long, deep, and dangerous. The tow truck driver who helped transport my car noted I wasn't his first client to have encountered it either.
The pedestrian crossing sign in the middle of the road is missing.
