Excessive Growth

Recurring problem. See #184772, #177627, #184699, #184577, etc. Actual address not clear, as it is on the property line of two lots. Plants are overgrown into the sidewalk along the south side of Cottage Grove just east of Grant Street. Pedestrians need to use that side of the street to avoid the fraternity in the apartment building on the north side of the street.
Line of Sight
408 W Watson ST

owner put a fence up around their house and presumably didn't get a permit because it's right on the edge of their property, almost touching the road. Because it's so close to the road, it cuts off the line of sight for anyone approaching the four way stop sign. If you're coming from the main road you have to slowly edge forward to see past their fence to see if traffic is coming.

See #186397. The referred case (#186273) clearly has an address. The sign is still there. Please do something about it.
Accessibility Problem
4100 E 10th ST
- Case Date:
- 8/8/2022
There are limited to no sidewalks on either side of the road leading up towards University Elementary School. Although the neighborhoods off Tamarron Drive and Keystone Court have sidewalks, the main thoroughfare doesn't. This makes it difficult--if not impossible--for persons to traverse the area regardless of disability status.

Allow access from A to B in picture attached.
It is inappropriate for me to walk on state road or on some person/business' private property.
Traffic Suggestions
411 IN-45, Bloomington, IN 47408, USA
- Case Date:

I live in Blue Ridge on the north side of town and cross the Dunn/45-46 intersection daily to get to work. This intersection not only has high traffic due to daily Bloomington traffic, but also has high traffic with visitors for game days and other IU events. This intersection needs to be reworked to help with traffic flow and safety. (1) Driving south through the intersection on Dunn there is only a green light (no green arrow or yellow yield arrow like other traffic signs around town.) People frequently turn left immediately on green without yielding, causing several near accidents (happened to me twice just this week.) (2) Going northbound on Dunn -- there are 3 lanes - 1 to turn left, 1 to go straight onto North Dunn, and 1 to turn right. Although there is a sign that says turn left, almost daily people are turning left from the "straight traffic" lane, again causing issues with traffic and safety. I believe there needs to be a sign that says "straight ahead only" -- similar to the signs on South Walnut near Kroger/Seminary Square. As someone who drives this intersection daily, I am always prepared for someone to incorrectly cross through these intersections, but for 90% of people who do not, especially people going to/from IU on visits and other events and/or are from out of town, this is extremely unsafe.

This hulk cul-de-sac has trash not in receptacles at the side and behind many of the properties. There are junk cars parked on the street. This has been an ongoing problem for several years and I'd like the property owners to be cited as an effort to clean this area up.
Blocked Street

The newish owners of this property have stopped trimming the overgrowth that moves west into the alley. 601 S Grant Street has recently sold and their small tree is now also not being trimmed and is in the alleyway. I submitted a ureport a couple of months ago without my name for the alley, but never heard back. Vehicles have to traverse this alley daily, and it is not being kept clear. Any enforcement is appreciated. Thanks!
