On May 23, 2021, at 5:30 am I was driving south on N Rogers to deliver my brother to Bloomington Hospital for surgery. At about 9th street (at the B line trail) I ran directly into a curb that juts out into the road. It was dark out and raining, and this road obstruction was poorly lit and not marked with a reflector ot in any other way. I ruined an almost new tire and will surely need an alignment. We walked the rest of the way to the hospital, in the dark and rain, because we couldn’t get a cab and time was short. Going back in the daylight I see that the southbound lane makes a jog to the center to accommodate this jutting out curb. Going south the right most lane becomes a parking lane, but there were no cars at all parked there so this was not apparent when approaching from the north. In the daylight this configuration is easy to see, but not in the dark and rain. I’ve enclosed a photo taken from in front of Carpenter Realty showing how dramatically this curb juts out into the road. I have other photos that I will try to send separately. (I think this report is limited to one photo. ) Two of my photos show show that the jutting out curb is blackened from tires and scared from wheel rims that preceded me into this trap. If I had a tire store I would open a branch in the big parking lot just south of Carpenter and stay open through the night. Besides reconfiguring this lane transition there are several easy solutions: - Light this curb better. - Put a reflector on it. - use a “ramp” or “transition” curb, as we see at all the new roundabouts. Thanks, Dan Mueller

I am a resident of B-Linr Heights Apartments and I am disabled as is my daughter and quite a few other residents. We use the bus often and love having a bus stop close to the apartments. The problem though is that the bus stop is not handicap accessible. There is a makeshift ramp of sorts that is basically leftover blacktop that is sort of threw there. I know my daughter and myself usually walk alongside the road, there is a bicycle lane, until we reach a lower part of the sidewalk and there we try to lift our rollators to get on the sidewalk. I know there is an elderly man and woman who also take the bus and use mobility aides as well. It is dangerous to walk up the road but when you cannot use the makeshift ramp to access the sidewalk you are limited as to options. I know a few drivers have let us off the bus down at the green trades district sign that is at the road directly across from the apartments. This has helped as the area there is accessable. I don't know if the stop could possibly be moved down to there or if someone could look into fixing the sidewalk alongside Rogers St to make it more handicap accessible, but I do think many of the residents, not just myself, would be very appreciative of it. Thank you for taking this into consideration. We enjoy where we are and taking the bus, we just want to do so a bit safer. Thank you.

I'd like to request a cross walk/light for the intersection of Rockport & Rogers. There are a couple there on other sides of the intersection but there isn't one for people wanting to cross Rogers on the north side of the intersection.

Within the Bentley Court neighborhood the city street and sidewalks are blocked by overhanging trees. It is mostly in the middle of the neighborhood along Abby Lane. By the post office boxes and across the street. You can't miss it. You might want to drive around the small neighborhood a bit to see other spots where the sidewalks are blocked. Probably a 30 min job at most. Thanks so much. The main entrance island with three trees are fine...they were trimmed last Fall.

The intersection of Henderson St and North Dr lacks a stop sign. It is the main exit for BHSS and is extremely dangerous. Cars are moving quite fast on Henderson, there are high school students crossing there, and there the high school is full of new drivers. As an experienced driver I can say it is the most dangerous intersection I have regularly gone through. And in front of a high school! Bloomington is full of 4 way stop signs everywhere. Why this strange exception where one is really, really needed?

1. Thank you for replacing the High St and E Southdowns signs so quickly when they disappeared. 2. The issue: There are bushes growing on a wooded lot on the northwest corner of the intersection at High St and E Southdowns Dr. Cars heading south on High Street and those trying to get onto High St from Southdowns can't see each other until the last second. (I tried to include a photo but my request wouldn't submit.) It is common enough for drivers on High St to roll through the stop sign or just barely tap their brakes. There haven't been any accidents that I know of but there is great potential. Can the bushes be cut back?

While you likely know that the new retaining wall on the SE corner of this intersection has collapsed due to flooding, you should note that there is a huge sink hole next to the storm drain on the SW corner of the intersection, in the grass. We placed some stakes around the sink hole to draw attention to its location. My other concern is that the culvert under High St may have been damaged (or now susceptible to further damage) but may not be easily noticed. An engineer should check it out, it's a dangerous situation overall.
