Trash is accumulating both in front and back of the household
Trash is accumulating both in front and back of the household
The storm drain grate on the northwest corner of 6th & College is missing a bar and the gap is wide enough that a bicycle tire could drop into it and cause injury to the writer and damage to the bike.
I tried to use this area to have a quick meeting with colleagues before going to an appointment at a business on the square. This area was unavailable due to the mess. Balloons, needles, beverage cans, etc. (The yoga mat is mine.) Further, these benches are damaged and appear to be unmaintained. I then moved to the corner of the square where no needles were visible. There I was immediately solicited by panhandlers twice. All of this is unacceptable and I hope to see these areas cleaned and maintained on a proper schedule. The frequency with which I am required to defend myself physically against panhandlers here is becoming unbearable. It is unsafe to be downtown in Bloomington, Indiana.
Discarded mattress in front, on Kirkwood. It's been there over a week. Parker Management is unresponsive, a terrible neighbor!
unbinned trash at curb
While this area is under construction, I wonder if you could fix the drainage on northwest corner of the intersection of 6th and Adams. The storm drain sits slightly above the pavement on one corner. The intersection itself may also be below grade. The intersection collects an inch or two of water when it rains.
The intersection of Adams and Kirkwood badly needs left turn signals. My wife and I deliver Meals on Wheels once a month. Our route has us coming down Adams from the north, and then turning eastward on Kirkwood. More than once we’ve found that turn difficult. Mostly it has been large streams of traffic coming toward us, making it hard to turn left. The worst has been when there seemed to be no traffic, but as we were ready to turn left, a car came fast up the hill toward us, and it was not visible until the last minute. Please fix this problem!

The light for traffic going west on Kirkwood onto Adams only stays green for about 15 seconds. 4 or 5 cars make it through and then we wait for an extended time traffic on Adams going north and south to get an extra long time to make their light. It takes 3 lights sometime before I get through a light when I'm at the top of Rose Hill.
Signal for west bound traffic on W.Kirwood and Adams St is too short. I'm tempted to get out of my car while at the light and hit the pedestrian crosswalk button just so it stays green longer. Might try it next time. Starting to feel like a better solution than using uReport.
