Streetlight on the southeast corner of S.Dunn & Driscoll is out. Also, I reported this streetlight to Duke, and they came to look at it this morning, to inform me that it was not a streetlight maintained by Duke and to contact the City about it.
Unsafe walking conditions on sidewalk due to lack of snow and ice removal
As a rider on the 2W bus I am writing in regards to the deterioration of Lindbergh Dr. This road/hill is driven by the 2W bus and it has so many potholes and rough spots that it has almost become torture to ride the bus. The problems start at the bottom of the hill by 17th street and continue up the hill to Oolitic DR. This has been causing pain with the riders. I myself have horrible back pain as does family. We sometimes walk 4 blocks to another bus stop just to avoid having to ride up that hill.
Trash cans are left in the sidewalk all week making it difficult for those in wheel chairs to make it up the sidewalk.
The painters/workers at 1300 S. Dunn Street were pouring paint into the storm sewer behind the house in the alley with Driscoll Street.
Since the end of the construction on 17th St, a crosswalk sign along with its pole has been lying on the ground. Several times, because it was an obstacle on the sidepath, I moved it to the side. The crosswalk is over 17th St just east of N Arlington Park Dr. It has curb cuts for a cross walk while it's not painted in the street. The sign should be either put up or taken away.
Constant water source seeming to come up from the road or sidewalk on the southeast corner of Bainbridge and Allendale.
Add a stop sign to reduce speed on Allendale Drive. Speeds are exceeding, cars do not slow down at this intersection to turn, this is a multimodal route and children and bikes are here often.
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.
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.
