Because of the shadow from the concrete wall, the sun can't melt the snow on the multi-use path. This turns to ice and is too chunky to ride through.

Henderson St and Wylie Farm Rd at BHS South, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA
- Case Date:

Leaving Winslow Farms today at about 7:10 am and traveling toward Winslow Road, we saw a City pickup truck on the new multi-use path heading toward the high school. There was a jogger who obviously had to get off the path to allow him to pass. The truck was going at a relatively high rate of speed--probably as fast as the street speed limit. The street was not crowded, though it is being ground down and is bumpy. That sidewalk is often very busy--trucks have no business on that path at any time.
Street Snow Removal
Grimes & Walnut, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA
- Case Date:
- 2/6/2022
The gas station at the corner of Grimes and Walnut has created a traffic hazard with snow. Their parking lot was plowed out onto Grimes to the south of their property. The snow pile is blocking 50-75% of the eastbound traffic lane on Grimes. You cannot get by on Grimes headed east if there is traffic in the westbound lane of Grimes. Will the City let the gas station and its snow removal service know that turning their private problem (snow on their property) into a public problem (impeding traffic) is unacceptable? They might need to clean it up or be fined, if not both. The snow pile will not melt very quickly. There is a lot of snow they pushed into the road.
Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

Metal stub from broken off signpost on west sidewalk (even side of street) is a major tripping hazard. It needs to come out, and until that happens it really needs a cone or something to make it visible to pedestrians.
Sidewalk & Curb Complaints
E Kirkwood Ave, Bloomington, IN, USA
- Case Date:
- 12/28/2023
The sidewalk imprints about walking your scooters across the street are degrading, and are slippery. I was walking on Kirkwood, and the one on the corner in front of the Cafe Pizzeria (that corner) is where I slipped and hurt my right knee. I walk frequently there as I am a student at IU, and it's only slippery on top of the remneants of that imprint. Someone is going to get hurt or die even if they crack their skull!

Our neighborhood had tree debris removed already (thank you), but there was a tree by the road that had broken off and now is damaged with the top ripped off. Will the city take care of trimming this or cutting down the tree? It is in an easement area next to the curb and over the sidewalk.

I noticed today that the sidewalk by the parking lot of the Bloomington Police station on Lincoln street one end of the sidewalk before crossing the parking lot does not have an accessible sidewalk - it has a curb. Will his be resurfaced to be wheelchair accessible soon?
Street Snow Removal
Bloomington City Hall, 401 N Morton St, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA
- Case Date:
- 2/17/2021
I live at the corner of Kirkwood and Elm Street. I am disabled and have a caregiver coming this morning. There is nowhere for her to park. The snow plow rather than have the blade plow the snow piled up near the cemetery retaining wall, has plowed a huge bank of snow near the sidewalk and has blocked me in my garage. I am trapped and not able to leave. I cannot shovel the snow because of my disabling conditions. There’s nowhere for my caregiver to park. Please help, I’m trapped.
Also, when I called yesterday evening to report the issue 812–349–3448, someone named Jared, the operator, was very condescending and sarcastic on the phone to me. Extremely cavalier and quite nasty. It seems as though he delighted in telling me that there wasn’t anything that could be done. His tone and inflection were both rude and patronizing.
Thanks,
Erica Payne

Glass on sidewalk and road. It has been there for at least a couple of weeks. Luckily I hadn’t had a flat on my bike yet.
