Construction workers from the path project here along Montclair near Southeast Park entrance left lots of debris behind along the sidewalk. They're long gone and didn't attempt to clean any of this up.
The part of the curb on the West side of Sare Rd, as showed in the picture, protrudes into the lane unexpectedly and narrows it. As you can see it has black tire marks and the cement is chipped as well – indicating that cars hot the curb all the time. We walk or run there every day and this is an accident waiting to happened. A few days ago, as we were walking along, an SUV hit the curb, right there, and continued to weave for 50 yards. If it had jumped the curb we would have been hit. Generally speaking the walking path is too close to the road and a guard rail should be installed between the Hyde Park Village and at least to Spicewood.
I start work at 4 am I get off I 69 south at 3 rd street I have to set there and set there waiting for the light to change it takes over a minute to change even when there is no cross traffic. The lights on S Patterson and W Allen, W Adams, and Fairview cycle red green all night, these should remain green until the censer is activated from the residential area. These also take over a minute to change. The light at 2nd st and Patterson takes over 2 minutes to change. If I have to stop at all these lights (most of the time I do) it adds over 5 minutes to go less than a mile. 25 minutes a week setting there burning gas for nothing. If you multiply that by the number of people that work for Catalent in the evening hours that is a lot of fuel wasted and adds to pollution. there are probably many other lights threw out the city that needs to be addressed with the same problem.
Left turn arrow for 7th onto college does not work. Waited two green light cycles and never got a green arrow.
When travelling west on 7th, the left turn arrow onto college does not turn green. This issue has been noticed on a few occasions, all around 10pm.
Left turn light does not go green.
Intersection of Rhoer Road and Sare is very dangerous. Jackson Creek middle school is there and many cars, school buses and trucks use those roads . There needs to be more stop signs or a traffic light to make that intersection safe.
Tree plots overgrown and full of weeds
There are tree branches extending into the bike lane on E. Longview Ave between S Kingston Dr and N Glenwood Ave W. (adjacent property is 123 S Kingston Dr). This is a safety hazard for bikers. Could you please look into this issue? Thanks!
At the following addresses, the clearance space above the sidewalk surface and the bottom of the tree canopy is quite a bit lower than the eight feet stipulated in Section 12.24.040(2) of Bloomington’s Municipal Code. The low bottom of the tree canopy at these addresses blocks the sidewalk and represents a safety hazard for pedestrians and runners. Could you please look into this issue?
