I am writing to you on behalf of the Blue Ridge Neighborhood Association Board to reaffirm our sidewalk request made on March 11th of 2014 and appearing on page 85 of the 2015 Council Sidewalk Committee Packet. As you may know the neighborhood of Blue Ridge is bounded by College Ave on the West, Dunn Street on the East, and Old State Road 37 (and, in part, the Cascades trail) on the North. While Blue Ridge has many positive aspect, unfortunately walkability and biking accessibility to the rest of Bloomington is not one. Dunn Street is narrow, with low visibility hampered by hills, and College Avenue has high-speed traffic. Bloomington Mass Transit does not serve our neighborhood. These factors combine to make walking or biking into or out of Blue Ridge a challenge. It would be of great benefit to our neighborhood if some means could be found to connect our neighborhood via sidewalks to the rest of Bloomington and give our 220 households a means to safely access Bloomington other than by car. With that goal in mind, we request consideration of a sidewalk on North Dunn Street connecting SR 45/46 to Tamarack and ultimately Lakewood Drive. We thank you for considering this matter.

The affordable housing located at the 2600 N Block of Walnut street on both sides has no connectivity to public transportation and no sidewalks connecting them to the nearest bus stop and grocery store. As a result pedestrians, including vulnerable elderly, are frequently seen walking in the bike lanes of N Walnut Street. The broken sidewalks between the intersection of Walnut and 45/46 and the affordable housing just north of Walnut and Fritz need to be made continuous as a matter of public safety before another pedestrian is killed.

The "no parking" sign in front of this house has been removed (just the post remains). This is right in front of the house where the off-campus fraternity operated in violation of the city's zoning ordinance (which we reported but the city did nothing about), whose residents and guests habitually parked on the "no parking" side (which the city never enforced). Please replace the sign so the next tenants know they cannot park on that side of the street.

Street sign at the corner of Glendora and Barbara was hit (I think). We have the sign topper that fell off and will replace it, but we’d like help standing the pole up straight. Thanks!

The stop sign posted at the corner of our lot (where E Gilbert Dr and N Laverne Dr intersect) is missing. Currently, the post is standing with no sign indicating "STOP." As this is a hazard to the vehicle and pedestrian traffic in our neighborhood, would it be possible to replace the sign quickly?

Street light - one of the few on our street- between my house and the house to the east has been out for months. Glendora is extremely dark without it.

This is a private tree but it is a huge Pin-oak and almost all dead on the top with huge dead limbs perilously broken off and part of it hangs over the street. Seems dangerous for people to drive or walk under.
