Completely overgrown sidewalk near the raised pedestrian crossing
Completely overgrown sidewalk near the raised pedestrian crossing
The water still smells and tastes bad, even after our recent heavy rainfall. Smells like dirt and tastes like dirt too.
The sidewalk closed signs have been removed from the new pathway on High Street, yet the new driveways that were poured are several inches higher than the pathway. This is a significant hazard for pedestrians, and bikers.
The sidewalk on Arden leading into Southeast Park has been blocked for weeks now. The Millstone contractors have been using it for construction storage. Could a better spot not be found for storing this equipment, perhaps one that doesn't shut down a pedestrian walkway? Space on the adjoining street could just have easily been used here.
Traffic heading south on Smith Rd continues to be backed up all the way to the intersection of 10th St and Smith due to the 4-way stop sign intersection at Smith and Morningside and the stop light at Smith and 3rd St. Cars turning left do not have a green turn signal and must wait until traffic going in the opposite direction is clear, causing major back ups. Many vehicles turn left onto 3rd St heading east so a green turn arrow really is needed, along with a turn lane.
I live in an apartment complex on the east side of Bloomington. The water has had an algae or dirt taste to it for about 2 weeks now. It seems like the taste is getting stronger and stronger and the smell is horrible in the shower and when brushing my teeth with the tap water.
Tap water is undrinkable, even filtered, because of terrible smell and taste. Is this going to be fixed? I read city is aware of the issue but news doesn’t say whether it is going to change.
Our water has had a moldy/grassy taste to it for about 2 weeks. The water is almost oily. Its not good for drinking or using to clean and shower.
Water from the tap tastes like dirt and mold, even after Brita filtering. Hot water coming from the tap smells worse than cold water. Drinking this disgusting water is nauseating. Can more PAC be added to rid the water of MIB/geosmin? Water affects everything we do: drinking, cooking, making good coffee (seriously!). It’s more than an “aesthetic” issue and future reports should avoid minimizing what many experience as a true issue. Taste and odor of drinking water matter, too.
Private apartment company buses are stopping dead center on teh crosswalk to unload, wait, and load passengers. It blocks traffic. IU and city buses go up the block and use the pull off to do the same. Tell the private buses not to block the road. There are simply too many of them. Their passengers can walk the 100 feet just like normal people do. (it sits there 30 seconds to unload and load. Take that times 8 complexes and two runs an hour and you now have 8 minutes of 60 minutes blocked to traffic. It is already a bottle neck. This makes it much worse for no gain.
