Potholes, Other Street Repair
1045 E Winslow RD
- Case Date:

Once again asking the city to fill in this huge rut that was created at the end of my driveway and in front of my mailbox when Winslow rd was repaved. Previously the request was denied saying it was outside the scope of the project, however, the project created the rut during the project work so I'd like the city to fill it in before snow comes and myself, USPS, and delivery trucks get their tire stuck in this hole when delivering mail and turning right. Thank you!

This stretch of South Oakdale Drive continues to be a constant dumping ground for litter. I myself have gone out to pick up litter on a multitude of occasions, yet despite my efforts, litter is persistently left. This is terrible to look at as you have to take this road in and out of the apartment complex. I am not entirely sure what can be done, but I do believe this to be within city jurisdiction.

There is one block of Ruby Ln (my block) with no sidewalk. Please consider converting the huge culvert that runs along the S side of Ruby from Nancy to High into a storm drain, and putting a sidewalk over the drain.

Sidepath running along the north side of Rogers is overgrown with weeds, including several prominent patches of poison ivy. Most of the problem areas are near the bridge over Jackson Creek. This hasn't been cleaned up at all this summer. Is the City responsible for keeping this cleared?

To Whom It May Concern, this is more of a recommendation than an problem. The pedestrian/bike crossing light on Allen St across Walnut is generally pretty good. Currently, there is a button to activate the lights on the sidewalks and wanted to suggest installing an additional button curbside for bikers. As it's currently constructed the median has two cut-outs so bicyclists can stay in the road (which is where we should be), but activating the light requires we ride up on the sidewalk. Most bikers, myself included, just keep an eye on the road to cross once traffic passes rather than hop the curb to activate the crossing light.
The problem arises when a driver decides to yield; it's a nice gesture, but with two lanes of traffic in both directions it isn't safe to cross unless drivers in both lanes decide to yield and it's difficult to see over the stopped car to make sure the second lane is clear. I tend to wave the driver who has yielded to indicate they should just keep going, Bloomington drivers being Bloomington drivers they defer to being polite.
A button positioned for bicyclists would make it clearer to both drivers and cyclists when it is safe to cross. This crossing point gets a fair amount of pedestrian and cycle traffic, but I don't think it is enough for a button to disrupt car flow on Walnut.
Blocked Sidewalk

Residents of this home park their cars on the sidewalk. When I try to use the sidewalk I have to walk in the street with my 3 year old son. Cars coming off of Rogers are not going slow around the turn creating a hazardous environment for people walking.
