With a beautiful 55 degree day in February everyone was out walking and rising bikes along Allen Street Greenway between College and Henderson. I'm shocked no one died. Several cars barreled down Allen at 40+ miles per hour and I personally watched 3 separate pedestrians nearly lose their lives. More signage, brighter roadway paint, barriers are needed to keep cara from speeding past kids walking home from school.
Glad the mayor could make an appearance to unveil the Eagleson street sign. Hope he can both do actually do something about race relations in Bloomington. Start by investing in the places the Eagleson family honored like AME church, White Oak Cemetery and Banneker.
Double pothole in the southbound lane right before Heather Dr on Henderson
The intersection of Henderson and E North Drive floods really badly. North bound traffic runs through a pool even if it barely rains. With heavy rains it is very dangerous. Traffic coming east bound from E North, turning left can barely get traction on the road.
I witnessed a type of "crash" at the corner of 7th Street and Morton. The driver was headed north on Morton, stopped at the stop sign, then turned right/east onto 7th Street but the driver first tried to pull into the bike lane, then at the last second hit the bike lane barrier so hard it sounded like a terrible crash. The driver/car lost a couple of large pieces of the car on 7th Street. There needs to be better signage especially for cars driving NORTH, turning EAST onto 7th Street.
There are two swastikas spray painted on utility boxes in the alleyway attached to the Osteria Rago building. I notified the restaurant on 1/19/22 and nothing has been done about it still.
The large storm drain on the east side of High Street has a gaping hole where small animals fall in. Because of this hole it is not providing any type of filtering when it rains as all types of leaves and straw enter straight into the drain. There was a tube that had been around it, however, it was removed yesterday. I hope that this can be fixed soon!
Loud industrial noises all through the day and night. Police said they cannot do anything because this is a business. Constant noise can be heard clearly from nearby apartments (especially southernmost apartments of The Willows Townhouses and Hilltop Court apartments), and even homes 0.5 miles away in Westpoint neighborhood. Advised that this is a batch production that the business Organized Living started on Monday and will continue through Thursday. This is not the first time they have done this days' long process that interrupts both sleep and daytime sanity. Machine in question is outdoors and at the northwest corner of the building, nearest to the populated area.
There is a growing pothole in the middle of the road and also a smaller one starting on the southbound lane of Weimer Rd around this address. Thanks!
Coming from Eastside Drive there is a pothole on E First (after the speed bumps), where it makes a turn to the right towards Sheridan. Near Bloomingfood's on W 6th Street in the middle of the road
