335 S College AVE

The left lane that used to go straight through on college avenue past the Marriott near 3rd street has now stopped and the city has placed these large curbs that jut out into the street. I have seen several cars run into them, slam on their breaks and close calls and accidents there. who is making these decisions to place medians and curbs that narrow the street access. the city of bloomington is becoming very difficult to access in a car. they have made it hard to see the roads at night. another area is the median they placed on 10th street near the bypass. I have seen people swerve to miss it and find the narrow road to access 10th going to campus. with all of the visiting parents and travelers that come to the city and campus, you would think the engineers would widen roads and make things more accessible instead of causing areas where accidents are more likely to happen. especially there on college avenue across from the convention center.
Potholes, Other Street Repair

There are two deteriorating areas in front our home on S. Kings Court. They were repaired once by the street department several years ago and have returned. I believe the one near my driveway is made worse each time the city garage truck pulls in to empty our cans. The top two to three inches of the road surface is torn away and it is starting to tear into the bottom layers. The other in the middle of the street is about three feet long and 6 to 8 inches deep. When my the city last repaired these sections, they coated the areas with hand thrown mix and tapped it down by hand…IT LASTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS! It was a bandaid patch, folks! Isn't it more cost effective to fix these potholes correctly the first time…?

I have a question regarding the lights on the tennis courts at Wilson and Bryan Parks. I recently went over to Wilson Park and noticed that the lights which use to come on at 7:30 PM are no longer being turned on. The same is true at Bryan Park. Is this a permanent change until spring? I noticed at Wilson Park that although the tennis court lights were turned off the parking lights still were on. Is there any chance that the lights on the tennis courts, even if just on one court, could be left on for a little longer say into the end of November, in the evenings? Though cold the weather has not reached a point where it is unreasonable to play outside in the evenings. I realize the answer is probably no, especially in light of budgeting concerns, but I just felt it was worth asking. Thanks
Sincerely,
Chris Sontag
