Dangerous intersection - should install traffic controls to prevent people heading South on Curry Pike to turn East in to Speedway and keep people from turning South out of Speedway. This intersection is very busy and I have seen multiple near misses in the last few weeks.
The street between Madison and College on 14th has seen an enormous increase in traffic. I have lived on Woodburn for 18 years and have seen this especially in the last 3 years due to development. As such, this very short stretch of pavement needs repaving and not just continuous patching. Also, it needs to be clearly shown where people can park and where they cannot either by street markings and signage or a combination of both.The enormous increase in apartment building based "student" housing has caused this road to be torn up much faster than in the past. Please contact me with some info on what is to be done with this short but highly traveled street. Perhaps 1 or more car counters should be put out to see what the rate is?
Cars ZOOM down 12th Street, especially early in the mornings when they are racing to work. This is because there are NO stop-signs between Indiana and Walnut. I would like a stop sign at 11th and Lincoln, or better yet a round-about.
sinkhole developing over street train, also sidewalk material deteriorating, coming apart in several places
I received a parking ticket on 11/09/2013 due to incorrect signage for the new parking meters. It is not clear which meter is for a specific parking space in front of Le Petit Cafe on 6th Street on the north side of the street. It is not clear that the space farthest to the east just next to the rails-to-trails path is a valid parking spot since the east side of the space has a yellow curb. Yellow curbs typically indicate "no parking." this are needs better signage. That space isn't even wide enough for the average car if it is even supposed to be a parking space. The curb should be repainted to clearly indicate if it is a parking space or not.
Car was broken into last night 11/17/2021. My glove compartment was left wide open with papers thrown around and my clothes that were in the car were found outside about 4 houses down (by me).
Homeless Camp, trash and clothes everywhere. By the dog park. On the southside of the park.
By the warehouse along the Bline: The lack of adequate facilities for the homeless population in Bloomington, combined with all the overgrown vegetation, and potentially the use of the warehouse as a shelter, has resulted in ~ 10 cars being slept in overnight. That part is fine. However, there are no facilities for people to use the restroom, which results in the vegetation (behind the warehouse) and along the Bline being used as a latrine. Can Bloomington please pay attention to the homeless issue and take it seriously? Covid is not going away there must be facilities for people to use the restroom and throw away their rubbish. Currently, it's thrown all over the street on Hillside. Portland built tiny home communities to help with the homeless population, others offer hotel rooms, still other cities provide YMCA-type facilities. Bloomington continues to take this problem seriously and help this critical component of our community! With regard to restrooms in particular, given our current pandemic, safe and sanitary options for human waste are essential. We still do not know whether coronavirus can spread through human feces. Given that we live on karst topology, it is crucial that people aren't pooping outside (never mind walking through it and the horrid smell).
Tons of garbage and debris - e.g., broaken couch, electrical equipment, slurpy cups, clothing, fecal material. Please clean up ....and please come up with a plan to actually provide facilities for the homeless population in Bloomington.
The situation along the B-Line trail around the Grimes bridge is out of control. Tents have been setup along the side of the B-Line just north of the bridge. While riding through this area earlier this morning with my 11 year old, we had an individual come out of one these tents and start yelling at us. This does not feel like a safe situation for anyone.
