2701-2749 South Walnut Street
- Case Date:
- 3/31/2016
We have noticed since we moved to Hoosier Street in South Bloomington about two years ago that it is increasingly difficult to turn out from our street not only during peak driving hours, but increasingly so throughout the day. In addition to it being difficult it is also quite dangerous. There are several reasons for this. First, being the high volume of vehicles on walnut which is two lanes in this area. There is also a large hill north of the intersection which makes it difficult to see traffic coming south on Walnut. In addition at the bottom of the hill heading south the speed limit increases from 30 to 40mph. As a result motorists start to accelerate coming down the hill before the speed limit sign and shortens the amount of time to pull onto walnut. Finally, if turning left off Walnut onto Hoosier or Ridgeview is increasingly dangers as other motorists will drive around the turning driver. This could be prevented by painting lines, putting in curbs, etc. Today we had a multiple car crash that resulted in our neighbors mother going to the hospital. I'm frankly am surprised that it has taken this long to occur. This intersection is a ticking time bomb. We are always nervous turning into our street that we will get rear ended and turning out onto Walnut at some parts of the day is impossible. Additionally we live on a dead end street. When we go for a walk to get to a side walk or a local park we have to cross Walnut with no crosswalk and no traffic signal to stop traffic. This intersection is completely in accessible and cuts off our street from the rest of the the neighborhoods in the area. It would be great to allow the young families with children and pets on our street to be able to safely access walkable neighborhoods and city parks. Please consider making changes to this dangerous intersection for the safety of the city's citizens.

Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)
1000 S High ST
- Case Date:
- 4/1/2016
I have traveled High Street between Arden Rd. and 3rd Street twice a day for the last ten years. Every time there is a heavy rain, water accumulates and flows down High Street between E. Mores Pike and 2nd St. forcing me to move to the other lane to avoid going through large amounts of water creating a very unsafe situation. I was delighted to see this section of High Street repaved last summer and noticed the sewers also being worked on. I assumed, incorrectly, that the runoff problem would be corrected during this maintenance project. Since the paving the runoff has actually gotten worse. Are there plans to fix this unsafe situation so cars can travel safely on High Street without endangering drivers and pedestrians? I regularly see in the Herald Times where is city is allocating and spending money on hiking and biking trails, sidewalks and various pedestrian conveniences. Why don’t we spend some of that money on making our streets safe and passable?
Looking forward to your reply,
Franklin Lograsso

I have been a teacher at the Project School for 3 years now and we are in desperate need of more clear signage that Smith Ave is a one way street going west, especially now that Chocolate Moose has started food truck fridays again. I'm guessing because of the bike lane and the stop sign going East it may confuse drivers, but I think we need paint on the road with arrows and more one way signage.
Potholes, Other Street Repair

With all of the construction of the new apartment buildings along college and walnut, are there any plans to fix the streets? the area just south of 17th and college is extremely dangerous with the addition of the parking spaces and NO lane markings. I think the city needs to focus on the roads a little more, especially the main street through town. The area of college and walnut between hwy 46 and the square has been neglected for too long and needs repaired.

TOTALLY fucked that people are allowed to block an alley with a construction dumpster when they have a driveway that is large enough to contain the dumpster. THANKS so much for looking out for the public...oh yeah, I forgot, private individual needs always trump the public...this city sucks

Greetings,
Starting around 2a on April 4, a horribly obnoxious ringing began filling the air near the hospital. It is running non-stop, and is rather painful to the ears.
Is it the IU Health hospital? If not, what else is doing this, and is it possible to have it stop?
Thank you!
