Potholes on Allen from Bloomfield to adams
Potholes on Allen from Bloomfield to adams
Utility truck blocking lane performing maintenance without a lane spotter. Unsafe to pass
The amount of semi tractor trailers traffic has increased. Semi’s turning from Bloomfield Rd on to Allen have to wait and block traffic for the turn while using the their lane and the center turning lane. Also they almost bother lanes of Allen St for a block or more until they get their semi straightened out. And if 2 happen to pass each on Allen st they have to crawl to not hit rub each other or take out mail boxes or trees. When they heading westbound on Allen Dr and try to get on to Bloomfield rd is an ordeal depending which way they and turn in and if they have a load. I don’t understand why something can’t be done to force them to use the truck route that was put in just for this purpose.
Can something be done about the greenway along the front of Auto Heaven? Glass and trash all over the road and people living in the cars along to sides. It would be hazardous to bike or walk with your pet through this stretch of road.
This morning, November 10, on my son’s way to school, he slid off the road and damaged his car. He was not going to fast, nor could he have done anything to prevent it as he hit a patch of ice on a curve. While a somewhat new driver comparatively, he has experience navigating slick conditions from growing up racing and riding 4 wheelers, dirt bikes, etc. The reason he slid off the road is because it was not salted, sanded or treated in any way. The road, Acuff, is a road traveled by many students to get to Bloomington North. As he sat and waited for his Father to help him, he witnessed numerous cars almost run into him, do 360’s, and hit curbs. Why this road wasn’t a priority being a route to the school is baffling. I hope roads that are connected to school parking lots will become a priority, especially as in this case when the weather was no surprise.
I submitted a complaint, case #206728 and Cheyenne Bowlen was assigned to it. I was told that the city does not do past 100 ft off of Kinser pike, and that it was the county’s responsibility and to reach out to them. I did. They said it is, in fact the city’s responsibility to do Acuff, and that they only have responsibility of Prow, just before it turns to Acuff. The county was confident and firm in their boundaries. So, either one of you is wrong, or there is an unfortunately placed gap in service, as it is a very sharp curve that happens to be the route many kids drive themselves to and from school. Please look into this with consideration to the kids.
The street light across the street from 1210 W 8th is out (again).
The right side of the street has no parking signs that can't be seen and no part of the curb is yellow. Starting at the first house as it curves numerous cars like to park at night on that side going up to spring Street. From the first house up 2 the first stop sign have people. Parking on the no parking side. We've asked them 2 stop, but maybe because this is a dead end street the city hasn't addressed the brush blocking the signs And no yellow curbs. My girlfriend hit a truck parked illegally at night last week. Sorry. To ramble but we need this addressed B4 someone gets hurt/ and or winter gets here
The street was not plowed well, and the sidewalks were not cleared. It is very icy.
I reported this a while back, and it's happened again. The street sign at 8th and Morton is twisted around so that the Morton part is aligned with 8th and the 8th part is aligned with Morton.
