Blocked Street
909 S Sheridan DR

- 12/22/2020
There is a house on Sheridan between Maxwell and Jordan on the north/west side of the street that has giant pavers sitting on the roadway in front of the house. They are just right on the pavement, obstructing the road. These are a danger to pedestrians, cyclists, children, and vehicles. Can someone go take a look and understand why there are big pavers on the road surface?
Potholes, Other Street Repair

Right under the B-Line bridge over Grimes in the westbound lane of traffic there is a square cutout in the road that forms a decent sized pothole. Can this get filled?
Sidewalk Requests
17th & Kinser Pike, Bloomington, IN 47404, USA
- Case Date:
- 12/23/2020
Please put in crosswalks here. This is a dangerous intersection and there is a lot of foot traffic here. I had to jump out of the way of a car that came within a few inches of hitting me when I was crossing when I had right-of-way.
Also please extend the sidewalk north of here on the west side of Kinser Pike; it stops at the Midas property line and people have to cross to the east side of Kinser for a sidewalk or they walk along the road or in people's yards.

Every since the parks department allowed tents at seminary park throughout the day there are increasingly large numbers of people not social distancing without mask in a small confined space. They are then dispersing throughout the community (Kroger, shalom, rally’s, etc...), once again not wearing mask. This is not what the CDC means when they say not to tear down homeless communities. It’s to prevent them spreading disease. Our homeless community still socializes without regard to others in the community and therefore not breaking up that tent camp is irrelevant to what the CDC recommends.
Also there are tons of laws being broke at seminary park every day. The park is filled with trash, used needles, and feces just to name a few problems. Litter is blowing everywhere in the surrounding area.
The law and rules apply to everyone in the community. Please hold everybody accountable!
Failure to do so will impact Bloomington’s economy and slow the recovery through this pandemic.

I live at the corner of S. Park Avenue and University Street. In the last two months, there have been at least 4 traffic accidents at the corner when someone does not stop. While the police were called for 2 of the accidents, the others did not involve the police (drove off or exchanged information). The police were called when the accidents were significant enough to require towing away one (or both) vehicles. I do not know that a four-way stop is the right solution to reduce this problem, but something should be done.

A pedestrian just died from a vehicle strike at Park Ridge and 3rd. Please don't let the residential street of Morningside be next, treated by many cars similarly to 3rd. Writing to remind that though there may be less walking and biking in the winter months that it still happens and is more dangerous as often darker and with cars less vigilant. Please move forward with traffic calming as soon as possible for Park Ridge East. Thank you for your attention. I look forward to the day when our kids can bike and play as we could when we were younger. We may not be able to play street hockey like we used to in the street but hoping we can at least learn to ride our bikes on it.

Abandoned Kmart reminds an eyesore on eastside with more and more cars parked there. Seems to be an industrial/service parking lot right now. Could be sooooo much better utilized for a busy bustling part of town near the mall. Nice to emphasize walking space and green space there but some restaurants/retail/hotel and perhaps commercial or housing too. Please provide incentives for development since a number of years now. Or a nice planning group like has happened in other redevelopment sites. Thank you!
