Traffic Related Complaints

Case Date:
7/11/2016

The construction crew on South Sare road at the new apartments started setting up safety barrels at 7:45am. They blocked traffic for 10 min. They had no signs up, and there were to many of the workers standing and talking to the flaggers keeping them distracted and in the road making the conditions unsafe to the workers and motorists. One worker was laughing and turned without looking and almost got hit by 1 of the many drivers that were forced to turn around in the middle of the street due to being late for work and very long lines. Several of the workers did not have their safety helmets or safety vests on. And the last several work days they have left the road in muddy conditions making the road slippery when it rains. I live in the apartments adjacent to the construction site and have witnessed cars slightly sliding when they have to hit theirs brakes quickly due to the heavy traffic and the heavy population in the area. Please have the crews take care of the safety issues and concerns. I know when I was inspecting for smithville communications during their mass construction a few years ago that I was asked to have the crews I was in charge of to wait until after 8am to set up any work that required a flagger unless it was an ongoing job and the barrels were left out from the previous day with a temporary stop light and warning signs. Thank you Ben Kirk

Construction hazards on SARE Rd, lanes not properly shut down, no signs, construction had me in standstill traffic for OVER TEN MINUTES on my way to work this morning at 8 AM, should NOT be allowed to close lanes during morning rush hour, people holding signs to direct traffic were not coordinating with each other causing more hazards, again very upset they are even allowed to close lanes that early on a job that is nonemergency, will continue to complain to every channel necessary to get this RIDICULOUS problem solved so I am not late to work again

Hey there I was searching for some articles about hiking guides and came across your page "bloomington.in.gov/documents/viewDocument.php?document_id=530". I noticed you linked one of my favourite articles "guide to hiking basics" in your sidebar under the name the ultimate hiking guide. Just wanted to let you know I created a similar article but much more thorough and up to date. hilehighvalley.com/ultimate-hiking-guide-and-hiking-tips Might be worth a mention on your page. Either way, keep up the awesome work Cheers, Nathan

As I read several reports concerning PUDs and student housing in general, I regularly come upon an acronym, DUE. Would you please tell me what DUE stands for? Thank you. GJK

Re: Non-inclusive equipment at Griffy Lake- Hello, I am an avid Kayaker and was excited to learn of Griffy's addition of 6 kayaks. My husband and I had visited several times and enjoyed the canoes (there were never kayaks available) and were glowing with praise for our new favorite lake. (photo attached). My excitement soon turned to bitter disappointment, and at this point I have no desire to return to Griffy. My husband and I rented a car to visit, only to be turned away (after the woman behind the counter looked me up and down) for being too large to ride. The kayaks at Griffy are the smallest size made with the lowest weight limit on the market. This is not inclusive. I urge you to consider adding a larger models that accommodate adult kayakers. This would better serve the community and prevent others from having this embarrassing, expensive, and horribly negative experience. Thank you for your consideration. Andrea McManis
