Nuisance Lights

4270 W 3rd ST

Case Date:
3/19/2024

The traffic light turn signals need adjustment. The cameras detect traffic going straight thinking that someone is using the turn lane. This stops traffic unnecessarily and we all just sit there and wait. I love destroying the environment as much as the next person, but there are other things I like even more. And that is getting a green light. What are you going to do with the information, Christina? Must be break time.

Street & Traffic Signs

Case Date:

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.

Excessive Growth

2414 E 7th ST

Case Date:
3/20/2024

Property manager does not maintain sidewalk clearance. Passersby have removed obstructive invasive branches which remain piled in the yard. The tree in the photo has multiple invasive weeds that need to be removed as well as the tree trimmed back from the sidewalk. There is another tree north of this location that is in similar condition. I personally brought this to the attention of the property manager with no response. Hence turning to uReport. Thanks.

Biking & Walking

Case Date:
3/20/2024

The 3rd street bicycle lane adjacent to the IU campus has been massively improved with the newly installed barriers! This section of the commute takes me 3 fewer minutes to bicycle on now that drivers don't block the bicycle lane. Biking in this lane feels so much safer and more comfortable with the barriers up, especially since considering drivers tend to go pretty fast on this road. Also, the barriers don't look like an eyesore at all, which is something I previously read that IU officials were concerned about. The barriers blend into the background enough to not be garish, but they are still clearly visible to drivers and cyclists. Honestly they're pretty stylish for bicycle lane barriers. As a bicycle commuter, even small-scale projects like this make me feel cared about by the city. It makes me glad to be a Bloomingtonian! Laissez le B-Town rouler!

Parks & Playgrounds

Case Date:
3/20/2024

Switchyard park has become unsafe. None of my mom friends want to hang out here. There’s men lurking around and sleeping in playground areas , it feels like they are watching the kids. Bloomington has to do something about the homeless situation or at least keep the homeless off the playgrounds!! Very disappointed that this beautiful playground is not safe for kids. At least add More security around playground area

City Performance

Case Date:
3/20/2024

I live on Woodburn Ave. An on Wednesday March 20th around 930am the person driving this city vehicle not only was driving way to fast down my street where kids live and play. But while out putting markings down was loudly talking/yelling to himself I assume, but it was foul language that I would not want my child to hear and possibly repeat. I know in my field of work, when you clock in you are representing your place of work. I am shocked that this is the way the city is representing out in the public eye.

Utility Construction Projects

2217 E Autumn DR

Case Date:
3/20/2024

Lineal Contracting from Bedford is putting in underground utilities for something (AT&T I think) in our area and left a hole in my front yard (and my neighbors) and took off without filing it in. Haven’t seen them in over a week. I called them but they gave no answers and didn’t contact me when they said they would. All I (and my neighbor) request is they return to finish their work. A complete disrespect of private property. Can you help? Enough is enough with this!!

Street Trees

Case Date:
3/20/2024

Hello. I recently read that many cities (more than in the past) only are planting male trees as less fruit than female trees for cleanup. Something along those lines. Anyways in short the male trees (from what I have read) are wind-blown pollen versus insect-transmitted for female. Short of it, is that all male trees is causing a big increase in suffering among those such as myself with tree pollen allergies. So please do more fruit trees/female trees. Plus fruit/food producing trees are just so much more awesome for a community. Apparently it's called botanical sexism amongst urban planners and it is increasingly recognized as a big problem. We NEED more female trees to remove pollen from the air; I could hardly breathe today. Thank you for considering diversifying the sex of Bloomington trees. I am hopeful we already are focusing on mixed or exclusively female trees and not falling into the trap of botanical sexism of male only.

Potholes, Other Street Repair

739 N Oolitic DR

Case Date:

There is a massive trench across the full width of N Oolitic Drive. It has gotten terrible and I fear is a safety risk. It has been there since at least August 2023.
