NE corner of 17th&dunn. My kids are into riddle humor so maybe you'll enjoy this one: Q. What kind of licensed engineer puts a shared path to the right of a dedicated right turn lane where drivers don't even stop for a red light? A. The kind that ignores the MUTCD. Hahahahaha that's even funnier than the time my 4yo gave a long set up forthe punchline "buttcrack". But in all seriousness, the SE corner doesn't have a sidewalk connection for east/west peds and there are no painted crosswalks either. The MUTCD, bro, bible or nah?

Those scooters are a blight on the City. People just dump them anywhere. Get rid of them now. Do it before some dumbass gets killed because the riders are clueless about how to use them. AND KEEP THEM OFF THE SIDEWALKS. They are a motor vehicle.

Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues

I read an article that stated Bloomington doesn't plan on any new regulations for the scooters. I know this, if these students , as most of the riders I have observed are, keep going there will be problems. I have observed countless scooters on the sidewalks and I a becoming very irritated with the attitude of riders expecting the pedestrians to move aside so they can pass. I think the city needs to have police ticket a few of these riders so they might quit doing it. I personally refuse to move out of their way, as I should not have to. I also see them riding down the B-line, which isn't AS bad, but still is not a good thing. I believe if they are allowed to do this, then I should be allowed to ride my motorcycle on the sidewalks and B-line. Which I might do to make a point. $20 dollar fine might be worth it. Your attention to this matter is appreciated. AND it might be required in the near future. It's a public safety issue in my eyes. Thank you Frank Travis resident and tax payer of Bloomington

Could you please install a painted crosswalk at 3rd and E Grant? 3rd is very high traffic and as cars come around the corner heading west, it makes for a dangerous crossing for pedestrians who are given no right-of-way.

I have been told it is legal to harvest a deer with a crossbow, on your private property, within city limits in Bloomington. I understand the appropriate state license and deer tag are a requirement when performing any hunt. Is this allowed? I cannot find the information online, nor any instruction. Can you provide this direction or point me to the correct point of contact? Thank you very much.

Parks & Playgrounds

Push Place looks like it hasn't had any maintenance since it was created in 1990. It's rusting and the ground covering is disintegrating. I tried looking in the Parks and Rec master plan to see whether there were any plans to upgrade it. But that plan is almost unreadable. When you zoom in to enlarge the letters, you can only see the middle of each of the displayed pages. You say it's a community park, but it doesn't get the kind of attention that other community parks get. This is two complaints: 1) about the condition of the playground and 2) about the condition of your web site.

On the west end of the new construction on the NW corner of 17th&dunn, there is a gap. At the start of the construction they demolished more sidewalk than they built at the end of it.

To whom it may concern, Hello, My name is John Rodriguez. I'm a student from Mount Pleasant High School in Northeast Texas. For our Engineering Program, a couple of students and I, have been aiming to place a concrete slides in one of our local parks. We've contacted a manufacturer and asked for a list of previous customers who own one similar to the one we are considering. Thus I am here with an inquiry. I was wondering if you could give me a direct contact (Email or Phone Number), to someone in the parks department or someone who would know information, pertaining to your concrete slide, particularly things like maintenance and operation. We are compiling a list of comments and reviews for the embankment concrete slide so we can present it to our city for better consideration from them. We would greatly appreciate your assistance Sincerely, John G. Rodriguez

Hello. I reported 165371. I noticed there were thin paint lines now, almost like precursors to new crosswalk paint? Will new thicker lines be painted soon? Thank you!
