I live barely within city limits off N Kinser. I don't care if this is a city or county issue, but with Cascades closed indefinitely, Bayles is the "best" route from N Kinser to SR37/Old 37. Bayles is in terrible shape and needs pothole repair along nearly its entire length.

Also has had signs of vagrancy with clothing and trash left behind. At our building we've seen more folks now resting on our stoop (ring camera) after hours and on weekends. Assuming this is a result of them not being able to access the next door property. My non-profit is a tenant of the building.

The alley connecting W 3rd Street to W 4th Street, adjacent to 415 W 4th Street, has become a significant pedestrian safety concern. Vehicles frequently travel through the alley and cross the sidewalk onto W 4th Street without stopping or yielding to pedestrians. There is currently no stop sign, crosswalk, or other traffic control indicating that drivers should stop before crossing the pedestrian path. This is a year-round issue but it becomes especially hazardous during IU student move-in and other high-traffic periods, when both vehicle and pedestrian traffic increase considerably. People who regularly walk through this area have reported multiple instances of nearly being struck by vehicles exiting the alley. I am requesting that the City evaluate this location and consider installing a stop sign for vehicles exiting the alley and/or adding a marked pedestrian crossing or other appropriate safety measure. Given the limited visibility and lack of any traffic-control signage, some form of intervention seems necessary before someone is injured.

We have lost about a third of this tree this year. We tried to send pictures of other angles but there appears to be just one allowed. The branches are falling with wind and without wind. It is an eyesore and the sidewalk has also separated and moved by the tree.

Now that the speed limit on 11th Street has been reduced to 25, can we please lower the limit on Diamond Street to 20 or even 15? It’s a very short stretch of road, but for some reason people feel the need to gun it on the way between 11th Street and Trailview neighborhood. There’s really no good reason to drive faster than 15mph or so on this stretch and it endangers pedestrians going between 11th and the B-Line.

This ticket logs a critical safety and infrastructure failure at the downtown transit terminal. The facility functions as an unmanaged space during early mornings, evenings, and Sundays when the building is locked and no staff or active security are present between bus arrivals and departures. This vacuum completely undermines the heavily marketed "Bloomington Transit for Everyone" campaign and the commitment to the "Safe Streets for All" Action Plan. This submission is a constructive, collaborative data point to help the city align its public transit utilities with its economic development goals. As a daily commuter, I strongly support the continuation of Local Income Tax (LIT) funding for Bloomington Transit. However, the direct fallout of reduced staffing and restricted off-peak hours has created an unmanaged environment. This is a critical issue just feet away from the city’s new convention center expansion and hotel project, which will rely heavily on a robust hospitality workforce. Because hospitality wages make public transit a mandatory option for many employees, ensuring a secure central hub is a vital economic requirement.Certain individuals use the unstaffed terminal grounds to engage in long-term surveillance of riders. By tracking commuters carrying work gear or groceries, they openly map out riders' predictable shift routines and when their residences are left unattended, disproportionately targeting some of the solo women. I utilize strict "gray rock" protocols, keeping earbuds in, wearing sunglasses, and looking down, yet I am still approached multiple times a month by men who take rejection personally. Past instances of choosing not to remain friendly resulted in them shouting and intimidating me. It does not happen to everyone, just people they think seem vulnerable, nice, stable, and frequently travel alone. Many passengers have their own mental health concerns and cannot always be responsible for managing an unmanaged day shelter space while just trying to get to a hospitality job. The current setup causes a constant cortisol spike before and after work for the young and middle-aged women who realize they are being targeted. Anyone driving by can see the flashing emergency lights at the transit center for medical issues without having to experience the daily position of a captive commuter. People who are not riding the bus and use the space as an unmonitored day shelter do not all cause problems, but some do and cannot or will not accept other provided services. Sundays are not a place where those social services are available with any kind of supervision or oversight. It is just an unstaffed slab to sit. On Sundays and off-hours, there are longer layovers, a bit of a Transit trap of longer waits or missed opportunities when you need to transfer buses, and no one answers the phone lines at Bloomington Transit. Riders are left with only two unsustainable options. You can tell a bus driver when a bus finally arrives, but they are focused on driving and unable to address terminal grounds safety. Furthermore, some drivers are new, and reporting a harasser out loud to a confused driver who asks questions puts a commuter completely "on blast" to the group watching on the benches. Otherwise, you are forced to follow Police Captain Ryan Pedigo's instruction to simply call 911 every time. This creates a severe retaliation trap. Because the terminal is unstaffed, calling the police inside a fixed space puts a permanent target on a working-class commuter's back who cannot afford alternative transit options. If the harasser leaves before responders arrive, the surrounding group watches, notes who called, and targets them on future commutes. This safety crisis is compounded by a breakdown in basic utility infrastructure. Bloomington Transit’s campaigns encourage riders to use mobile ticketing apps and bring a water bottle. However, on weekends and Sundays, the locked terminal entirely cuts off plumbing and water refills during federal heat advisories, even though passengers need to stick close by the facility to wait for buses in the shade. Furthermore, the outdoor ticketing machines are frequently broken, forcing mobile app reliance, but the terminal provides no charging stations. Commuters cannot safely carry overheating power banks in extreme heat, leaving them vulnerable to dead phone batteries with no way to access bus passes or text for help.Bloomington cannot successfully grow its hospitality sector via the convention center expansion if the essential workers required to run it are left vulnerable and unprotected at its central transit hub. Please allocate LIT transit funding away from glossy marketing and directly into continuous, supervisor-led security monitoring, weekend facility access, and reliable public utility infrastructure. Thank you for all you do to get Bloomington's long term, low wage workforce to work, food, retail, medical, and other services safely.
