We were at Olcott Park on Sunday, Nov. 24. The foam/rubber covering on the ground of the playground has gotten very loose and lumpy, which is dangerous because little kids (and adults) trip on the lumps.
Drainage from the football field covers the path from Olcott Park to JCMS with water (even after days with no rain). The water turns to ice when the temperature drops. Dozens of school children and community members use the path daily. I’ve seen school children slip and fall hard on their way to school. In past years the path is not adequately able to be maintained to remove the ice...the ice gets so thick that a general maintenance crew would not be able to remove it once it has formed. This path is often skipped by snow removal efforts (not sure if it’s City or MCCSC). Please consider a way to redirect this flow before someone gets seriously hurt. Thank you.
uReport Case #166260: Hi, This repair has not been made yet. There are no indications that a utility locator service has marked the immediate area. The cone disappeared a long time ago & school buses keep running over the storm inlet. Was wondering when the repair might happen? If the grate collapses, it's going to seriously damage a vehicle. Thanks!
Streetlight on the SE corner of E. Canada Drive & Claybridge Drive was knocked down by a car last week.
The north bound walk signal at Atwater and Indiana/Henderson does not turn on automatically and sometimes does not work even if the button is pushed. I was nearly hit today by a driver turning right because the signal did not turn on. It should be made automatic so that friction between drivers and pedestrians are reduced so close to the heavily pedestrian campus.
The meter 7671 on Walnut between Kirkwood and 6th street is not working properly. I put two coins in which registered. The third and fifth coin did not register. I did my errand and skipped having dinner downtown since I didn't want to get a citation. This is not economically good for the downtown area. I avoid going downtown as much as possible since about a third of the time I try to use a meter, it malfunctions.
The road block on Rogers south of Tapp road is a serious road hazard for those who are turning left from westbound Tapp onto Rogers. The southbound lane of Rogers is blocked off so if you need to turn left, it is nearly impossible if someone is in the northbound lane of Rogers turning left. There is considerable local traffic in the area, especially to the Bloomington Country Club. This is a dangerous traffic hazard and is an accident on the way to happen. Please fix this situation.
Hello, I live near the Jackson creek trail and find the new lights to be a complete disappointment. They are extremely bright and it no longer feels as though you are walking through nature, but rather a parking lot. Not only is it aesthetically unappealing but I am also concerned for the local wildlife. Light pollution can have a tremendous impact on the lives of nocturnal animals. I have been hearing spring peepers and owls this year but I’m concerned that these lights will affect these animals negatively. For one, artificial night light hinders an owls ability to hunt. For a city supposedly concerned about the environment, I find this change to be extremely disheartening. While I advocate for getting rid of them all together, the lights should at least be put on a timer so that they go off when the park is closed— around ten or 11. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
The drilling contractors on 10th Street near Barrington Place and Woodbridge Apartments appears to have left potentially hazardous items on the ground. At the very least, these items constitute unsightly and unwanted litter. At worst, the items could be leaking in an area that ultimately drains to Griffy Lake via a nearby stream located downslope.
