On Walnut Street the sidewalk near the railroad is covered in glass pieces, which is a hazard for people and animals making the sidewalk inaccessible for dog walking. There is also often glass in the grass between the sidewalk and the road, which again is a hazard for animals.
This innocent fella was at a local pet store also known as Anthony’s pets.. While I was there I noticed the puppy couldn’t notice any hand gestures and literally barely moved.. Ehen he was awake you could definitely tell by looking in his eyes he was blind.. (I have an Aussie and know my fair share of info on the breed) anyways.. when telling him he argued and told me 1,600 for the puppy.. I a college kid do not have that so I had to leave the puppy.. I believe that knowing this condition and denying it when asking about it is unfair and not right.. In my opinion this place needs shut down because of this and other previous issues within the store.. The dogs are NOT well taken care of and that’s completely visible to anyone that has common sense.
There are three cars parked on Walnut near the corner of 17 and Walnut. They seemed to have been parked there overnight. Isn't there some ordinance to prevent someone from parking in the street? This is not designated as a parking area. Can't they be towed?
my trash, but not my recycling was not collected this morning. Both were out, unobstructed. I assume just oversight. But this creates a problem for me as the recycling bin I have is usually almost full each week.
Bethel Lane construction. For weeks this community has continually been taken hostage by a private company attempting to “fix” water lines. This company continuously blocks traffic at unnecessary times. It seems to always when school is letting out that they decide to keep traffic stopped, even though they, and the City ya ensured the county they would not hinder this traffic and work with the schools for ease of traffic flow. I find it extremely frustrating that the City of Bloomington would care so little about about it’s residents and families. This heavy traffic and blocked traffic pattern has cause myself and many others late from picking up a child at school or getting home to get a second child attending a different school. I hope that some one from this office or one from above can look at these many projects around Bloomington and actually manage them in accordance to the community and just not profit margins and revenues.
I am writing to request a 4 way stop sign at a very dangerous to pedestrians and drivers crossstreets on picture attached. Although there is a yield for one side of incoming traffic, I oftentimes find myself having to hit the breaks at a quick turn here onto incoming traffic, even if you have the right of way. I live in this neighborhood and drive under this bridge/on the curb every day, several times a day. It’s a safety issue that I’m surprised hasn’t been looked into. I’m happy to do anything else to push forward an evaluation and get some stop signs placed here. Thank you! Ruth Vaca
Hello! I’m a resident of 639 north maple street. On my dead end street, there is an untrimmed, unofficial entrance that MANY residents of the neighborhood access on a daily basis. However, the path that has been roughly paved by passerby’s is steep, rocky, untrimmed and dangerous, especially in rain or snow. Even in the summer, it is dangerous. Children and pregnant women have issues going through here. I have tried to enter the b-line this way, but it’s too dangerous and steep for me. Anyway we can get something done for the neighborhood? We know there’s a sidewalk and safer way after the bridge on 11th to access, but out of convenience or maybe ambiance, most people enter through our dead end makeshift entrance. The makeshift entrance seems to not be in a definitive tenants yard/property. No one really knows. If someone could come check it out, that’d be great and appreciated. Thanks! - Ruth
I am very concerned about the cross walks on the B-line trail downtown. Cars are not stopping/yielding to people who are crossing. I was almost hit 3 times this week! And, I saw someone else almost get hit. Drivers of cars are not seeing the small sign that says yield State law that is posted in the middle of the cross walks. Can the city put in yield signs on the left of the crosswalks. We need more signage. It is very scary and I would not want anyone to get hurt. I know it is busy since students are back in town, but still people are not stopping and the city should make the signs more visible!
On E Second Street on the west end across from Rogers and Binford schools: the YOUR SPEED indicator sign has been broken for a while now.
There is a large pothole in the southbound bike lane on N Walnut St near E Glendora Dr.
