Can the City require that garbage dumpsters be screened from the public and/or somehow protected from scavengers and other vermin? This location regularly has so much waste and refuse that it overfills the container and spills over, creating an eyesore, a health risk, and even at times blocking traffic.
I wanted to propose the addition of a pedestrian crosswalk at the intersection of N Fess Ave and E 10th St. I live in Collins, and when walking between Hillcrest and the general courtyard buildings there are no immediate crosswalks in the area. The addition of white lines, particularly on the west end of this intersection (where there is already a metal grate where the sidewalk meets the road) would be very helpful for residents of Collins and would make the area safer for pedestrians trying to cross the street.
I AM REACHING OUT ABOUT A SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILITY CONCERN I'VE NOTICED NEAR COLLINS THAT I WAS WANTING TO GET TAKEN CARE OF AS CENTER PRESIDENT THIS YEAR. BETWEEN THE MAIN QUAD ON WOODLAWN AND THE HILLCREST APARTMENTS, THERE IS NO CROSSWALK/PEDESTRIAN CROSSING/YIELD SIGN EVEN THOUGH WE ARE SITUATED DIRECTLY BETWEEN TWO BUSY INTERSECTIONS. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE WE DO HAVE LIGHT POSTS ON THIS PATH, THEY ARE ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET, AND THE BULBS ARE VERY DIM. I WAS WONDERING HOW I WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE A CHANGE IMPLEMENTED HERE. THE COLLINS LLC HAS ART STUDIOS IN BOTH THE MAIN QUAD AND AT HILLCREST, AND THEY ARE HARD TO ACCESS SAFELY, ESPECIALLY FOR SOME OF OUR STUDENTS WHO HAVE CHRONIC ILLNESSES AND EYESIGHT ISSUES THAT WOULD BENEFIT FROM A YIELD SIGN, INCREASED LIGHTING, AND POSSIBLE TACTILE PAVING.
See case #185188. Was there any discussion about making 12th Street one-way? After football and basketball games, traffic is horrendous, and food delivery vehicles speed down the street in both directions at all hours. Ideally, you would remove on-street parking and install a protected bike lane in its place. That would give more space for two-lane car traffic. Or keep the on-street parking, add a protected bike lane, and use what is left for one-way vehicle traffic. If you make it one-way west, then the fire trucks could use it when they are hurrying to a fire. Please consider this. Seriously.
Multiple "Campus Walk" advertisement signs in the ROW along 8th and at least one on Lincoln. Telephone number on signs is "(812) 332-1509".
The previous report is not "resolved". "Campus Walk" signs remain. https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=201508
"For Rent" sign in ROW along 10th Street. Company is "Cream and Crimson".
Brawley "For Rent" signs in ROW along 7th Street, Lincoln (400 N. block), Walnut (400 N. block), and Washington (500 N. block). Also on 10th near Grant that might be in ROW, but difficult to determine since they have taken over the whole street.
Could the City install a sidewalk along the west side of Dunn between Cottage Grove and 12th Street? There are also a couple sections in that stretch where there isn't even a sidewalk on the east side of the street, and a lot of people walk down that street even though it is only one-way.
Damaged sidewalk: 8th and Collage
