This is a persistent issue. Bike lanes and sidewalks (near the Lark apartments) are regularly blocked by shopping carts from Target, Bloomingfoods, and sometimes kroger. It is dangerous and especially at night. Abandoned carts are a feature near the Fields, the Monroe, Covenanter Hill, the Lark, but this bike lane and the Clarizz multi use path are the most problematic locations to abandon them. Please contact the Lark to prevent the obstructions in the future.
Expanded gravel driveway by utility pole
I've always thought that I needed to suggest that some sort of "barrier" needed to be put in the large bike lanes as I've seen multiple people attempting to drive or actually driving down them (and I've even had to make a last minute movement when I realized the lane wasn't for cars and I'm from Bloomington and do a ton of driving downtown). The location I noted might not be the exact spot of where I just saw someone doing this, but it's the bike lane all the way down seventh St. Thanks for the consideration and I look forward to seeing this simple improvement soon!!
One realtor 'House for Sale and a 'Painters' advertising sign next to each other in the grass possibly in the ROW.
'Hoosier Model Homes' sign at the corner in the cornfield
'Anthony's Lawncare' sign in the grass right next to the road. ROW?
There appears to be ongoing towing- or auto-related business activity being operated out of this residential rental property. A tow truck is present at the property on a regular basis. At any given time, there are typically 3–4 vehicles stored in the driveway, with 2 additional vehicles consistently kept in the rear of the property behind a bush and shed. Vehicles rotate frequently and are often present for multiple days at a time before being replaced by different vehicles. This pattern has been consistent over time and appears to be more than personal vehicle ownership or occasional guest parking. Observed details: Tow truck is frequently parked at the residence Vehicles rotate regularly (clear turnover) Multiple vehicles stored simultaneously Vehicles remain on-site for days at a time Rear-yard vehicle storage partially concealed from street view Concern: This appears consistent with commercial vehicle storage and towing-related activity at a residential rental property, which may violate zoning, home occupation limits, or vehicle nuisance/parking regulations. Requesting review by the appropriate department.
Similar situation to case #207518. "The Bentley" apartment building on the SE corner of 11th/College has a very bright (and hideously colored) vertical sign right on the corner that is lit up all night long. Is there anything in the city code about illuminated signs? Are they even allowed at residential buildings? What if houses in neighborhoods had such signs broadly announcing the addresses of the houses while being lit up (or maybe even flashing) all night long? This is also an issue at "3-Square" apartments at 916 N. College where there are multiple signs, but they are not nearly as offensive as the others.
