Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

2837 N Blue Slopes DR

Case Date:
2/20/2019

As the owner of Crazy Horse Tavern, I’ve been volunteering for downtown issues for over 25 years. One of my personal goals is to grow the tourism throughout the city for building a stronger economy. But I’m now tackling a problem related to the substantial growth in tourism. It initially seemed reasonable to allow tour busses to park on city street in front of hotels, but there a too many days where half of the available parking on the block is taken by busses. Some days,like today, it’s 100% bus parking g without a single parking space available for a visiting family or business guest in the hotel or even a customer for a downtown shop. This isn’t normal parking management. It’s not good parking management. The busses should be parked in a large lot like the convention center or Assembly Hall (IU groups) I have helped manage a lot of downtown growth issues and this one looks to be easily fixable. Thanks for any help Ron Stanhouse c812-345-1091

2800-3898 S Deborah Dr, Bloomington, Indiana, 47403

Case Date:
3/15/2019

Deborah Drive could use turn lanes to enter onto Tapp Road. Only access to medical park since I-69 project, and has a lot of traffic. Lanes are wide enough already. Often the right turn lane takes an excessive amount of time due to people turning left from the middle of the road blocking right turn access.

Traffic Related Complaints

2701 N Kinser PIKE

Case Date:
3/20/2019

I have currently lived on Kinser Pike for a little over three years, but in this last year I have witnessed two accidents right in front of my home. Two others were witnessed by my neighbors, for a total of four this year alone (not including the semi that took out the utility pole at the skate park). Just this morning (3/20/2019), a car spun out and almost crashed into the timber once again while I sat in my kitchen. I am extremely concerned about the curve on Kinser Pike right after the skate park. Traffic has become unbearable since we truly only have one way in and out of the neighborhood and to BHSN. I have also witnessed several school buses exceeding the speed limit by what I would guess is at least 10 MPH. I ask the city to please consider looking into this issue as we have children who live on this street as well as pedestrians crossing the street or using the sidewalks. This is still a neighborhood and it needs to be treated like one, not a highway.

SUBWAY

Case Date:
3/21/2019

Woodlawn, alley between the Subway/apartment building and rental house. Shrubs block all traffic visibility. Pulling out onto Woodlawn, you can't see what's coming from the right/heading south. Not even pedestrians on the sidewalk can be seen. Dangerous to pull out here since you pull out blindly not knowing what's coming, but also very dangerous for pedestrians (and bikers/scooters) because we can't see them coming when we pull out. There is an IU parking lot in this alley, so it's used daily by several people who say a little prayer for safety every time they have to leave work from this location. This has been reported by colleagues more than once, but the building owner has never taken any action. Not even so much as to trim the shrubs back. In our opinion, the shrubs should be removed completely. Even by trimming, pedestrians still would not be visible.

701-799 E 2nd St, Bloomington, Indiana, 47401

Case Date:
4/7/2019

The intersection at E 2nd St and S Park Ave is unsafe. It's where 2nd St jogs to the south and it should probably be a four way stop. I'm not actually sure what would be best, but it's a dangerous intersection.

Potholes, Other Street Repair

E Winslow Rd, Bloomington, Indiana, 47401

Case Date:
4/14/2019

On Winslow Road, in the West bound lane, near Winslow Court, there is a distinct hollow echo when vehicles drive over a specific spot. I'm concerned that a void may have appeared over the years.
