Can we do *anything* to address all the speeding on High Street? It's out of control! Some of those speeders are coming from Renwick. We have proven this. We are NOT A RACETRACK. We have children using that new path.
I had reported this before and was rudely dismissed. I understand game day traffic, but it has never been like it was Saturday night. I was stuck in traffic for 45 minutes and had to walk on foot for 15 just to get to my apartment. Every street that ran north/south was blocked off by extremely rude officers. None of which had any type of flashlight or beam to direct drivers. I was put at risk by being forced to walk home alone at night and that is unacceptable. That could have very easily turned into something bad, just because local traffic could not turn onto south walnut. This is unacceptable. There is no reason it should take me 45 minutes just to get 15 minutes away from my apartment. there have been other game days where there has been no issue getting from the tailgating fields to my apartment on 20th street.
Hobo setting off fireworks. Drinking beer. Blocking sidewalk. 6th walnut.
Who doesn't love an afternoon stroll on the iconic Kirwood Avenue past these two guys making the new Graduate so much more attractive! If the view doesn't scare you, the smell will!!!
Green Sedan. Abandoned and vandalized. On Pine between Kirkwood and 6th
kids are being dropped off directly onto South High St while drivers (parents?) are stuck in traffic. With the exception of the well staffed and operated crossings, the stretch from the traffic circle to the school entrance has become an unsafe free for all. Back ups during drop off and pick up extend from school parking lot onto high st,then up E Rogers and E Winslow. Not an easy place to flow that many cars and people but creating a safer situation should be considered.
Red car with four flat tires parked on Greenbriar Lane for over a year. It has not moved.
Abandoned truck causing visual obstruction for pedestrians crossing street.
Many cars heading North and South on Hillsdale are exceeding the 25 MPH speed limit, making it dangerous for pedestrians, bicyclist, and cars backing out of driveways. I'm not sure what the best solution for this is.
Predatory Towing in Bloomington. I have noticed an increase in the amount of tow trucks in and around the downtown area. In particular, Speedy Wrecker Service, has continually towed multiple vehicles in parking meters and then demanded payment be made in cash only. If the city wants people to be invited to spend time downtown they need to create a city ordinances that addresses the cost of towing $100 flat fee and also uses the 24 hour waiting period. What kind of community does Bloomington want to be?
