Greetings, I am unsure if this is a city issue, but hope that you can point me in the right direction. In the area between our sidewalk and the road there are two tree stumps. I am writing to see if there is any way these can be removed as they are quite unsightly. Our property is at 4111 South Falcon Drive Bloomington, IN 47403. Many thanks, Jodie
The sidewalk in front of 411 South Lincoln street is covered in a thick layer of gravel.
Fee and 17th - corner of south west sidewalk. I've tripped over this area three times and last winter dislocated my shoulder when I fell on this. Please fix it!
I'm a resident at Ambassador Apartments, and these potholes (4 major ones) are always on my way to the bus, dumpster, and sidewalk. I'm blind, and I cannot notice these while I'm walking, and I've fallen on them many times. I've lived here since 2011, and these potholes have existed since that time without being repaired.
Hello - as of 9:30 PM on May 31st, there's a very large tree limb that appears to have come down during today's storm that is completely covering the sidewalk and some of the street at the corner of Hillside and Palmer. I tried to move it but it's too large for one person. Thanks!
I contacted IU but they said this light belongs to the city. The light to let pedestrians cross at 10th and Fee Lane (going from Kelley School to the Arboretum) is not working. I stood out there in the rain for 5 minutes today, pressing the button several times, but it did not turn to the pedestrian light when it was supposed to. Instead, cars kept going so I walked all the way up the sidewalk to the library where there is a "yield" pedestrian crosswalk; not that anyone does. This is a busy cross intersection for pedestrians, especially with orientation going on.
The traffic signal at east 3rd and Smith Rd the south bound side of Smith Rd at east 3rd needs a left turn arrow to help with the flow of traffic. Cars wanting to turn left on 3rd have to wait for on coming traffic. Some cars don't move forward or scoot over to allow other cars to get around them. Sometimes only one or two cars make it through the intersection and during busy times I've seen it back up passed the train underpass and as far as 10th Street. I have reported this before and was told that was a INDOT light and INDOT said it was a city of Bloomington light. I figured whoever paid for the paving and handicap sidewalk improvements on smith road would be responsible for the traffic light. And with all the apartments being built on the east side traffic is only going to get worse. I've lived in park ridge east for 20 years and it has always been a issue. Send someone out and have them stand at the entrance of Park ridge east on morningside and Smith and watch the traffic. A left turn arrow for 8 to 10 seconds would keep the flow of traffic moving better.
Debris in roundabout at 17 and Arlington. Shopping cart, car tire, etc blocking the sidewalk on W-NW side.
The sidewalk imprints about walking your scooters across the street are degrading, and are slippery. I was walking on Kirkwood, and the one on the corner in front of the Cafe Pizzeria (that corner) is where I slipped and hurt my right knee. I walk frequently there as I am a student at IU, and it's only slippery on top of the remneants of that imprint. Someone is going to get hurt or die even if they crack their skull!
On the NW corner of 10th and Forrest there is a hazardous situation. There is no sidewalk along Forrest, but there is on 10th. When someone is walking south on Forrest on the west side of the street, the person must walk in a grassy area that looks a bit like a sidewalk from a distance, though it is only grass. When that person gets to the intersection with 10th Street, there is a drop-off of about 4 inches to the 10th Street sidewalk that is unexpected and jarring. Perhaps a little ramp there would improve the situation, though the addition of a sidewalk along Forrest would be a more ideal remedy. It is not clear if this is a City or a Campus issue, so please forward if this request should be sent to IU instead.
