Biking & Walking
351 S Washington ST
- Case Date:
- 7/28/2026
Hello,
The section of Washington between E. 3rd and E. 2nd was repaved some time ago. Originally, a bike lane was painted on this section of road. You can still faintly see where the original lane was and there are still biking symbols on the pavement indicating a bike lane. However, when the road was resurfaced, the final lines were not repainted. I bike on this stretch of road 2-3 times a day for my commute to work and for recreational cycling. I often see cars who drive as if there is no lane and block the entire road/ have no idea that bikes have a dedicated lane. Are there planes to come through and repaint the bike lane here? Thank you.
Blocked Sidewalk

Sidewalk south of Dixie is full of multiply-cracked sections. Msybe put it on a to-be-replaced lost?
Also, easier to take care of: greenery is encroaching on the sidewalk; there's even a large branch there. Thanks!
Excessive Growth

The easement on the south side of E Winslow Road has become severely overgrown and the sidewalk is nearly inaccessible. It is not wide enough for people to pass by each other at this point without having to submerse yourself into the weeds.

Wasn't sure how to categorize this issue of cigarette litter. north sidewalk on Kirkwood, outside of Crazy Horse and Alley Bar. Patrons of these two businesses frequently litter their cigarettes onto the sidewalk, into the planter, into the drain, into the metal cage surrounding the pipes--without extinguishing them. It's pretty gross and also a fire hazard. And I'm guessing when the cigarettes go into that drain, they end up in Clear Creek, which isn't great for the environment (not that there aren't other issues affecting Clear Creek's cleanliness, but still).
I've noticed it for years, but I guess I only cared enough to write a UReport now. Because earlier this week I was walking my dog on that sidewalk, and someone flicked their cigarette onto the ground near me, and my dog must have thought it was a treat or a scrap of food because she tried to gobble it up. And I think it burnt her tongue a little because she was whining for the rest of the day.
Maybe we could get Crazy Horse and Alley Bar to set up cigarette receptacles so their patrons have a designated place to safely dispose of cigarettes?

I live at 837W 6th Street at the corer of W 6th and the 200 block of Waldron. There is a Maple tree on the City side of the sidewalk whose branches a hanging over the sidewalk such that walkers have to duck or go around as they walk by. It needs to be trimmed.
Thank you,

Hi, apologies if this isn’t the correct place for this, but I need to express my concern.
Over the last year or so, I’ve taken more of an interest in City Council meetings and have been watching them on CATS when I can.
I’ve noticed an odd…phenomenon(?). From what I’ve observed, council members more or less attack (sorry for lack of better term) city-hired consultants when they’re presented with information that they don’t agree with. Tonight’s community survey results being the latest example. It almost seemed like multiple members of council were suggesting that a firm be hired based on their ability to provide the data they preferred, rather than proven surveying methods. Again, this may just be me, but the aggressive questioning and more or less insulting of the “expert” was very off-putting. It happened with Hopewell presentations, too.
Why does council feel the need to attack and then soap box? Everything feels knee-jerk and emotion based. I just wish there was more level-headed, unbiased conversation in these meetings. Like, these are the people making decisions for their voters but so many of their speeches are about them personally and may mention constituents, but in a very flippant way (if that makes sense).
Anyway, it’s just concerning to me. These people are supposed to be representatives of the residents of Bloomington and therefore Bloomington itself, yet do not hesitate to make offensive comments to people hired to ultimately help the city become better. At what point does Bloomington just get the reputation of no one wanting to work with/for us because council is more or less abusive if they aren’t given information/data they agree with?
Sorry if this just comes off as a rant—I truly hope it finds its way to some welcoming ears and eyes. And maybe, just maybe, inspires some change. I will use my singular vote each election cycle and hope for the best, in the meantime.

Recently repaired hole in new Henderson pavement is already failing. The substrate has failed allowing pavement to collapse into it as it heats up. More than a simple patch is needed
Potholes, Other Street Repair

I submitted a request for street repairs on Azalea lane this Spring due to significant damage due to school traffic in the neighborhood, especially at the intersection of Azalea and Wylie Farm Road. This is the intersection where a lot of people turn on and off Azalea to go to Bloomington south. I received a response that there were plans to repave all of Azalea Ln this summer. It is now the end of summer and there has been no work on Azalea so I just wanted to check in on this. Thank you!
Thanks!

The sidewalks being lit up would be safer for pedestrians. The sidewalks are dark making it hard to see pedestrians about to step into the roadway. Just a little adjustment is all they need.
