There is a cable that is attached to a couple of concrete or limestone blocks on the Westside of the old Smith Holden music store which face Morton Street just north of W. Kirkwood. There was also a large dumpster sitting a few feet to the North of the cable…the cable was very low to the ground and barely visible as it blended in with the surface beneath it…I tripped and fell (8/14) sustaining an injury and went to the Hospital Emergency room…Today (8/22), I noticed that the dumpster had been removed and the cables had what appeared to be fairly long orange horizontal noodles that had recently been placed around the cable…this injury could and should have been avoided had proper precautions been in place….I want to know who was responsible for putting these obstacles in place without proper or adequate warnings…I was told this is private property and would like to get the contact information for the present owner of the building or their representative…and hopefully insure that at least some signage can be put in place to close off access to this area so no one else is injured.
2nd & Rogers, heading south on Rogers -- people are idiotically going straight from the left turn lane. The lanes on Rogers south of 2nd were shifted for construction, and people have decided this means they should use the left turn lane to go straight. This morning, 3 cars went straight from the left turn lane, cutting off straight traffic from the straight/right lane at the light. People are just going through the intersection straight from the left lane with total disregard to the lane they are in and how common sense and logic work. Sit a cop out there and you can write tickets all day long. Put up some better signs with the construction to keep people using the proper lanes. Accidents are waiting to happen.
This is on the S Sheridan side of house. Residents have been trimming vegetation and leaving large bundles lying in middle of road, forcing southbound traffic into northbound lane. This has been going on for over a week.
Vegetation is blocking half of the southbound bicycle lane, which was already too narrow.
Turning from Dixie to the right onto S Rogers is difficult, because a couple of spruce in the corner yard block the view.
Speed limit sign is needed before a child walking to school is killed by the unchecked speeders. Especially an individual in a blue suv,DLD596. I was told last time I asked rhe city ,that signs dont work,but noticed that xity employee has a speed limit sign right in front of his house
I work in Luddy Hall on the IU Campus. I have an ADA sticker for my car. The only ADA parking close to the southside of the building in on the west side of Myles Brank Hall behind Luddy. The City of Bloomington has timed parking along the south side of Luddy on Cottage Grove. It would benefit me to have at least one or preferably two of those parking spaces issued for drivers with a disabled license. This building has no parking on the other three sides. I'm 71 years old with major health issues and we have elderly and/or disabled family members come to Luddy also, especially in inclement weather when there is more possibility of falls. Thank you for your consideration. You are welcome to contact our ADA representative at IU, Frank Epperson at fepperso@iu.edu He is also aware of the situation.
