City Performance

320 W 8th ST

Case Date:
4/22/2020

I knew Longview and Pete Ellis were getting some apartments built in that lot, but apparently it is going to be more than usually allowed? I am SUPER concerned that you're going to be packing extra students (almost all will have cars) on a road that is NOT designed for heavy traffic but SUPPOSEDLY a bike path for bikes. It might be great, but what are the extra precautions taking place to ensure students zipping in and out won't disrupt the greenway and kill cyclists? Hoping some will be cyclists, but realistically there is going to be a lot of in and out speedy traffic there for what was a very calm road fantastic for biking. Want to make sure it's not overlooked. Also, anything big built east of College is going to experience major backup on rush hour times at College and 3rd. I know it's a state intersection but the city needs to look into it and factor in the ability of that intersection to take on more traffic. Something needs to change there. It literally clogs (outside of a pandemic) constantly with left turn traffic from 3rd turning south to College, which block eastbound 3rd street. Time and again. Part of the problem is it clogs at the next light (the city's I would imagine) by Fazoli's as the lights aren't coordinated well if at all. So two concerns: not a bad place to live, including for students - way better than century village hotel, but make sure the bike path remains safe! This can't be presumed. That area will change big time and cyclists need reassurance. And 2) light at 3rd and College is going to be negatively impacted and timing or something needs to be looked at there. The east/west greenway I was hoping was going to be getting ENHANCEMENTS in the next year or two, not becoming a motorist highway :( Thank you.

Potholes, Other Street Repair

1302 N Kinser PIKE

Case Date:

There is construction on the corner of 17th and Rogers. The construction company cut across the road and the gravel they put down has been reduced and there is a big bump. It's been like that for 2 weeks. If they could add more gravel it would be helpful until they complete a patch. Weddle Brothers is the construction company.

Biking & Walking

120 S Park Ridge RD

Case Date:
6/3/2020

I'm very concerned about the new surfacing on E. 3rd by the State, but I know the City supported it. I know there was not going to be a physical barrier at this point but did think the bike lanes would at least by wide. Please please make sure they are wider than the ones on N. Smith or very very few will feel safe using them. I supported the project as thought it would give me a biking option, but I'm fearful now it'll just be slimmer roads and no real bikable upgrade. Thanks for any input you can give the State!

Temporary Signage w/o permit

112 E 12th ST

Case Date:
6/15/2020

Griffin Realty "For Sale" sign has been placed in the City right-of-way in front of this house. Company has been contacted about the issue, but they have hitherto arrogantly dismissed the situation. Sign should be located on south side of sidewalk on the actual property being offered for sale, not in the City right-of-way that makes the sign visible for several blocks.

Our tenants are having trouble seeing to the left of the stop sign @ Eastgate LN & SR 46. There's quite a bit of overgrowth on that sidewalk area limiting the visibility.

Temporary Signage w/o permit

3035 N Ramble RD W

Case Date:

There is a Trump/Pence sign on the city easement at the corner of Ramble Road East and Lakewood Avenue. If I understand the ordinance correctly, it does not have a right to be there.

Traffic Related Complaints

748 N Oolitic DR

Case Date:
7/27/2020

Nope, Public Works was wrong. Drivers exiting from the rear of Union at Crescent aren't going out 14th. They are going to W. 11th via N. Oolitic. Since that exit opened, traffic on Oolitic has tripled and they don't all come down the hill heading South at a kid-safe speed. Thanks for upgrading the infrastructure before development, Hamilton.

121 S Smith RD

Case Date:
8/8/2020

Submitted a report but didn't show up in the system? Someone is going to die, likely multiple, if changes aren't made to Smith and 3rd. New 3rd by the State is great but has caused something to change with the Smith traffic. Left turners are hesitating backing up traffic (no big deal) but they are hesitating because cars behind them are zipping around going straight while folks are trying to wait and turn. Meaning the folks can't turn safely, and when they do POW crashes like tonight at 7 pm happen. Please do a traffic study and coordinate with the State for immediate safety improvement. Please do not punt this to the State, but be involved, as Bloomingtonions are going to die; forget traffic, this is about safety. Ideally there needs to be a left turn green arrow only and then a straight signal but that may need lanes. So I don't know the solution, but cars zipping around hitting left turners, etc. is NOT sustainble.

702 1/2 N Fairview ST

Case Date:

Several months ago a vehicle drove into and knocked down a light pole on the opposite corner. Due to that, there have been metal cables coiled up on the corner of 11th and Fairview. Now they have fallen into the right of way of the sidewalk. This is dangerous and I respectfully ask that it be fixed. Thank you.
