We were told by the crew that created the sidewalk on Sare Road that our hill on that side of our fence would be no-mow foliage or no-mow grass. It is currently as long as the other side of the new sidewalk. It is not safe for us to mow it with only having a zero-turn mower. How can we get it switched to the no-mow foliage we were told would be planted?
Crossing needed at 7th and North Union. Or stop sign or something to allow bikes to safely Criss to campus. Is a bike lane and Greenway, need to be safe to actually bike
What is wrong with the City transportation people! We already have the worst traffic in Bloomington. Absolutely DO NOT eliminate the one ways of Atwater college etc. to create slow and jammed skinny streets without any alternatives. Biking is great and so is walking but we all can't afford to live 200 feet from work and school and some of us must get across town. Neighborhoods are great but Bloomington can't be one giant one with zero arterials. That is crazy. We need several large and frankly expanded arteriajs to get across town in both directions. And then if you want to have slow and multi use webbing that is great. But we still need major trafficways. Stop killing or economy and time by creating logjams. Please please keep two lane roads. Also with the new construction for students miles from campus in the East there better be a plan to keep them from jamming things up. We need a healthy third or other east/west large and speedy road all the way through town. The same with North south options. Stop catering to white liberal privilege of folks with enough money and time to buy a downtown historic home and take their electric bike to work. That isn't the reality of working people.
Is there any way to lower Greenway speed limits to 20? We've been having speeding, including at night, and not sure if it may help at all as we await hopeful calming structural improvements. Thank you!
The street lights need to be reangled or shielded so the light shines only onto the intersection and stops blinding the houses at the intersection. The light on the southwest corner is particularly bad due to the height of the land and the angle of the light. We issued several complaints when the intersection was re-done and nothing has ever been done. The light pollution is terrible at this intersection and there is no reason it should be brighter than even Walnut and Winslow. Please install light shields to angle the lighting properly.
Heading east or west on 2nd street/bloominfield rd. The intersection at Adams is really out of hand. East and west always has a red light which builds up traffic while adams north and south rarely has a single car pass. In addition the light at patterson and 2nd heading east and west is always missed timed with the light at adams. When adams goes green heading east, patterson goes red. Please please help or at least respond via email and give a reason as to why these are so poorly timed.
The intersection on 17th Street and College avenue. The stoplight where you turn left on College Avenue, the left turn signal is about a second long giving no time for cars to turn left.
trees and bushes obstruct view at Highland and Azalea lane. Sorry, I previously submitted report and erronously typed Azalea and Keri Marie. Highland was what I meant (runs past YMCA and Bloomington Learning Center)
Several trees on east side of Park Ridge East by commercial buildings along sidewalk are overgrown and not only prevent pedestrians from walking on sidewalk but pedestrians trying to cross Park Ridge toward Hagan are unable to see traffic going north on Park Ridge. Trees need to be trimmed.
tree limbs are covering the stop sign at the intersection
