Hello, my child is a student at Ivy Tech Bloomington and has classes in two Ivy Tech locations that are across the street from each other on Liberty Dr. The concern is that she (and many students who don't have cars) must cross Liberty Dr at very busy times during the day to reach her next class, changing buildings. Please ensure there is School signage and a stop sign on Liberty Drive across the 2 Ivy Tech buildings so that the pedestrians/students can safely cross Liberty Dr when attending classes. The addresses of the 2 buildings are 1907 Liberty Dr, Bloomington, IN 47403 and 2100 Liberty Dr, Bloomington, IN 47403. Thank you.

Greetings,
I couldn't get the mayor to comment directly on the following via the Ask the Mayor program on WFIU, perhaps your dept can comment?
Downtown and near downtown main streets are
becoming a maze of hazardous patched sections,
uneven pavement, road projects without final paving (roundabout
at Arlington Road) and wear and tear that is not being attended
to. I have my doubts that the Street Dept is at fault here but here
is what I have observed as a lifelong resident who notices things.
Due to the recent explosion of downtown building, contractors tear up
our downtown streets, often major thoroughfares in order to connect to
utilities, etc. They further damage the street with huge pieces of machinery
needed for the construction. They finish the project and then cheap out on
really repairing the damage to the street that was often in fine condition
prior to them tearing it up. Then all the citizens have is a street that will kill
their tires, struts and rattle their teeth as well as possibly causing accidents.
They leave it up to the city to spend the huge $$$ to really fix the road
correctly. The contractors and builders have no right to destroy our streets
that WE pay taxes to keep in excellent condition. We should not have to
wait for a scheduled road project when the road in question carries
thousands of cars and other vehicles a day. This type of damage
is very obvious at the northern apex of Walnut and College Avenues.
Just patching the potholes and bumps and uneven surfaces is NOT enough.
It seems that the streets that are getting paved and kept in the best
condition in Bloomington are those who live in exclusive additions
off these roads and all they had to do was to jiggle the ringer on the
mayor’s cell phone and voila! the street is smooth as a baby’s bottom.
Could you comment on my observations and what can be done?
