2nd email, NOTHING has been done in 4 weeks. 3 handicap people in neighborhood and can't walk because people will not trim the tree limbs and bushes. The sidewalk runs parallel to N.Kinser Pike and around the corner to W. Acuff. Ranges from 1102 W. Yellowwood Court , up to 1126 thru 1158 W.Sugarberry Court. THIS NEEDS TO GET DONE.
This gigantic pine tree is at the corner of Thornton and Oxford Sts and blocks driving view on both sides.
I have noticed when walking in the 1800 block of E. Maxwell Lane and specifically in front of 1803 E Maxwell Lane there are tree branches that hang low over the street and cars brush against it on the road and it makes a scrapping noise. Can this be addressed please. Thanks.
The stop signs along 7th got taken out over the summer and number of car accidents at the corner of 7th and Dunn has risen considerably. I get what you're going for with the straight shot through to campus, but I would appreciate if you'd reevaluate if it's worth it specifically at this one intersection. At first I thought people would get used to it and accidents would slow down, but this has not been the case. This spring the number of accidents has been RISING and there have been THREE ACCIDENTS in the last 48 hours. The sickening sound of crumping automobile plastic, going out to worry about injuries on the part of the involved parties, and having traffic stopped in front of my house on a weekly basis has made living here substantially worse. I think part of the problem is that this intersection REALLY looks like it should have a 4 way stop, and this can be seen by the frequency of drivers unnecessarily stopping on 7th, assuming they have a stop. Also, heading South on Dunn the turn is almost completely blind to the left and cars traveling quickly down 7th are given almost no chance to stop.
7th and Dunn and 7th and Indiana have become absolutely terrifying since the bike lanes were installed. The main issue is on 7th and Dunn St: without a four way stop, it is very dangerous to travel on Dunn St. people do not check for bikes/scooters in their right-away lane, which leads to countless near accidents. I live on Dunn, and it often takes nearly 5 minutes to get out of this intersection, due to the heavy traffic which comes from the Indiana and 7th intersection. I have witnessed major accidents at both of these intersections. At 7th and Indiana, the stop line (on 7th) is so far back that cars on Indiana street cannot see the stopped cars on 7th until they themselves are stopped. This leads to confusion/road rage from the cars on Indiana when they think those traveling on 7th didn’t come to a complete stop. 4 way stop sign should be reinstated on 7th and Dunn Intersection, and something needs to be done to improve vision on 7th and Indiana.
Starting the 7th Street Bikeway project is great. I hope we have lots of low-traffic thoroughfares in twon some day. But finish what you started on Allen Street. There is no signs, no flashing beacons, no paint. Nothing that designates the street a low and slow traffic area. Cars drive way faster now with the "improvements" then they did with the hodgepodge pilot. Put some signs up. Paint the street. Put some flashers at the Washington St intersection and the Henderson St intersection. Allen is not finished.
Today I was almost killed by a motorist on the 7th St. bike trail. There needs to be signage for the motorists. Too many out of town drivers on a regular basis to think it can be a learned infrastructure!
In the alley adjacent to Bloomington Center for Global Children at 1111 North Walnut Street, traffic often travels both ways. As a parent who picks up a young child there, I am keenly aware of the danger presented by a two way alley adjacent to a child care center. I am requesting that this alley be made one way with traffic control as well, as the traffic traveling north on Walnut street presents another danger to those individuals turning west into the alley next to the center.
2 years weed overgrowth on city property blocks the view of my parents driveway at 918 west 2nd street Bloomington in He’s a disabled veteran with declining health. I do no wish him to be killed simply for pulling out onto second street due to weeds blocking the view of the road! We have complained before and it keeps happening! Please enforce!
There is desperate need for a crosswalk/stop signs in front of E Graham Pl., on Henderson St. There is a bus stop across the street and people obviously need to cross to get to it, but the cars don’t ever slow down and it is extremely hazardous getting to the bus stop. Please help, thanks.
