Biking & Walking
1200-1298 E Hillside Dr, Bloomington, Indiana, 47401

On August 27, a bicyclist came down Olive Street, which is a city bike lane, and flew into traffic in front of my truck. It was raining and I slammed on my brakes but it was too late and I hit him with my truck. The man who is a teacher at IU ended up with two spinal fractures, a horribly broken leg and a concussion. He was at fault but if you take a look at that hill it is very steep. I think his brakes locked up and he hydroplaned into the road. There was busy traffic going both ways on Hillside. This happened at 8:35 AM in the rain in front of a school bus from Templeton. I live in the Arden neighborhood and we walk our children to school at Harmony often. There is NO CROSSWALK anywhere between High Street and Henderson Street. It makes me nervous to try and send my kids to school on bikes or even let them walk. I hope that there maybe something that could be done at that intersection in the form of a sign or flashing light and some paint across the street to make people aware that bicyclist maybe crossing there. As I was going down Hillside today, I saw another bicyclist shoot out across the road from Olive up to Weatherstone. I think the bicyclist don’t always know how steep that hill is and you can’t really see the traffic on Hillside until you are at the bottom of it. I was 8 months pregnant on my way to a OB appt at 8:35 when this wreck accured. Traffic was very heavy and everyone was going the speed limit. Even though he was at fault in the eyes of the law, this accident ruined his life I’m sure. I really dont want any stop signs on hillside but like I said, some kind of cross walk might be smart since there is a park and a school within a block of this incident. Thank you

Traffic on Bloomfield Road (2nd Street) is backed up for about a mile heading out of town (traffic backed up past Landmark) & a half-mile coming in to town (backed up to 37), all waiting on the light at the Sportsplex/apartment complex The traffic light is only giving people on Bloomfield road about 5-10 seconds to get through the light, while the green light for people exiting the Sportsplex lasts about 30-40 seconds - but there's nobody going in or out of the Sportsplex! Could somebody PLEASE take a look at the program/timing of this traffic light?

There is a hole at the curb at the end our adjoining driveways, 1202 and 1208 E 1st. This has developed after the attempted temporary fix which was made after attempting to find the source of a water leak. This was made during the installation of Gigabit now. It is 17 inches deep and when covered with leaves, not visible. Please fix this to prevent damage to our cars.

This trailer has been left on my property since June. I have contacted my rental company, Sarge, as well as Duke and Gigabitnow to see who it belongs to. I have not found out where it came from. This is a student property with a parking lot behind for over twenty cars. It is taking up space and we residents have to sometimes park on the street, risking a ticket. Please contact me on how I can get this removed.
