On the north side of E Wylie Farm Rd between S Bayberry Dr and S Azalea Lane there is a wooden walkway within the 50' right-of-way that is very overgrown with Trees of Heaven and a lot of other plants. It is to the point where people are breaking off the tops of the trees in order to get through that part of the walkway. These are invasive plants and the City should do a better job at eliminating them or at least cutting them back. The Google streetview photo of that location dated July 2023 is attached along with current photos that show how the trees and other plants are taking over the walkway and that the tops of some of the trees have been broken off so that pedestrians can pass here. Please clear the area along this side of E Wylie Farm Rd as soon as possible. Thank you.

I live north of the roundabout at Tapp Rd and Adams St. Almost every time I am entering the roundabout from the north, I am almost hit by a car coming from the west. Vehicles habitually drive very quickly into the roundabout and don't yield to traffic already in the roundabout. I often end up having to stop in the roundabout to avoid a collision, which can also be a traffic hazard. It seems that area would benefit from a speed bump for those entering the roundabout - especially from the west as they are generally travelling the fastest when coming from the highway.

This is an all-way stop with marked stop signs and crosswalks. Unfortunately, many drivers (mostly on Winslow going East or West) do not stop at all. And there are quite a few that don't even slow down if they presume no vehicles are close enough to hit them for speeding through unabated. A few anemic attempts to place police near the intersection at haphazard intervals hasn't really had a beneficial impact. This intersection is very busy and is a frequent crossing for pedestrians and cyclists along with school children. I have seen other communities that have purchased solar powered flashing stop signs that significantly increase attention to the sign. Or, to monitor the scope of the issue, and maybe levy some tickets, can one of the mobile police observation hubs (I see them at the Seminary Square Kroger parking lot) be placed at the intersection. I don't ever feel safe coming any direction in or out of my own neighborhood. With all of the out of town students and faculty returning soon, the problem isn't going to get any better. This has been a pervasive issue for the roughly 8 years I've lived in this neighborhood.

on Rogers/Madison, where it changes name and crosses over the railroad tracks just north of 11th street, the bike lane is on the uphill side of the street. so at the apex, it switches from one side of the street to the other. at this switching point, we have lost our 'dashed line' merge zones. i am hoping that someone from Engineering will go look at the facts on the ground and validate its correctness. when it was conceptually designed back in 2011, i thought "gee they're gonna have to do a good job of signing that if it's not going to be a nightmare for cyclists to merge into traffic". and then when it was *finally* implemented around 2017-2019, it was just striped lines indicating that there is a merge. but when the bridge was re-decked in 2020-2021, they repainted it wrong. and subsequent generations of painting have each made it worse, to where the southbound merge zone is completely missing and cyclists are directed to stay in the abruptly-ending bike lane on the dangerous high speed downhill segment. and the northbound merge zone has been reduced to about 30 feet, again, at the wrong place for the merge.

There are 4 planters on this street that have overgrown bushes that need trimmed and maintained.

There is a round about on Summit Street and Cottage Grove. The roundabout is completely overgrown and is also covering up the drainage system. It's so high that when kids are riding their bikes and cars are coming around the corner, they almost get hit. It needs to be cut.

I am 62 years old, and this time last year I was just getting back to work after 3 1/2 months rest healing from a broken ankle. When I moved in to 1200 W 12th St, I noticed the sign (photo #1). I even asked Bloomington Housing Authority about it. They said it would be okay to park in front of my apartment. I have been parking in front of my apartment since March 2024. No tickets, no problems. It made it very easy to get to my apartment - load or unload my car - and I could keep an eye on it while in my apartment. Today I get home from work (I work full time at IU as a custodian. Yes - I work FULL TIME and still need Section 8 to get a place to live) to see fresh paint denying me my usual parking spot. I had an ADA tag for a while, but it was temporary. It expired. The problem is: I can’t see my car now unless I get up and look through the one window that lets me see my car. If I have to park farther away, I won’t be able to see it at all, and I will have to walk farther and across the street to access my car. I am old, diabetic, autistic and cannot walk a far as I could before the broken ankle. After work, it is very common for my right ankle to be aching on top of the Diabetic Neuropthy I have in both feet in addition to my jangled nerves from interacting with people and handling emergencies. This neighborhood can get a bit sketchy sometimes - it helped my normally high anxiety level to be able to see my car. My anxiety is already high from people walking so close to my apartment and cutting through my yard - can’t do anything about that so I live with that anxiety. I don’t want to break the law, but this is so unfair! I already pay $828 a month for this tiny apartment - that is ONE WHOLE PAYCHECK. My rent is figured as 30% of my GROSS income. I pay quite a bit for my taxes and Insurance, and I have quite a few medical issues so I have to scramble sometimes to get bills paid and pay for all the drugs I have to take. I live paycheck to paycheck. I have to work so I have health Insurance. Even though I am 62, I can’t get Social Security if I want to live here because it would price me out of Section 8 and I would have to move (AGAIN - I just moved in here a year and a half ago). I can’t work less because i need Insurance from work until I reach 65 and can get Medicare (if it still exists by then). If I have to park further away, then my ankle will be that much more achy when I get home. I’m going to see if maybe I can qualify for a permanent ADA Tag, but even then the 4 HOUR LIMIT would kick me in the butt. That doesn’t even take into account bad weather days or having to walk farther with loads. Where I am currently parked in photo #7 would be a better ADA space. Usually no one parks there, and it is closer to the Boys and Girls Club. Please help me.

Mike Frey - 317-727-3371 Mike is the owner of Bub's on the corner of 9th Street and N. Morton. The last parking spot on 9th street before you hit Morton has been turned in to a handicap space. According to Mike this space is on a hefty incline that was once riddles with pot holes. He stated that it is smooth, but that it is not an accessible space by any means being on a hill. He would like someone to reach out to him. Thank you!
