This curb and drain is improperly placed. In order to turn right out of Bittner Woods, you have to drive into the other lane of traffic (headed to the Sare rd load) to avoid running into the land. You’ll see how dug out it is that many people try to avoid driving into the other lane of traffic but then bottom out. This past Wednesday morning I also saw the Bloomington Trash truck exiting in the neighborhood in the entrance lane, I assume to avoid the same issue. We would appreciate if the curb and drain could be reworked to allow a safer exit from the neighborhood. Thank you!
702 E Maxwell. Tree branch over sidewalk
This is an abandoned building right behind the Extra Space Storage facility on Gourley Pike. When pulling out of here, you can hardly see left or right due to overgrown grass and trees blocking the line of sight
Resident called in to complain about the location of a dumpster that has been parked beside their residence for approximately 2 months. Problems related to the dumpster location precipitated after IU students began move-in activities earlier this month. The resident has not been able to reliably utilize sanitation services because the dumpster obstructs access for sanitation vehicles. Sanitation has issued warnings to the resident for trash build-up, but the resident does not control the dumpster and has requested help to remediate the problem.
Tree limb hanging in roadway
There is a pothole that is forming on the side street at 822 W. 1st Street. It recently formed and had a pretty big cavity underneath it. Enough to cause damage if people keep driving on it and it erodes.
There is a full tree right in front of Arby’s east, along E 3rd Street. This tree blocks westbound traffic from view (from the driveway just to the west) until they are too close.
I live at the corner of W 3rd and Jackson Sts. There is a "traffic calming" device at the west end of the intersection. Another car just struct the curb with some damage today. Last Friday evening two cars struck the device. A week or so ago a Bloomington Police Car struct the curb and blew a tire. This is a common occurrence day and night, on a daily basis. Recently a crew repainted the curb yellow and glued on reflectors. The reflectors were soon scrubbed off by cars hitting the curbs. The curb needs a visible warning at eye-level that drivers can see. They obviously do not see the curb below their eye level. The new yellow paint curb has been hit so many times it is already black with tire rubber. Thanks.
Drivers are going too fast here and sometimes not seeing the stop signs, specifically going north on mitchell. I have witnessed two collisions and this calls for improved visibility of the stop sign or some other form of traffic calming. Many people, including kids, bike through this intersection and are vulnerable.
