There has been a "One Lane Road Ahead" sign on the sidewalk in front of our house for at least a week. Yesterday it was moved from the sidewalk into our front yard. There is no road lane reduction ahead, so this sign should be removed.
ATT just installed fiber for my neighbor. They tapped the power/utility line directly in front of my house to do so and strung a low hanging fiber line across my yard to the neighbors house. Its less than 15ft off the ground, dangles over a tree I just planted in my yard that will absolutely cause issues for the install (considering it doesn't get yanked out by a car driving under it). Please have them take this down before it causes an accident.
ATT just installed fiber access for my neighbor. They tapped the line that passes in front of my property and just hung a wire in the middle of the air over my yard. its probably less than 15ft off the ground over my neighbors driveway. Maybe slightly higher in my yard, directly over a tree I planted that will within a year or two become a nuisance for this half-baked install (considering it doesn't get yanked down by a car immediately). It looks like trash and is a hazard. Please have them remove/redo.
Construction signage fully blocking pedestrian right-of-way forcing walkers to step out into traffic on a very busy road with no shoulder.

TO: City of Bloomington City Council, Bloomington Engineering Department, Bloomington Planning Department RE: Placement of No Parking signs in the Matlock Heights Neighborhood COMPLAINT: The City of Bloomington has imposed an unneeded restriction. This restriction imposes a 24/7/365 ban on parking in my neighborhood and on the street in front of my house. The only days there is any parking problem at all is during football games with the top attendance. This complete ban to cover a handful of gamedays is extreme. In my personal case, no parking means that I have to park across the street and down aways, because across the street from me is an intersection. No parking there. And a fire hydrant. A driveway. No parking there. This means I have to cross the street with every load of groceries or anything I am bringing into my house, making it way more inconvenient and way more dangerous. I have been told that the fire department enforced this plan because when cars are parked on both sides of the street, emergency vehicles can’t get through. I want to point out that the residents in the neighborhood rarely park on the street. Everyone has at least a driveway, if not some kind of covered parking. The problem of cars parking on both sides of the street does not exist, except on those few game days.
Adding a no parking sign is even worse than not having one. There is already a terrible parking situation for the residents at Atlas on 17th. Bloomington’s parking situation is terrible and students are forced to park wherever and hope they aren’t getting a ticket. At least make it a pay to park so that some could still park there.
Requesting autistic child area signs. We live at the corner of Sheffield and Park Ridge, the stop sign is frequently ran. My son is 11 and has autism. He is non verbal and a high risk for elopement. My hope is these signs would slow drivers down and encourage them to stop should my son ever elope.
The cross walk at the b-line extension and Switchyard Park crossing Walnut is wickedly dangerous. Miscommunication between drivers and pedestrians (and cyclists) is too easy, and someone could be easily killed. I’ve almost been hit by cars there on three separate occasions when I had a go light and cars raced through the intersection anyways. In fact, the signs entice cars through a red light signal if they don’t see crossers. I’m happy to report the specific dangers if asked, but I wanted to log the complaint before and not after someone was killed. In all my years, I’ve never seen such poor and dangerous planning in the name of safety. Please convert the crossing to something more conventional so cars know what to do.
New speed bump is extremely harsh even at very low speeds. Throws the car and driver around very aggressively
