There is a giant machine outside out my apartment for construction work. It is the week before finals and it starts making one of the loudest noises I have ever heard at 7 am. It’s ridiculous and don’t see why they can’t start at 9.
Bull dozer came through my drive way and damaged drive way and lawn.
Bulldozer came to my back yard and damage my drive way and lawn. I will provide a photo of bull dozer in next post.
This construction thing I believe to hold a sign is blocking the sidewalk by the handicap space.
I witnessed a type of "crash" at the corner of 7th Street and Morton. The driver was headed north on Morton, stopped at the stop sign, then turned right/east onto 7th Street but the driver first tried to pull into the bike lane, then at the last second hit the bike lane barrier so hard it sounded like a terrible crash. The driver/car lost a couple of large pieces of the car on 7th Street. There needs to be better signage especially for cars driving NORTH, turning EAST onto 7th Street.
Since the end of the construction on 17th St, a crosswalk sign along with its pole has been lying on the ground. Several times, because it was an obstacle on the sidepath, I moved it to the side. The crosswalk is over 17th St just east of N Arlington Park Dr. It has curb cuts for a cross walk while it's not painted in the street. The sign should be either put up or taken away.
Left turn backups continue to get worse from Smith and 10
The road/sidewalk construction crew sprayed concrete on my car as I was driving down the street. I assume they were cleaning out the cement truck, but ended up spraying the hose as I drove by splattering my car with cement and rocks. I think it will all wipe off and not harden on the car, but I'm not exactly happy about it or having to clean it up.
Kirby Alley is tagged as a street in the City's GIS system and this appears to be a mistake. It shows up in the City's street centerline product published on the City's data portal. For planning, streets this close to downtown would have sidewalks, but alleys do not. This is also a traffic issue. Having this alley tagged as a street means that Google Maps (shown in image) and other software will give driving directions down the alley, which is usually not intended or desired for pass-through traffic.
I live at 2206 S Rockport Road in Bloomington. Our mailbox post is on the sidewalk, and needs to be replaced. I plan to hire a contractor to install a new post, which may require digging into the sidewalk to remove the old post and install the new one. Of course the contractor will do a proper patching job on the sidewalk. Do I need any special permission to proceed with this project? Many thanks.
