Bus stop on N Illinois St across from Illinois Court in Crestmont badly needs no parking signs and painted curbs that indicate the length of the bus. People in wheelchairs cannot access the lift, and people are having to walk out into the road to catch the bus. It's on a hill and the parked vehicles effect visibility of oncoming bus, and you can't see any cars coming that might be in front of the bus. Oncoming traffic has to come to a complete stop, now, because the bus has trouble squeezing through. Sometimes, the bus has to just sit and wait. There's a concrete slab that connects the sidewalk with the road the bus driver can no longer lower the wheelchair lift onto because of the cars. The units there were empty, but now they are being rented, and the no parking sign that used to be there is gone. We need a painted curb the length of a bus, and clear markings. We also need parking enforcement to actually do their job when we call, but there's no sign there telling people not to park. The people who park there are mean and told me I should walk to work (and called me fat and lazy,) instead of taking public transportation when I have surgery coming up. I can’t even have a reasonable conversation with them, so I'm turning to you. Thank you.

There is a bench with a bus stop on N Illinois St across from N Illinois CT where the playground is always blocked by parked vehicles now that the no parking sign has gone missing. The bus can't pull over to the curb where there is concrete connecting the sidewalk so people in wheelchairs and with crutches can safely get on the bus' lift system. You have to walk out into the road now, and can't see the bus very well or other cars coming. Traffic coming from the other way has to come to a complete stop, now, when the bus comes through. When I politely asked the people parking there if they could leave enough room for the bus to pull over because I'm about to have surgery and be in a wheelchair to get to work, they called me fat and told me to walk as they were getting out of their parked vehicles, and they were very mean for no reason. We all live in public housing here, and I use public transportation for work. We also don't have any grocery stores close and have to take a bus to get food. We need no parking signs at our bus stops, and painted curbs showing people the width of the bus on N Illinois, and possibly the one attending corner of Lindbergh Dr and whatever that cross street is as well. Now that those remodeled units are becoming occupied, there will always be cars there unless we get No Parking signs for our bus stops. Thank you.

There is a hydrant with a big mound of dirt adjacent to it and snow fencing surrounding it completely. This is at 9th and Fairview. This seems like a hazard. It looks to be part of the city’s fiber projectI

AITA? For the 3rd time in 3 years: can I ask that we move the southbound bus stop sign on High at Breenbriar 30 ft to the north, out of the grass next to the drainage culvert, and to a location that allows passengers to exit the rear of the BT bus without the danger of falling into the unrepaired sinkholes next to the culvert? If the bus stops earlier (30 ft north), the passengers that exit the bus to the rear (as required) step off near the sidewalk and not in the middle of a grassy easement with a LARGE SINKHOLE next to the culvert. Why - oh why, is this so hard? When the bus stops at the correct location it doesn't even block Greenbriar traffic onto High. Sorry for the snark, but again Bloomington this is the third request in 3 years. Just move the sign north 30 ft.

Hello, I am writing to inquire about whether the sidewalk on the east side of S. Jackson St. between 3rd and 4th streets can be repaired. As a person with a visual impairment, I have a terrible time walking on the sidewalk in this location, which is in the block where my house is. The sidewalk is very uneven, with tripping hazards throughout its course due to decay. If I didn't have a visual impairment, it would certainly be easier to walk on this part of the sidewalk, but I know that others with no visual impairment also have a difficult time because of the deteriorated surface. Thank you.

City owned parcels on West cottage Grove east of Monroe Street are overgrown and obstructing sidewalk passage. This is the only sidewalk and poison ivy and brush make it difficult to navigate. There's a tree marked for removal that needs addressed before it causes injury or property damage. This has been reported before.
