Blocked Street

604 N Staats DR

Case Date:
8/16/2022

The corner of Post Rd as you're approaching Staats on the right hand side is so overgrown with trees cars cannot be in the right lane. We walk to school with our daughter and have often had to get out of the way of traffic b/c this road is effectively 1 lane at the moment. 2 homes, the one at the corner of Staats and Post and the one at the corner of post and "Hollywood" both have shrubs/trees that impede traffic/walkers and make it even more dangerous than it should be. If the owners aren't willing to change this landscaping the city should have the ability to cut considering that the shrubs are covering no less than 3 ft into the street. This is dangerous for cars, walkers, and bike riders in the neighborhood. MUST BE ADDRESSED.

Abandoned Vehicle

Case Date:
8/17/2015

There is a bicycle at the North West corner of the intersection of 1st and Fess streets that appears to be abandoned. The rear wheel is bent such that it appears to be inoperable and it has been locked to the sign post at that location for a few weeks now. Thank you for your assistance in removing this abandoned bicycle! :)

910 S Grant ST

Case Date:
7/17/2023

Hello! I want to report that there is a lot of poison ivy at the NW corner of S Grant and E Allen St, 47401. This is right along the edge of the street on S Grant. We live at 909 S Grant, just up the hill, with two small kiddos, so we're constantly stressed out about balls, etc, rolling across the street and down into the poison ivy patches. I think this is technically right of way/city property if it is this close to the street? Not sure. I remember seeing in the past somewhere to report poison ivy, but now can't find it, so I'm just reporting it under misc and other. If there is any kind of city program to come remove poison ivy, I'd love to see it happen at that corner. There is a ton of ivy growing up a light post on that corner as well, some of it along the bottom might be poison ivy, not all of it is (that is mostly virginia creeper? something like that - the 5 leaf variety.)

Traffic Signals

IU Maurer School of Law, 211 S Indiana Ave, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA

Case Date:
7/18/2023

So I've talked to you guys before about this issue how you guys have the timing for the traffic lights set up and of course you know you guys basically said all their set correctly but here's the issue all over town and multiple times a day I have to travel various places in town for my job. And you guys have the signaling set up to where you come to a stop at one red light and it goes green and the very second you arrived the next stoplight doing the speed limit it turns red it's really bad on West 3rd Street but specifically the portion of town that I have to drive through half dozen times a day from Miller Street to 2nd Street you literally have to stop every single traffic light because you guys have set the traffic signaling to make you stop at the red light. Having lived a lot of different places this is something that's very unique to Bloomington you know I'm sure you're going to tell me that's the way it's supposed to be which in turn means that you just wanted to turn people from driving but it's straight bullshit on a busy road like that that northbound traffic or southbound traffic you guys have it set that way West 3rd Street you literally have people having to stop in the intersection because you guys want to play games!! Yeah it's funny because when I called the mayor's office they acknowledged that the timings were messed up but said they would defer to you people

Traffic Signals

This would be my fifth email to you guys and it would also be number six in the times that I've been almost hit rear-ended because people are trying to race through the lights over on West 3rd Street around Eastland plaza . Since you guys have decided to set the signaling for the lights so once one light goes green and you travel to the next light that's just invisible sight it turns red so you have to stop again but if you guys got out of the office come over here and you can actually see what a mess you're creating all over town it's like this. There's zero logic behind this I can understand the lights through downtown making you slow down but we're not downtown nor are the other lights throughout the city that you guys have set up like this I hope one of your cars get hit and then maybe you douchebags will come fix it

Biking & Walking

300 N Walnut St, Bloomington, IN 47404, USA

Case Date:

Please, would you replace the flexi-post on the 7-Line on the east side of Walnut next to La Una Cantina? The IU residential calendar has early arrivals starting August 2nd, so I think it would be a good idea to get it replaced before then. Thank you!

There are two lamp post lights out on the south BLine trail. One at post 10 and the other at post BL27. It poses a safety risk when the area is not well lit. Thank you for fixing this issue.

Parks & Playgrounds

1000 S Henderson ST

Case Date:
8/10/2023

While visiting Bryan Park on 8/9, I observed mowing with a gas engine lawn mower of grass already at a very low height. Greenhouse gas emissions are a concern from unnecessary mowing, and the area being mowed was very large. For a city with a sustainability office, one would expect either the use of electric lawn equipment and/or mowing only when necessary. Please consider training staff to mow using environmentally friendly practices.

Potholes, Other Street Repair

639 S Rogers St, Bloomington, IN 47403, USA

Case Date:
8/16/2023

major pothole that is a hazard for drivers, especially motorcycles. A man called Mayor's office saying it needs to be fixed today or at least signage warning people of the hole. Says that he will hold us liable if someone gets hurt now that we have been informed.
