Large, deep, dangerous pothole by crosswalk, at 6th and Walnut, across 6th from Samira restaurant.
Shrubs on SW corner of intersection of Walnut and 11th make it difficult to see Walnut Street northbound traffic while waiting on 11th to turn left (north) onto Walnut.
Homeless on the way to work. Every morning I drive north on Walnut from the south-side of Bloomington. As I approach town around 7:45ish. It is a typical sight these days to feel like I'm in a zombie apocalypse. Homeless people are often wandering around with grubby blankets draped around themselves. Recently there has been in increase of "stuff" around a tree in Seminary Park. Today took the cake. It appeared that lots of the "stuff" migrated to the opposite side of the street. Amidst the pile of grubby blankets someone was asleep next to the trash can about two inches from cars whizzing by. This next to Sahara Mart. Someone all cuddled up sleeping basically in the morning traffic. Please help our community to stop being the epicenter of homeless destinations! My empathy is wearing thin. It appears that many of these people are "career" homeless. It's getting ridiculous, not to mention the chaos as I drive by the Shalom Center. There is often some type of show with people falling off the curb into the streets. Many of these people visibly appear to be under the influence or suffering a mental illness. This is NOT what I would want to see if I were exploring safe communities to send my family member to college. Please save this community.
Gravel all over road. Needs cleaned up
Traffic light is no longer synched correctly. Stays green a long time with no cars in that lane.
Can the concrete block retaining wall be repaired at the intersection of SR 46 at 2700 East Third Street & College Mall Road? Since at least mid-2018, it has been damaged. Blocks have fallen, earth is exposed, and general rebuild and cleanup needs to occur. It appears that this damage was a result of a motor vehicle accident. Here's the response I received from INDOT on this inquiry: "...this would be the responsibility of the city or county, as INDOT only goes to the curb in city limits."
A block or so east of the intersection of 17th & Walnut, there is this overgrown bush that forces walkers into the street. Also, the speed limit sign has been vandalized with spray paint.
The signals are no longer synced properly. You can see the next signal turn red as yours turns green. Backwards.
We have a pothole at the entrance to our Salvation Army parking lot on Rogers st. I think it's close enough to the street that it's city property.
Good afternoon. I believe it is necessary to put up additional signs at the traffic circle on Jordan by Reed Hall. My understanding is that, at least in Indiana, the law is that vehicles entering a traffic circle are required to yield to traffic already in the circle. I have been nearly hit by several vehicles, including city buses, that do not even slow down when entering the circle, much less yield. I have also seen vehicles turning the wrong way out of Reed Hall when they want to go south on Jordan. If I'm mistaken, and this traffic circle is governed by some other rule, please, please let me know so that I can avoid being hit by a vehicle with the right of way, but otherwise, it's critical that additional signage is placed there to avoid the inevitable wreck.
