Potholes, Other Street Repair

Case Date:
9/20/2017

Alleyway between The Atlas and German American bank at 209 S College could use some attention. The alleyway has heavy foot traffic with people waking to the Back Door and Blackhouse Bar at all hours of the night. The picture included is of a large trip hazard at the entrance to the alley on College Avenue.

Hi, Yesterday, I parked in the 4th St garage. The fee was only 25 cents, but the machine would not accept quarters, they kept dropping into the basket, so I inserted a one dollar bill. I didn't get any change back and the receipt says "short amount: $0.75, go to the operator for a refund". I know it's only 75 cents, but how do I get my 75 cents back? Thanks.

Upended sidewalk on 2nd street, especially on south side of 2nd at corner of Ballantine, but also further west on 2nd. As elderly people, we find this absolutely treacherous! Sorry we can't send a photo; we have "dumb" phones. Thank you!

Traffic Signals

Case Date:

Traffic signal at 17th and Fee Lane had turn signals until this summer, especially valuable for buses. Is this something that needs to be fixed or is it a permanent change?

Bus Services (Bloomington Transit)

Case Date:
9/22/2017

Hello, I am finally writing here because of the immense and frankly overwhelming inadequacies of Bloomington Transit and what seems to be everyone working there above the position of bus driver. I have emailed them 4(!) times without any response. My primary concern is specifically with the 6 bus route, but it is rampant amongst many of the routes. I have consulted with multiple 6 bus drivers, who will remain anonymous, and discovered quite a bit. I didn't know that Bloomington's government had contracted the group that organizes Bloomington transit, and that seems to be the root of where the problem lies. Bloomington Transit has gone with apparently very little oversight for quite the time now, and I believe that time must come to an end. They are abusing their monopoly of student dependency and it is sickening. The 6 bus route has not been adjusted at all to deal with the new City Flats on Walnut which have completely overloaded the bus. This, combined with the 6 very large apartment complexes the 6 bus already directly served, plus the incompetence of whoever is in charge of dispatching the buses, has completely destroyed the route. WHY YOU SHOULD CARE: I know that money is the only way to make any sense to a government, so how would you like a massive lawsuit when one of these now CONSTANTLY overloaded buses crash? Everyday the bus is packed to the gils with people filled in way past the yellow line, which is entirely illegal. Bus drivers have told me that Bloomington Transit knows about this and by their lack of response are wholly complicit and will be liable in the end. That's on you. This is not only incredibly wrong on the grounds of being monopolistic and shrewd business practice, but it is now endangering human lives. This is not even to mention how abusive this is to the drivers, who are the real reason I'm writing you today. It is time to reign this in, before people are seriously hurt and the blood (and money owed) will be on your hands.
