New construction site on South Rogers is scattering debris on the road. I live in Clear Creek housing edition and have to travel on South Rogers every day for work. In the past 2 weeks I have had two separate issues with the same brand of screws in my back left tire. I travel on I69 for work and have been traveling at 60 miles an hour with a screw in my tire. This has happened twice in two weeks at no fault of my own. This set of tires is less than 6 months old and today I found out from Royal Mazda that I need to purchase a new tire. This is unacceptable from a point of safety for the South Rogers neighborhood and an additional cost to citizen(s) of Bloomington.
I met this morning with Mr. Nathan Bell (812-679-7436) who resides at 831 S Ransom Lane. Mr. Bell expressed concern about no speed limit signs along Ransom Lane between 2nd Street and Allen Street as this is a school bus corridor with safety concerns for his children and those of his neighbors. His formal request: install posted speed limit signs along Ransom Lane between 2nd Street and Allen Street.
I am requesting that a speed bump and a flashing speed indicator be installed in a location along W Woodlawn Ave, somewhere between S Weatherstone Ln and E Wilson St. The speed limit on S Woodlawn Ave is 25 MPH, but the average vehicle's speed in front of my approximate address is closer to 45 MPH, with many vehicles regularly reaching speeds over 60 MPH and even 80 MPH at least daily. The reason why the speed limit is 25 MPH on S Woodlawn Ave is because of its proximity to Indiana University foot and bike commuters, Bryan Park, the Bryan Park Pool, a bus stop, and Union Elementary School. In addition to these elements, S Woodlawn Ave is also hilly which contributes to dangers associated with limited lines of sight between vehicles and pedestrians. Being a thoroughfare between Hillside Ave and streets north of it, traffic naturally flows faster than 25 MPH especially with the only stop sign between 1st St and Hillside Ave being at Sheridan Ave. Drivers frequently “floor” their vehicles through S Woodlawn Ave, and the police speed enforcement seems to never pull anyone over for speeding. For the above reasons, the current traffic pattern on S Woodlawn Ave is incompatible with its intended use. Installing a speed bump and a flashing speed indicator (for both northbound and southbound traffic) will hopefully greatly reduce thoroughfare excessive speeds. I am worried that this is a formula for someone to get hurt and it is only a matter of time unless the City does something about this. Please at least conduct a traffic study. Thank you for receiving my note, and I will be following up on this.
The contractor that did the construction in the basement did it without permits, it also violates the fire code. This facility treats disabled individuals struggling with mental health and addiction.
Intersection of Patterson and Allen. If heading north on Patterson, there is a hump as you cross Allen street at the light. When doing 30mph(the speed limit) it's enough to upset steering and cause traction control to come on.
The signs giving instructions for the back-in parking should have the diagram (map) rotated 180 degrees. The standard for such diagrams is to have the direction of movement going UP the page, not down. Also, the parking spaces are shown on the right side of the diagram; it looks like you are instructed to front into spaces on the right (the small arrows pointing down are hard to notice, while the up-&-right arrow is large).
Moors and Clarizz, the fiber contractors left a large rectangular hole in the asphalt by the arbors entrance
There was a temporary traffic sign placed in front of the property. The street construction is complete, but the sign was never removed. The sign was blown over by the wind and has become an eye sore. It would be great if the city could get that picked up...
A tree fell on power lines next to Willows Apartments. It must've happened during the last storm. It's been several days and no one has done anything, so I wanted to make sure the City knew about it. Potentially hazardous, also blocks sight when pulling out of the Willows Apartments.
