8:24am jul 15. At walnut & smith. I was eastbound on bike, waiting at red light to cross walnut. A white pickup truck was across from me, westbound, no turn signal, blocking the ped xing while he waited to cross walnut. He went about twenty seconds beforr the light turned green, running the red. His plate was a blue municipal plate, 63998.
There are not enough garbage bins on the b line trail. Between country club and the park, there is only one. There is often trash thrown on the trail in the trees. Even 1 more at the start of the trail on country club would be helpful. Thank you.
An employee from hfi mechanical group filmed the children playing at the splash pad. If it’s for the city’s use I understand but if not I think it needs to be looked into.
Why have we had an empty big box store for years? Kmart. One of the biggest blights and we're letting a land speculator hold it or what? There's so much focus on other areas of the city it's neglectful to keep a giant empty metal warehouse by College Mall instead of putting the area to badly needed good use. Please step it up and put some attention to getting the area occupied and revitalized. Why are there all these meetings about the hospital that isn't even empty yet when we've had this massive empty structure for so long. Help please. Thank you.
Why don't all bad sidewalks or poor people at least get to use the city sidewalk fund? I'm not sure how it works but doesn't seem many people get access. And the zones they talk about are years old. Pretty sure there was a recent study that has new zones. Parts of the east side have horribly deteriorated sidewalk infrastructure and is already too reliant on cars; they should be eligible too. Please talk to whoever does poor areas of town to confirm areas of eligibilty. This should be citwide.
What's the deal with the city taking down two trees at this address? You have been working a couple hours on ONE tree since LAST week. You have more guys standing around than working! They show up at 7 AM with three or four vehicles stand around awhile, work for and hour or so then leave! This protracted pace is interfering with other work being done in the neighborhood. A professional service (Fowler) would have had both trees down and cleaned up in ONE DAY! What gives Bloomington? Time to start hiring out this work and end this seemingly wasteful government service? Thanks, Roger
A very large pothole behind CVS gave me a flat tire on July 11, 2020. I will also be contacting CVS about this. The hole is not obvious but is very long, deep, and dangerous. The tow truck driver who helped transport my car noted I wasn't his first client to have encountered it either.
I have previously described this issue of dead trees in the front yard of a rental property at 526 E. University, and I would like to know when I might expect an answer to my concern. Thank you.
The pedestrian crossing sign in the middle of the road is missing.
