these mattresses have been sitting outside of 624 S Woodlawn for almost a month, since the renter changeover. occasionally the mattresses fall over, blocking the sidewalk. this is a rental (4+/- unit) apartment building.
Shame on the City for pushing for a market based downtown where only the rich can afford to shop and lounge. Some degree of free parking is a public resource for those who must drive. If you want to create transportation alternatives, great, but instead the City keeps making steps toward where those who are rich and/or have time can use the roadways while the rest of us must stay home. Residents should have downtown access.
This is following up on a previous complaint. I am using a separate filing because I could not figure out how to reply to the last one. The traffic patterns at the intersection of 10th and Range Rd facilitate dangerous maneuvers by motorists, which put at risk other motorists and pedestrians. There are two lane options on 10th going east and west: right turn only or straight/left turn only. The light is only indicates 'Go' and there are no arrow lights. When a motorist wants to turn left coming from either direction on 10th, it blocks all straight bound traffic. Right turns are much rarer at this intersection, so the right turn only lane is completely open. Some motorists choose to use this lane to go straight through the intersection and blow through nearly hitting turning vehicles that are patiently waiting their turn to go. Backed up traffic creates a blind spot for the left turning vehicle and they often do not see the oncoming vehicle attempting to go straight in the right only lane. Every day there are close encounters. To make matters more difficult, the bus stop is immediately adjacent to this intersection on both sides of 10th, causing even more close encounters. This is a high traffic intersection at all times of the day, but particularly in the morning and evening during rush hours.
This person has complained about the line of sight issue along Highland between 1st and East Maxwell Lane. He walks along these streets and states that the cars park to close to the sidewalk in the parking lots and the bushes are overgrown. Would like this issue addressed.
Adams bridge apparently seems to be getting hit by too big trucks regularly. Having spoken to folks near by, it seems like while there are markings available, they are not sufficent to prevent accidents. Could folks look into improving the marking in the area?
Seriously? No free downtown parking, at all? Make it even harder to get around a small city like Bloomington. Planning for transportation in this town sucks. Give regular people an option without paying an arm.
dumpster overflow in alley
1301 S. Walnut St. The meter reading person reported that current usage was 10,000 gallons. There are no drips or running toilets at the property. City crews did do major work in front of the property recently - is it possible that the recent work impacted the sewer water?
My name is Brynn and I live in the Regency Court apartment complex. I am signed up through the City of Bloomington to pay our water and sewage bills, but we have been moved in for over 2 months and have not yet received a bill. We just are wondering when we will receive that, and want to make sure that we have not missed any! Thanks!
