I am an Adopt-a-Drain volunteer and I just cleared NODE 3285 at the intersection of E.Southdowns Drive and S. Woodlawn Avenue. I have attached a photo and the debris I cleared is ready for removal. V/r, Mark
I’m replying to this ticket and message: https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=206800 Closed by Driss Tahir At this time, the City no longer maintains individual painted parking space lines on residential streets. These markings are not required for parking regulation, and our maintenance program focuses on regulatory and safety related pavement markings such as crosswalks, stop bars, centerlines, and ADA parking. Parking is still permitted along the block, and vehicles may continue to park as usual. If you have any questions or concerns about access, visibility, or safety, feel free to reach back out. Thank you! Thank you for the clarification. I understand that individual residential parking lines are no longer part of the City’s regular pavement-marking program. However, I would like to request a safety and visibility review for our block, based on the guidance you mentioned about access, visibility, and safety concerns. The fading of these lines has created some issues for our immediate neighbors that fit these categories and affect our street’s access and safety. It should be noted that this particular street is quite narrow and is a two-way street. The pavement markings serve a significant purpose on the street. Here are some additional details I’d like you to consider: 1. We have an elderly neighbor who relies on clearly defined parking space boundaries. When cars drift into the space in front of her home, it can block their access or require her to walk farther than she needs to. 2. Several small children live and play on this part of the street. Without visible parking lines, cars often park farther out into the street than before, reducing sightlines and making it harder for drivers to see children entering or exiting vehicles. 3. We have multiple college student renters on the block. Turnover and unfamiliarity with the street lead to inconsistent spacing and irregular parking patterns. This sometimes reduces the usable width of the street and narrows driving lanes. Given these access and safety considerations, would it be possible for the Traffic Division to assess whether refreshed pavement markings would improve visibility and organization on this block? I appreciate your time and your help in keeping the neighborhood safe.
At the corner of Kirkwood Ave and South Walnut, there is a transient woman sleeping. Not particularly obstructing anything but didn't want someone to get hurt.
Thanks to the Zach Sowders crew for making Adams St between 7th and the Bline a safer and more appealing thorough fare.
There's a wasp nest on the BLink trail on the south side of the trail, about .1 miles west of Henderson.
According to Beacon (formerly Elevate), the chair of Art Commission lives in County near W Church Ln and claims homestead there. Again, how can that be allowed for only this commission? There are many good applicants for other commissions who are denied because they are not claiming voter registration at alternate family member address in city limits.
