Duke utilizing city parking lot for cars and cables. Behind trades district and trades garage.
This scooter parking has recently been placed in front of our home without notice. We feel that this parking will be an extreme nuisance to our home, as it is located directly outside bedroom windows. We fear that intoxicated people riding these scooters will be close to our parked cars and right outside our home on a frequent basis. We are worried about noise and the safety of our home and property with intoxicated people parking scooters in the middle of the night. In addition, we do not want people loitering outside of the home. We want this parking area relocated. The parking is located at the corner of 12th Street and Grant Street.
We just moved back to Bloomington after being overseas the past two years. In the two weeks here, at the traffic circle near our house there have now been three incidents where traffic just barrels into the circle at E. Rogers and S. Sare Rd. without caring about the traffic already in it. We have had to stop from being hit on two of these occasions, the other we observed. Is there any signage or other measure that can be done to make this intersection more safe? Thank you for any attention you can give to this.
McDonald’s on east side has an exit door locked from inside
"Leaf Guard" sign at the corner of S Rogers (2002) and S Rockport Rd, in the grass. Looks like it is in the ROW.
Soliciting ongoing adjacent to south side IUCU on Winslow rd. Please address the loitering and soliciting ongoing.
There is a large, deep pothole right in the middle of the intersection of 6th and Morton Streets. Thank you, Tony
Raised sidewalk (both sides of slab) caused by tree roots in easement causing tripping hazard.
The people who drive cars in this town are typically rude and dismissive of common decency. They constantly speed, even on residential streets; they drive on sidewalks and bike lanes even when there are people present; they drive at night without lights on; they drive drunk; they *often* drive the wrong way on one-way streets; and if you make a comment to them about hazards they are creating they curse and/or gesture obscenely. Please please please ban them from the city. There was an accident recently where a driver hit a cyclist and drove away: https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/local/2023/07/18/police-seek-hit-and-run-driver-of-ford-150-that-struck-bicyclist/70422419007/. Does the City really want to be known as a place that encourages people to risk their lives when they walk or bicycle, and turn a blind eye when people are injured or killed? How many more accidents is it going to take for you to wake up and ban cars from our streets? Thank you.
We need to get rid of those electric public scooters. I am a big advocate for public transportation, but it is clear that the infrastructure of Bloomington is not meant to handle anything other than cars, foot traffic, or occasionally bicycles. The use of public electric scooters constantly poses a risk to pedestrians walking, or vehicles in motion. As a walker I have nearly been hit by one of these multiple times, and as a driver these things are such a liability due to their speed and the fact that most people who use them do not follow the rules, they just zip around. Last year a young man died on one of those scooters. This year another is injured. This is becoming a public safety emergency, so please for the sake of the bodily health of the citizens, ban these scooters.
