I was told by Rhonda at Bloomington housing authority that the construction project taking place in our courtyard on Lindbergh will be a covered structure for bicycle parking. My concern is if motorized vehicles like scooters and motorcycles park there, the c shape created by the three tall apartment buildings surrounding the courtyard already create an amphitheater that echoes every sound. The noise from bikes that people built themselves around here are loud enough, but if they're revving them up in our courtyard and if there's an awning, and we're in this low level across the street from a hill, please consider how loud this will be in our apartments where there's gaps around our front door. I work full-time and need my sleep at night and to rest on the weekends. There are small children living here who need to be in bed at night. Please consider including signs that there will be no motorcycles or motor scooters parking here. I think bicycle parking is wonderful and I am enthusiastic about having bicycle parking. In a previous report, I mentioned the issue that has already been present of flooding before this construction began, and tomorrow, there is a flash flood warning for all of Central Indiana.
pulling out of the parking lot of IU Health SIP office onto Rogers Street you cannot see Rogers Street clearly due to the landscaping being to tall
W. Dodds St. needs a double-yellow line between S. Rogers and S. College to make it clear that it's a two-way street there. Traffic coming from S. College onto Dodds has been going one-way before the turn, but nothing on Dodds indicates that it's now a two-way street. I was going east on W. Dodds recently when a westbound car was headed toward me on my side of the road. I honked loud and long until they moved over. But it wasn't really their fault since nothing after they turned alerted them to the fact that Dodds had become a two-way street there---no signage, nothing. Thank you.
Received multiple calls that this street is blocked by the construction development of the new apartment complex across the street. Spoke to HAND who transferred me to the Street Division who transferred me to Engineering Department, where I left a voicemail. Multiple residents/vendors of our apartment location there on Lincoln Street have been told that they cannot use the street today d/t construction and as of 20 minutes ago it was blocked. This is the only street in and out of here for us/residents/etc.
Over growth of weeds
The crosswalk light is automatically coming on, even if there are no pedestrians, causing traffic backups for people trying to turn west onto 45/46 that are facing north on Kinser Pike.
A porta potty and a large backhoe is blocking the sidewalk and the view to see if cars are coming and school starts Wednesday so this will make it hard for walkers and for the school bus driver to see around the corner.
Once again Street Department is repaving roads with barely any milling work done, this time on South Washington. Milling down 1' strips less than .5" at the curb and not milling at all in the middle of the road. The "repaving" here is just piling up over an inch of fresh asphalt on top of un-milled asphalt. This raises the grade of the road, which also means curbs are now effectively lower and storm drains that should be at grade are now sitting in a pit of asphalt.
Resident reports a dumpster parked in an area clearly marked with a "No Parking" sign on the street. Dumpster creates an obvious roadway hazard. Location provided is approximate. Dumpster was delivered evening of July 24.
