The HAWK crossing on S Walnut St between Switchyard & the B Link has some serious safety issues due to drivers not stopping for the flashing red light. I have witnessed even BPD officers blow through this. If our own cops can't figure out how it's supposed to work, I have no confidence in regular drivers. I have nearly been hit at this intersection multiple times due to drivers either not stopping for the flashing red or blowing through the solid red entirely. This corridor is in the highest priority tier on the city's safe streets map so I am hoping Planning or Engineering can look at ways to improve this intersection. Even just increasing the solid red timer would help in the short term, but this HAWK crossing doesn't seem to work well in general compared to the ones on Country Club or the new one on the rail trail on S Rogers.

Can the city connect N.Old SR 37 to N. Skyline Dr? There is an old roadbed parallel to and south of the waterfall in Cascades Park and it's creek, with a yellow gate by the small pedestrian bridge by the lil circle thingy.
Crossing N.Kinser near the basketball courts/ skatepark can be a little daunting with the poor sightline of the curve. I suspect a crosswalk further west at Skyline Dr may feel safer.

Can the city connect Blue Ridge Dr and the Visitor Center to the lower cascades playground parking lot? I'm asking this one for a friend, her vision was a grand staircase, more of an art object than a bike trail.

Utility Construction Projects
4295 N. Kinser Pike
- Case Date:
- 6/1/2026
Near the middle of May, Bloomington experienced several days of heavy rain. I understand that there were many problems around town. One of many near my house involved the flooding of Kinser Pike due to intense sheet runoff from the under-construction development, Kinser Ridge. Kinser Ridge had a silt fence up, but the runoff breached it. The muddy water flowed downslope through my neighbor's garage, yard shed, and driveway, and through the farm field to the north. This amounted to so much water that the culvert under Kinser Pike could not hold it, and the silty water flowed over Kinser Pike. The water pooled in the road for several hours. This was a problem worthy of a uReport. However, my actual gripe today is that the developer has not attempted to repair the damage or reinstall the silt fence. Now, when it rains again, the silty water will flow again with no impediment because the soil is now at the top of the broken-down silk fence. Behind my property line is disturbed bare soil that eroded into my yard last time, and because no effort has been made to fix it, the mud from the soil erosion will again bury my grass and trench out my garden. The bottom line is that I would like the developer to remediate the erosion problems in the northeast corner of the development before it rains again. P.S. They have had acres of bare soil uncovered for about a month. Isn't that prohibited?
Drainage or Runoff

Hello- The drain in our cul de sac regularly is clogged and I've written about this before. The pipe which runs from the drain to the city easement drainage creek, runs through our back yard. The city sent out a crew several years ago and Phil Peden emailed with pictures saying there were multiple breaches as someone (before we moved here in 2011) connected to the pipe with gutter discharges or something. He said it was our responsibility to fix the pipe, but since it deals with city water using our property, I was hoping the city could help us. We have regularly had water in our basement since moving here and have spent thousands of dollars drying it. The whole water from the neighborhood comes towards us, as well as the golf course water down the service road in our backyard. Our neighbors' yard along creek is overwhelmed with water as well. For some reason, I'm unable to attach a video of the creek from the last big rain on May 20, so if you give me an email, I can send it that way. Thanks for your help .Kevin Murphy 917 374 8069

Public path connecting Roosevelt and Jefferson at 4th St. (I think is under Public Works purview) needs tended to. There look to be some hemlock weeds in this briar patch. Thanks.
