Construction signage fully blocking pedestrian right-of-way forcing walkers to step out into traffic on a very busy road with no shoulder.
Plants in the yard of 312 w Dodds are fully blocking the sidewalk, forcing pedestrians to step out into a very busy street with no shoulder. This stretch is also fully inaccessible to anyone using mobility aids due to the plants.
There is an extremely low tree branch hanging over the road near the train tracks by 401 S Pete Ellis. It’s been there a couple days. I see trucks kept hitting the branch. It’s going be dangerous when it finally breaks or falls.

Commissioner at Transportation Commission meeting on 9/28/2026 requested analysis of street lighting at the intersection of E Covenanter Dr and College Mall Rd. They complained that street lighting on the west side of the intersection is insufficient for safe pedestrian utilization of the intersection. Drivers heading north on College Mall turning left onto Covenanter, and drivers headed east from Covenanter turning right onto College Mall have a difficult time seeing pedestrians in the crosswalk at night or in low-light conditions. Currently there is a street light on the north east corner of the intersection (Location 965 S College Mall Rd, Bloomington, IN 47401 (39.1553, -86.4976)); however, the light does not appear like it was installed to illuminate the corner of the crosswalk in question. The existing light is not impacted by overgrown vegetation. In terms of follow up on this item, if there is any action staff can take on it, I would like to document staff response and the process via uReport and a staff report at a future commission meeting.
