The storm drain grate on the northwest corner of 6th & College is missing a bar and the gap is wide enough that a bicycle tire could drop into it and cause injury to the writer and damage to the bike.
I tried to use this area to have a quick meeting with colleagues before going to an appointment at a business on the square. This area was unavailable due to the mess. Balloons, needles, beverage cans, etc. (The yoga mat is mine.) Further, these benches are damaged and appear to be unmaintained. I then moved to the corner of the square where no needles were visible. There I was immediately solicited by panhandlers twice. All of this is unacceptable and I hope to see these areas cleaned and maintained on a proper schedule. The frequency with which I am required to defend myself physically against panhandlers here is becoming unbearable. It is unsafe to be downtown in Bloomington, Indiana.
This sewer grate at 6th and College has a hole in it wide enough to swallow a 2 inch wide bike tire. I believe Bloomington has a standard for storm grates that are bike friendly to avoid this hazard.
My son fell through the space made by the broken bar in this grate. It is on the northeast corner of college and 6th street.
