Because of all the new construction in the area, there are a *huge* number of cars now vying for the limited spaces. The result is that people are parking in places they shouldn't, and backyards have become parking lots. This location is only one example. On the alley south of the house, over the weekend there was a Lexus with Illinois plates (AC7_2559) parked in the alley, blocking it. At other times (including this morning) another vehicle was parked in the same location (dark red Hyundai Santa Fe, photo attached). This problem will only get worse if Planning continues to allow developers to increase density in this area. There are already *NO* parking spots available on the streets. None. Zilch. It is no wonder people are parking in the alleys.
eastbound 3rd and kimble gets an extended green left arrow that backs up traffic on westbound 3rd. there is no visible reason why the arrow should be triggered when no cars are in that lane or why it needs to be extended when there has never been more than one car turning left.
The owner/tenant of the address 1428 W 6th Street has been keeping a lot of trash that the city isn't picking up. The trash is still there on the sidewalk and making it dangerous for my old mother to walk. She was about to trip the other day. There are plumbing pipes, carpet, and what not on the Sidewalk. Either ask the City to remove that trash or ask the concerned person to take care of the trash. It has been over a month that the trash is still there. There are also kids that walk on the sidewalk.
The residence in 1428 has left trash for the summer and the Sanitation did not pick up. It's been at this location since June 2025.

Cars cut through Matlock Heights to avoid the light at Walnut/Bypass. We need traffic calming here to slow traffic down. Cars are driving at high speeds and not watching out for walkers and children biking. This has been a major issue during the construction which is happening now on Walnut and the Bypass, but is also year round.

Guests park along the front of the property poorly which blocks other residents from moving around their vehicles safely due to poor visibility and turning radius while backing out of the driveway. They are aware the trouble it causes but still continue to park there. Also creates big blind spot hazard and has led to many close calls with vehicles going up and down the street due to forced single lane passageway.
Hi I hope you are doing well! I commute home via scooter and I get home well after dusk. When there is no more natural light in Bloomington, this area gets pitch black. This is dangerous because even with a bike light, you are still riding into a yield sign and a dead end. Some unlucky person will miss it and hurt themselves. Also, another reason for a street light is because it is the only section of 7th street that does not have one⦠or one that works. ESPECIALLY with the speed bumps and the curb coming out to meet the speed bump, it is impossible to see. Thank you for your consideration and I hope we both can contribute to a safer Bloomington!
