Faded traffic paint at the intersection of E Grimes and Walnut makes it difficult to determine which lane is left turn only and which lane is straight or right turn. Left turn arrow is only partial visible and straight arrow is completely gone. This creates unsafe traffic conditions for drivers unfamiliar with the road.
There is gravel in the intersection on the south side of Grimes & Palmer.
There is a utility pole on the southwest corner of Grimes and Palmer. It is covered with heavy vines and overgrowth. Drivers heading North or turning onto Grimes have to pull out onto Grimes to get a view of the eastbound traffic. Pretty dangerous. Thank you for your help. L Gallagher 1225 S Palmer
There are pieces of glass on a portion of Trail 2 at Griffy Lake. I attached a screenshot of the AllTrails map and highlighted the portion of the trail where we noticed it. It feels oddly intentional… there are at least three different types of glass (green, brown, and clear), all pieces are all relatively small, and they are spread out pretty evenly. I unfortunately did not take a picture of any of the glass. I also did not continue on that portion of the trail to know if the issue is more extensive.
About 2:30, 1/11/24, twelve cars were at Griffy Lake dam parking lot, with two more, both City vehicles, and I asked one of them "Do bladders and bowels stop working in winter?" At first, no comprehendre. I said, why is the rest room locked? I asked them to pass on my complaint, and the guys directed me to U-REPORT. After my run at 3:30, 18 cars were in the parking lot, none city vehicles. Griffy Lake sees more than 50 cars a day, perhaps more than 100 - where the rest room? This is plainly a sanitation issue. If there's no restroom, at least walk the trails with a pooper-scooper!
Missing person info not needed as person has died. I saw this today at Griffey lake parking lot. I am a member of church where Owen Busey parents attend
I've been trying to email griffy.boathouse@bloomington.in.gov to do boat rentals but every time I send an email it gets bounced back with the message. "We're writing to let you know that the group you tried to contact (griffy.boathouse) may not exist, or you may not have permission to post messages to the group. A few more details on why you weren't able to post:" I got the email from this page https://bloomington.in.gov/parks/parks/griffy-lake/boathouse
I've noticed the systematic cutting of the wild grape vines throughout the Griffy Nature Preserve. These are native Indiana plants used as food by wildlife, not an alien invasive species. Why are these being cut from the nature preserve? Shouldn't this area be allowed to remain as wild as possible?
The connecting footpath between Greenwood Avenue and Southdowns is blocked by honeysuckle. My daughter was knocked off her bike yesterday. I have written to the council about this problem in previous years. Perhaps the honeysuckle could be cut back more significantly, or this could be put on a regular maintenance rotation? This is part of the 'safe routes to school' in the neighborhood, so trimming before the school start would be great. It's a quick job. Thank you!
One week ago, people were laying internet cable in our neighborhood. They left last Friday, but there are still sizeable holes in the streets, each of which is an injury and lawsuit waiting to happen. My yard has a hole in the grass and a pile of dirt. There are no covers for these holes, and they are very dangerous for kids and adults (its a walk-to-school route). This work was carried out with no notice to the households, and they left it unfinished with no safety precautions. I live at 1011 S. Greenwood Ave. This photo is of one the holes at the corner of Rose and Dexter, which I have to avoid while biking to work. It's about 10" across. Can you make sure that these holes are covered and that the dirt in my yard is cleared up? Thanks.
