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.
a dumpster is sitting in and blocking the bike lane. this can get a bit hairy if there's other traffic.
Two bricks are missing from the decorative sidewalk in front of the Waldron's Walnut St entrance. Can they be replaced? Concerned about a trip hazard.
There are three curbs that I think should be painted yellow so cyclists (and cars) don't run over them: 1) 108 W 4th St. in front of WFHB station there is a very low curb that is easy to miss as a cyclist 2) 200 E 4th St there are two brand new curbs / bump outs for the Fifth-Third bank parking entrance. I'm glad they are there but if they were yellow they'd be easier to see, especially at night. Thank you, Jaclyn
I teach classes at the John Waldron Arts Center for Ivy Tech. Each class is approximately 3 hours long since it is a studio art class. My student said there is a 2 hour limit on the parking meters on Walnut street which means she needs to leave during class time to move her car to another meter. This has never been an issue before. Why is it now?
On 4th st (n side ) in front of WFHB, 91.3. Light is out or not turning on.
the recent paving along College has in effect lowered the crub and now stormwater flow onto the sidewalk.
