According to John Garzee’s response to Ureport #210034, “Cyclists traveling east-west are not being detected at the signal, so they have to use the pedestrian push button to get a green. The current equipment does not reliably detect bikes, and fixing this would require upgrading the detection system. We’ve noted the location, but until funding is available for that upgrade, the signal will not consistently turn green for people biking.” In light of this situation, are there resources available to make the pedestrian beg button accessible to cyclists? It is currently impossible for a cyclist to press the button without getting off the bike and walking to the sidewalk.

The storm drain here routinely clogs with leaves and floods this corner of the street. Me or neighbors have to unclog it constantly. Sometimes 3-4 times on a rainy day. Is there some engineering fix for this? A larger grate or different grate design perhaps? I fear one day I'll get electrocuted trying to clear this grate during a lightning storm. The alternative to risking death is letter my garage flood, which also seems unpleasant. Thanks!

There is a significant pot hole at the end of the driveway at 521 E Winslow Farm Dr. The area in question is an "eyebrow" and several of us need to turn unto E Winslow Farm Drive from this semi-circle. The hole is rather large and deep and it has become a serious problem to avoid. The hole is located on the city street of E Winslow Frm Drive. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

the alley behind this building between rogers and madison that connects 3rd st and 4th street has multiple huge potholes that keep getting worse...they are all big enough that it could easily pop someones tire or someone could get seriously injured if they happened to walk through one in the evening. this is a high traffic are due to the i-fell building shops and the office spaces.

4th Street is in need of repaving. We had heard from some Utility workers on site that the storm sewer line along 4th St was broken between Jackson and Fairview. They covered (with sphalt) a storm sewer inlet grate at SW intersection of Fairview and Jackson. Several new holes were made in the road surface. The street has holes, patches, large cracks and detioriating material everywhere. Streets in Hyde park have been resurfaced x3 since 4th St has been resurfaced.

Passed a dead deer or something about that size earlier. Driving SW on Bloomfield. Not sure where it was exactly, but it was a little bit past that rec center

There is trash behind the house, in the parking area--some in trash containers that are open and some laying on the other side of the parking area--those opened trash bags are covered in weeds and have been there for several weeks and the flys are breeding. This is an on-going and regular problem with this location. I have also seen rats in the front yard.

Third Street underneath the B-Line Trail bridge. Kirkwood and Dunn. Indiana Avenue between Kirkwood and 7th. The three-way intersection of E Moores Pike, S Sare, and College Mall Rd. 7th St by the IMU. The IU campus around Ballantine. Dozens of alleyways and backyards. What do all of these places have in common? Flooding. They flood when it storms. I don't mean when it rains a bit, and I'm not talking about those rare events when it rains for days and we have unanticipated flooding (like in 2019 and 2021). I mean when it storms and we get heavy rain. Dozens of places in Bloomington become impassable. These areas have flooded out for years - ESPECIALLY that part of Third Street under the B-Line bridge. That seems to flood whenever we get more than just a drizzle of rain. And it's right next to that construction for the shiny new skyline bridge and convention center add-on. I recognize that drawing in additional funding through the use of the convention center is appealing for the city. That said, it's always amazed me how the city seems to focus on construction projects while completely disregarding the abysmal state of the stormwater drainage/runoff system in various parts of town. It's not like this is a new issue. I can only imagine how frustrating it will be for those visiting town to visit the convention center, only to get stuck there because the street right next to it flooded out. Again. I know it would be a massive undertaking, both in terms of cost and time. I won't pretend to know the ins-and-outs of infrastructure design and improvement. All I know is that I have to plan an alternate route to get through town whenever it rains enough, and it's happened enough that I know which parts of town to avoid.
