I understand that there are projects being done next to North Washington, but this is a residential street with people who live here and need to leave for class and other obligations. There are many times we cannot leave in time or the road is blocked due to an abundant amount of trucks And other work vehicles. This project has been going on for a long time. It’s blocking parking spots overnight and preventing us from leaving and coming back to our homes easily. It’s preventing our trash from being taken. There are many weeks where our trash never gets taken because of the blockage. there needs to be better solutions to this.
No snow has been plowed
The left turn lane headed south on Washington at the 3rd Street intersection is completely blocked. The city should go evaluate the situation. Maybe send a plow truck or other equipment to clear the street. The snow stopped a week ago.
It is a little rich that the city of of Bloomington expects citizens to clean their sidewalks at this point since the snow stopped on Sunday. However, the city cannot get its own street cleared at the intersection of East 3rd and College Mall Rd. The right turn lane has not existed for days because it’s snow-covered. When will this get fixed? The mayors post about getting sidewalks clear and potential tickets. It’s just a little too much to take when the city hasn’t met its own obligation.
Apparently the diesel - electric buses enter into a "regeneration" cycle under idle to somehow clean out the soot particulates in the diesel exhaust system. Hot exhaust burns out the soot, right? It stinks all to high hel** and fills the cabin with what smells like CO - filled exhaust. I fear being asphixiated while waiting for the warm bus to begin it's route. I open a couple of windows everytime I board. Is this an exhaust leak, or is pumping hot regenerative soot exhaust gases including CO into the cabin, er.. normal? This smells awful and scares me everytime I ride a bus in these conditions. Please provide proof this is not a danger or remedy this nasty smelling problem.
There Thea’s a bus sitting parked along the the west side of College 15th to 16th from approximately 720 to Atleast 730+ This cause a line of site for cars trying to out of 15th because the bus was just sitting. I did not get the bus number but people trying to get on to college could look north to see if the lane was clear to pull out.
At 3:54 pm today, an emergency vehicle was approaching this intersection from the south (with lights and sirens) and a white BT SUV turned from W Grimes Lane onto N Walnut Street. The emergency vehicle turned west onto W Grimes Lane, making their paths a close call. This is just a friendly reminder for them to stop and yield rather than turn right before the emergency vehicle reaches the intersection.
Hello, I was biking north on S Walnut St. in the bike lane around 3:30pm on Friday afternoon. A BT bus passed me and then immediately pulled over in the bike lane to stop near Smith Ave. This alone is unacceptable, as the driver could have simply waited a few seconds to pull over instead of cutting me off. I was able to bike around the bus, but again, as we were approaching the 3rd St. intersection and the bike lane was disappearing, the bus passed me again. At the intersection, the bus was going to turn right onto 3rd, so I waited for the bus to turn, but then he waited for me to continue straight. I passed the bus on the right side and the driver (older white man) was clearly annoyed at me. I support transit, but this interaction was uncomfortable and not how busses should interact with cyclists, especially on a busy corridor.
Owner is mixing tea at her residence in the basement of her home. This home and basement has sanitary issues (previously reported) such as ants, rodents, and squirrel infestation. There is not a licensed kitchen and I have ordered and afraid of what conditions my tea is packaged in. No response from business about my order and her tea shop is closed permanently since end of December. She has posted on social media she is working on the orders and other posts state she is working on them in her residence basement. This is a concern. Thank you for investigating. The business is Cup and Kettle Tea Shop. The website says it open, however no direct communication about online orders.
