The alley connecting W 3rd Street to W 4th Street, adjacent to 415 W 4th Street, has become a significant pedestrian safety concern. Vehicles frequently travel through the alley and cross the sidewalk onto W 4th Street without stopping or yielding to pedestrians. There is currently no stop sign, crosswalk, or other traffic control indicating that drivers should stop before crossing the pedestrian path, and the path is totally blind to alleyway drivers. This is a year-round issue but it becomes especially hazardous during IU student move-in and other high-traffic periods, when both vehicle and pedestrian traffic increase considerably. People who regularly walk through this area have reported multiple instances of nearly being struck by vehicles exiting the alley. I am requesting that the City evaluate this location and consider installing a stop sign for vehicles exiting the alley and/or adding a marked pedestrian crossing or other appropriate safety measure. Given the limited visibility and lack of any traffic-control signage, some form of intervention seems necessary before someone is injured.

The sewer cover in this area was covered with soil over the winter when snowplows came through to clear the snow from the grassy area to locate water/sewer lines. You can no longer see it. It is possible that it needs to be cleaned out based on issues I'm experiencing in my home nearby.

The amount of simultaneous construction across the entirety of Bloomington has reached a truly ridiculous point. Driving anywhere in town has become a tumultuous, stressful mess. This widespread tearing up of major roads started well before summer, and instead of wrapping up, the gridlock has only gotten increasingly horrid. To make matters worse, the city failed to finish these projects before a massive drove of college students returned to town. Flooding our already broken, bottlenecked streets with thousands of extra drivers at the exact same time is a complete failure of planning that has made Bloomington practically undrivable.

Two doors down from us at 1012 South Grant St. the city did street, curb work that involved the digging the ditch out more and creating a much more severe dip in front of that home. The city put up orange cones along the the very edge, indicating it was temporary and in need of final repair. That was probably a year ago. This ditch has a more severe drop off than any other on our street, or any street near by. It is an accident waiting to happen. Please know that our block no longer is just quiet homeowners. We have three Air BnB's (two beside this house) and student rentals (across street and a few down); their weekend parties once included students taking the orange cones for themselves (owners got them back!) and we often have cars parking along our street late at night during their parties. We are concerned someone will get hurt if any car parks along this dangerous edge - (people move the cones), or a person walking along with their dog or late at night can't see the drop off. Please help our block of neighbors learn what the ultimate plan is for repair and safety. A new student season and Air BnB rentals are about to begin. Thank you for reading this and looking into it for us all.
