There are four lights out in this area.
Street light out just south of Allen. I reported this months ago.
Two lights out in front of IU Health Bloomington Hospital shuttle parking lot. I reported these months ago.
Almost every street light is out along Patterson from Rogers to Allen
All three street lights between Fairview and Allen are cycling
There is a blind corner at the corner of S Palmer Ave and E Driscoll St. I was driving south on Palmer and a car pulled out in front of me because they could not see me coming. I slammed on the brakes and I came very close to hitting the other car. If you drive by it is obvious that something needs to be done or someone is going to get injured.
The area of Hillside between Weatherstone and Olive has its share of potholes, but it also has a water pipe that is missing its lid. Earlier today the lid was at the curb cut on the east side of Weatherstone although the pipe hole is closer to Olive. Where Olive meets Hillside there is the remains of what used to be a concrete lip, but is almost entirely broken up now.
The Highland-Hawthorne Bike greenway crosses Hillside Drive at Weatherstone/Olive. This crossing can be difficult and somewhat dangerous, as traffic on Hillside often seems to traveling quite fast, and can be quite busy at certain times of the day. Could the city look into placing a button activated crossing here, much like the one for crossing Walnut at Allen? This could go a long way towards making this crossing a bit safer for families trying to utilize the greenway to access Bryan Park.
On August 27, a bicyclist came down Olive Street, which is a city bike lane, and flew into traffic in front of my truck. It was raining and I slammed on my brakes but it was too late and I hit him with my truck. The man who is a teacher at IU ended up with two spinal fractures, a horribly broken leg and a concussion. He was at fault but if you take a look at that hill it is very steep. I think his brakes locked up and he hydroplaned into the road. There was busy traffic going both ways on Hillside. This happened at 8:35 AM in the rain in front of a school bus from Templeton. I live in the Arden neighborhood and we walk our children to school at Harmony often. There is NO CROSSWALK anywhere between High Street and Henderson Street. It makes me nervous to try and send my kids to school on bikes or even let them walk. I hope that there maybe something that could be done at that intersection in the form of a sign or flashing light and some paint across the street to make people aware that bicyclist maybe crossing there. As I was going down Hillside today, I saw another bicyclist shoot out across the road from Olive up to Weatherstone. I think the bicyclist don’t always know how steep that hill is and you can’t really see the traffic on Hillside until you are at the bottom of it. I was 8 months pregnant on my way to a OB appt at 8:35 when this wreck accured. Traffic was very heavy and everyone was going the speed limit. Even though he was at fault in the eyes of the law, this accident ruined his life I’m sure. I really dont want any stop signs on hillside but like I said, some kind of cross walk might be smart since there is a park and a school within a block of this incident. Thank you
The sidewalk of 601 S Ballantine remains blocked by overgrown bushes on the E 2nd Street side. It's not at all walkable. The bushes get trimmed but are left extending very far over the sidewalk so as to block any access. Please help. Thanks!
