I hit this pothole less than a mile from my work place. It has damaged my tired to the point where I have to buy a new tire.
The light on Walnut St at Hillside facing south is going red for long periods with no turning traffic
When the car light is green for 10th Street and the pedestrian signal to cross tenth street is a solid hand, the talking box on the beg button says the walk sign is on. I stood there a few signals and the box starts saying the walk sign is on when the green light is on for both directions. It's about 4:22, and I took a video if you'd like to see. This the corner of 10th and Fee.
I just submitted the thing about the talking box at 10th and Fee. I told you I have a video, but I didn't give you my contact info. I entered in into the app and it should be connected to this report.
My neighbor's black walnut trees drop hundreds of them on my lawn and I don't know how to get rid of them. I finally got them in two large containers, but they are very heavy and I cannot move them. Any ideas?
There are couple of good size potholes on Franklin Road, on the stretch near Holiday Inn Express, both on the northbound and southbound lanes.
I noticed the recent guidelines for scooters don't specifically explain who has the right-of-way on the B-line trail. It's already unclear whether cars are supposed to yield to bike traffic. Some do, some don't, leading to confusion in the entire community. Now the same is applying to electric scooters. I was on a scooter on the B-Line this morning, slowed as I approached 2nd Street, and cars in each direction had also slowed as if they were yielding. I proceeded through the crossing but the westbound car did not in fact yield and nearly hit me (at a very low speed, granted--so I couldn't tell if they didn't see me or were being super aggressive). So when I approached the 4th Street crossing I came to a dead stop, as did the cars on 4th Street, waving me on. TL;DR the right-of-way rules on the B-Line were already unclear and are even more so now with a third major type of trail use. Please create clear signage at every major intersection on the trail that states who has the right-of-way so that both trail users and vehicular traffic understand the rules.
The lack of shoulders on the roads is a serious problem in Bloomington. I have lived in a number of cities across the US and Bloomington is the first city I've seen that has very few (if any?) shoulders on the roads. This is unbelievably problematic - if someone has car trouble they can't pull off to the side, if you are dropping someone off you can't just pull off to the side, if I receive a phone call I can't pull over, if riding a bicycle you can't ride along the side.... there are a fair number (surely more than is acceptable) of bike and scooter accidents in Bloomington, and this can largely be attributed to lack of shoulders on roads.
