Yesterday, for the first time, my garbage container was emptied but not my recyclables bin--they were out together. As it is full, I either need an extra pickup--or to be able to leave another container (old trash barrel)of recyclables out next Wednesday. Thanks, Jim Barnes, 1305 S. Brooks Dr. (south of Covenanter near High Street.
I would like to request sidewalks/speed bumps on Elliston Dr. in Sherwood Oaks Neighborhood. Elliston is the main thourough fair to Sherwood Oaks Park, Jackson Creek Trail and Olcott Park, which also leads to Childs Elementary and Jackson Creek Middle School. There is significant foot traffic daily of adults, kids and pets being walked. Children go to school on this route and yet there is nothing provided to keep them safe. There are currently no sidewalks to keep foot traffic safe and no speed bumps to slow down traffic. People speed through this area whether local traffic or visitors to the park and what the city has done to date is not enough. Someone is going to get hurt and it will be on the onus of those who have chose to do nothing to keep pedestrians safe. Please consider making a change and putting sidewalks/speed bumps in to allow for safe travels for all in this area. Thank you
All three street lights between Fairview and Allen are cycling
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
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.
