Sidewalk Requests

Case Date:
10/25/2014

A sidewalk is really needed on East Allen Street from South Walnut St. to South Henderson St. (Bryan Park). This is a highly travelled road by pedestrians and cyclists (though there is a "bike lane," which is not separated from the road itself). However, parking is allowed on both sides of the streets and I have personally nearly been run over by cars on more than 5 or 6 occasions, as I walk the street every day. Each and every single day, I notice children waiting for the bus, standing on the street exposed to traffic coming both directions. And what's more, this is a main thoroughfare for the entire neighborhood as it runs right up to the main West entrance to Bryan Park, which is the location of the main playgrounds. I see children walking down this street every day to access the playgrounds and it is undeniably an unsafe street given that cars are parked on both sides and traffic is traveling both ways. A sidewalk on at least one side of the street is really, really needed as this has become a serious public safety issue. Thank you.

Over a year ago, a sidewalk was supposed to go in along Fairview Street, between Patterson Drive and Wylie, in McDoel Gardens. This section is very dangerous for kids walking to the school bus stop, especially in the winter with icy roads. Snow piles force kids to walk directly in the road, sharing the road with cars in the dark. All signs appeared that the process was to begin shortly (flags were up, etc.) but after Justin Wykoff's arrest, the project appeared to have stalled. Can you send me an update on this situation? I am concerned for my kids as bad weather approaches and we are still without sidewalks.

Hello. I am requesting a crosswalk be installed across Liberty Drive at Constitution Way. There is a bus stop at this intersection, and many people--including myself--cross Liberty Drive at this point. The traffic is often consistent and fast, thus making crossing Liberty Drive dangerous and time-consuming. Author Solutions and BioLife are both across the street, where I and others I've observed are going to. Thank you for your consideration. Brandon Williams

There is a significant residental population in this area, especially with the Meadow Park apartments. However, in the area specified in this request, there are no side walks, and only a tiny gravely shoulder for pedestrians and bicyclists to "safely" for lack of a better term, to travel westbound on 10th road. Could we look into building better bike paths and sidewalks on that stretch of road? The rest of 10th street has them, and N. Smith Road has bike paths that end just right where the problem area begins.

I am not requesting a sidewalk, only that the city finish a sidewalk project it started a long time ago. Three years ago the city installed a new sidewalk on the south west quadrant of Kinser Pike and the 46/45 Bypass. A black fabric erosion barrier was installed and never removed. This eyesore has been in place since the completion of the project. The State of Indiana is unable to mow this area because of the obstruction. It would be nice if the city would remove this so it can once again be mowed. According to the city this area is part of the "scenic gateway corridor" to Bloomington. For the past few years it has been anything but scenic. Thank you for taking a look at this situation. Regards, Jeff Stevens, Owner, Harley-Davidson of Bloomington 812-333-8300

Sidewalks at Olcott Park have not been shoveled as of March 8, 2015. Very snowy and icy. Currently 42 degrees and my children and others are trying to play at the park.

I am not sure who to ask about this. I am the head of the neighborhood association Elm Heights. We have had a lot of work done by the gas company both this and last year and we were wondering if they will be patching up all the wholes in the sidewalks and streets and what the time line we can expect? We know the bad weather and winter can be a problem with this and I just need something to pass on to people who are worried they may be responsible. I can send you photos and addresses if you need them. In general it is 2nd street between Lincoln and Henderson, Henderson near 2nd and some other cross streets. Also the parallel street Hunter Ave. Thank you so much, Jenny Southern
