Biking & Walking

210 N Smith RD

Case Date:
9/10/2019

Treacherous bike riding jn "bike lanes" along Smith Rd. from E 3rd street up to 10th St. There are large sticks, large pieces of trash, grates that could cause tires to cause an accident. Bike lanes are no where near wide enough. You cannot count the 'gutter' area as a bike lane as its unevenness can catch tires and cause wrecks. Also, there must be several inches for a biker to be able to move over when a car comes around him/her dangerously close. You are asking for serious injury and even deaths if bikes are knocked out of the lane into the path of oncoming cars from either direction. I'd like to challenge anyone to try to stay in those dangerous, narrow lanes day in and day out on the commutes to work. If it is the law to allow bikers 3 feet for safety, cars need to see the definite boundaries of that 3 feet. Too many cars have passed me where I could reach out easily and touch the cars. They also pass me dangerously close to returning to their lane as oncoming cars approach.

Blocked Sidewalk

2102 E Wimbleton LN

Case Date:
8/26/2019

The branches encroaching on the sidewalk have gotten to be too much on High St. just South of Wimbleton. Pedestrian traffic is significant here, especially now that school has started, and it's honestly challenging for adults to get past one another while ducking under the branches. This is a popular place for people to ride their bikes on the sidewalk, taking their kids to school, and an adult biking on the sidewalk going down the hill might be in danger of being decapitated by all the branches.

Debris Removal

212-398 N Smith Rd, Bloomington, Indiana, 47408

Case Date:
11/6/2019

On Smith Rd. between Morningside Drive and the railroad overpass, there is lots of debris along the road, there were sandbags that were put out around the drains which have since then broken up and laying there probably preventing water from going down the drain. The weeds along the sidewalks on both sides need weedwhipped. It's very unsightly. Thanks.

2231 N Martha ST

Case Date:
9/17/2019

The house located at 2231 N. Martha Street is zoned residential single-family (RS), in the Matlock Heights historic district, but it is being used as a fraternity house (Aloha Kappa Lambda), with attendant problems (noise violations, traffic, trash, etc.). This would seem to be a violation of the city’s zoning ordinance.

Traffic Related Complaints

2401-2499 N Fritz Dr, Bloomington, Indiana, 47408

Case Date:
11/9/2018

Our street, North Fritz Drive, is receiving a significant amount of drive-through traffic of people trying to skip the busy traffic light at the Bypass. Myself, my wife and my 16 year old daughter have all been in multiple very close calls recently from drivers going between 35 and 45 miles per hour on a neighborhood street where the speed limit should be no more than 20 mph. We strongly suggest that speed bumps be placed on Fritz Drive asap. It is clear many drivers coming West on the Bypass are going North on Dunn St, into Matlock Heights, then flying down Fritz Drive to get to North Walnut. Please don't hesitate to contact myself, C. Samson May, at (812)361-2213 or my wife, Blake Warren-May, at (812)361-4399. Eric Greulich is a close friend of ours. Thank you.

2403 S Childs CT

Case Date:
9/9/2019

I sent this to the info email address as well, but I noticed an open electric box at the Rock Creek Dr. and Childs Ct. intersection in Sycamore Knolls this morning. This is a heavily trafficked route for children headed to school and seems like a safety issue.

Case Date:

Kidnappers and house buying scams! Now that we have your attention -- please remove these ugly / junk signs for escape rooms and house buying phone numbers from Winslow & Walnut. On the north east corner there are five - count them, five - signs posted on utility poles and next to the road and sidewalk. This is absurd.
