A large homeless camp has been made in the past 24 hours. There are at least 10 people and a large dog. They also have been having fires. The area is at the end of Pinewood Drive on the opposite side of Clear Creek. This is a parkland where volunteers are currently working on the removal of trash and invasive plant species.
The vast majority of cars do not yield to pedestrians looking to cross the street using the crosswalk at the intersection of 3rd and Grant. Oftentimes when a car in one of the lanes yields to a crossing pedestrian, cars in the other lane will not yield and drive straight through the crosswalk when a pedestrian is attempting to cross. My concern is that eventually a pedestrian who thinks they are safe while crossing will be struck by a driver not aware of the law. I think Bloomington PD could generate a lot of revenue from tickets in just one day by having someone monitoring that crosswalk. Putting in a new sign that says the law is to yield could also be a solution.
I visit this area a few times a week and the yard as of late is looking less than appealling. I know 8" is the height limit and i am not sure it's that high but, the yard needs to be addressed. I do not like to complaint but, it is a nice neighborhood and i would like it to stay that way. Thank you.
Pothole near the right side of the northbound lane of kinser pike, around the 3300 block
Pedestrian bridge across the bypass has deteriorated on both sides making it inaccessible for people in Wheels Chairs & Other adaptive equipment. Needs repaired asap for ADA compliance
On the westbound lane, a very deep pothole potentially due to a drain.
Street light across the house (on the School side) is out, and at night is dark.
Trash overflowing from cans. Bags sitting on the ground and into the alleyway. Animals and scavengers have started getting into it and rain is collecting in the open cans creating a stench.
Parking meter on the east side of Washington between seventh and sixth Street is not working in front of apartment number five in the red brick building and green paint
Bike lane illegally blocked on Washington between 3rd and 4th. If only there were a police station nearby!
