Street & Traffic Signs
2800-2826 S Rogers St, Bloomington, Indiana, 47403
- Case Date:
- 7/11/2019
If I didn't hit the brakes on time, I would have been hit head on by a pickup truck today. Why? This construction barricade that is negligently placed where it obstructs traffic.
I was heading north on Rogers approaching Country Club Drive in the left turn lane to turn west onto Country Club. Next thing I know, a big pickup truck is fully across the double yellow in my turn lane because the driver was avoiding this construction sign sitting in the south bound lane.
I've had a lot of other times cars have come close to me in the turn lane. This truck was the worst. Considering how much traffic goes south on Rogers despite the construction at Gordon Pike, maybe this sign wouldn't be encouraging bad driving decisions throughout the day. Please move it.

Parking Meters and Citations

I inserted my card and the meter only issues one hour increments. I am downtown for a meeting and I need more time uninterrupted. In front of Buskirk-Chumley.
Parking Permits
501 N Morton ST
- Case Date:
- 7/11/2019
The changes to the Zone 4 parking permits for MCPL staff is a disgraceful lapse of judgement. The city MUST offer alternative parking options for hardworking public servants commuting to the downtown area. If it is too much work to discover a reasonable accommodation then you must relent and return the permits to the MCPL Human Resources department to disseminate amongst staff who need them. To serve the public we have to get to where we serve the public reliably. In the winter, in the rain, in record-breaking heat, and especially during the university's academic year when downtown parking is at its scarcest. To be treated like a problem that will scuttle away in the name of making a little more money on parking meters is folly compounded by blatant cruelty.

This is a part of a sidewalk on Winslow between Henderson and Piccadilly and is on the south side of Winslow. It has been like this for a few years, has been previously reported by me and our HOA at Sherwood Green with nothing done. Many people walk/run/skateboard/bike on this sidewalk. There is a man in a wheel chair who uses this sidewalk. It is particularly hazardous during winter with the ice/snow. Please fix this!
