Residents of this home park their cars on the sidewalk. When I try to use the sidewalk I have to walk in the street with my 3 year old son. Cars coming off of Rogers are not going slow around the turn creating a hazardous environment for people walking.
To Whom It May Concern, this is more of a recommendation than an problem. The pedestrian/bike crossing light on Allen St across Walnut is generally pretty good. Currently, there is a button to activate the lights on the sidewalks and wanted to suggest installing an additional button curbside for bikers. As it's currently constructed the median has two cut-outs so bicyclists can stay in the road (which is where we should be), but activating the light requires we ride up on the sidewalk. Most bikers, myself included, just keep an eye on the road to cross once traffic passes rather than hop the curb to activate the crossing light. The problem arises when a driver decides to yield; it's a nice gesture, but with two lanes of traffic in both directions it isn't safe to cross unless drivers in both lanes decide to yield and it's difficult to see over the stopped car to make sure the second lane is clear. I tend to wave the driver who has yielded to indicate they should just keep going, Bloomington drivers being Bloomington drivers they defer to being polite. A button positioned for bicyclists would make it clearer to both drivers and cyclists when it is safe to cross. This crossing point gets a fair amount of pedestrian and cycle traffic, but I don't think it is enough for a button to disrupt car flow on Walnut.
On the B-Line just north of 6th Street, on Saturday mornings there are a few people who block the B-Line Trail during farmers market hours. They set up this obtrusive wooden platform right on the trail. It causes a lot of congestion for trail users in a very busy part of the B-Line. Can someone enforce rules that prevent people from blocking the trail like this? They can setup their board in the grass or somewhere else that is not impeding safe pedestrian and bicycle use of the pedestrian and bicycle trail (which is not a stage for their private and individual use). Maybe they can show up early enough to sign up to busk in the Farmers Market rather than clogging up the flow of people? Check it out. Saturday mornings, B-Line and 6th. Around 10am you will see the full problem they are causing.
A car has been parked overnight on Maple Street just north of West 7th partially blocking the fire hydrant. Can the city come and repaint the yellow zones on West 7th and Maple? They have not been painted for about five years and are starting to fade. This fire hydrant is the only hydrant to protect multiple houses. Thank you.
Pass will not allow me enter or exit into garage. Charged me $11 dollars to get out today that I need refunded as well.
Scooter parked in the middle of sidewalk accessible ramp
New renters. They have a huge stack of cardboard outside by recycling containers and overflowing recycling containers that they do not put on the curb on recycling day. Their recycling is blowing all over the neighborhood.
Can the timing of this light be assessed during peak commute times? With the hospital now the commuting traffic for this light and N walnut/bypass timing is just far too little to move traffic through.
Uneven concrete sidewalk. Forces wheelchair users, scooters, etc into busy College Ave
