Malcolm Abrams and I own the bungalow housing the Bloom Magazine office at 414 W 6th Street. The alley to our west (when facing the building) sees a surprising amount of traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian due in part to the location of the County probation department's testing office just north of us along the alley. The alley surface is in poor condition with ruts and uneven patches. The utilities department is in the process of repairing and resurfacing a portion of our lot and alley due to water line damage from AEG fiber installation. I've been told that the city will pave some well-used alleys when in disrepair. I'm wondering whether this alley would qualify particularly given that the paving equipment will be onsite already. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Traffic backups on 17th have been really bad recently. The backups start from College/Walnut in both directions. Westbound traffic is sometimes backed up to somewhere between Lincoln & Dunn, and eastbound traffic is sometimes backed up to somewhere between Madison & Maple. This occurs at various times per day, not just at rush hour. Last night at 7:45pm it took me ~10 minutes to get from Grant to College. It also causes problems for drivers turning from College/Walnut onto 17th because the traffic already on 17th St has it gridlocked between College & Walnut. I don't know what has happened recently with construction, detours, light syncing, etc., but it's really bad and wasn't like this last school year.

All streetlights are out on S Washington St. from E Third St. to at least E Smith. It is very dark and worrisome at night; there is very low visibility when I walk home. One of the posts has electrical wiring coming out of it. Many streetlight posts show damage. I first brought this issue up with Duke Energy and they said the City of Bloomington maintains this stretch of lights.

Traffic along 17th St (in both directions) has been backed up during rush hour for a couple of weeks. The problem stretches from Dunn St to Monroe St. The worst is at the College and Walnut lights. People can’t turn on 17th because of the back up and are then blocking traffic. Please help, thanks!

The south side of West Allen Street has always been no-parking any time, but recently more and more vehicles are parking on the southside and blocking traffic. Our signs that show it's no parking are faded and spaced about three houses apart. I didn't know if the signs need to be updated or we need more signs, or does more enforcement is need to solve this issue before it gets much worse. Thank you for any help you can provide.

The street light at Rogers and Kirkwood has been horrible since they did construction last year (or whenever it was, I don't know how long ago). It takes forever to change, always turns out the green turn left turn light even if no one is turning. It makes me avoid the light and drive through the neighborhood, which I'm sure is frustrating to people in the neighborhood as I can't be the only one doing that. Combined with the no (right) turn on red at this light, it's extremely frustrating, especially at night when no one is around. Thank you.
