The side of S. Park Avenue that lead up to the dead end does not get plowed or salted, making it extremely difficult to get out of our driveway, especially in this deep snow. This is very upsetting because I have now felt unsafe leaving my house due to this problem for the past 4 days. Unacceptable.
Semi driver who delivers to Auto Zone (2437 W. 3rd St.) complained that side street between Auto Zone and JD Byrider is blocked with parked cars on both sides of the street, blocking fire hydrants as well. He can't easily approach the Auto Zone back entrance with his truck and JD Byrider has refused to move parked cars. Is S. Opportunity Lane a city street?
on west side of Madison between 2nd and Howe stones have fallen from a retaining wall and are on the sidewalk
There is a black car that has parked in front of our mailbox for the past 3 days, not allowing for the mail truck to get to our mailbox, resulting in non-delivered mail to our box. I contacted non-emergency who put me through to Parking but had an alarm at work and wasn't able to leave a message. We are located on the cul-de-sac end of Hickory Grove Lane.
Caller states that the sidewalk on the east side of High Street from Arden to Childs Elementary School has bushes that are growing over onto the sidewalk also has low hanging branches that you have to duck under. She suggests that the inspector walk to sidewalk to determine the problem areas. Also a couple of places where there is a lot of crushed stone on the walk. Please call her with results.
Tree blocking Ballantine just north of Sheridan
Smith and Buckner: car parked in yard and partially on the sidewalk the yard generally looks junky and you can see a panel van parked on the lawn if you look south from the northern alley
Sidewalks on Adams from Woodhill north to the end of the neighborhood and on W. Allen from Adams 1/2 way to Larkspur and very over grown with weeds and brush.
Threre is a fence that extends into the alley.
On May 23, 2021, at 5:30 am I was driving south on N Rogers to deliver my brother to Bloomington Hospital for surgery. At about 9th street (at the B line trail) I ran directly into a curb that juts out into the road. It was dark out and raining, and this road obstruction was poorly lit and not marked with a reflector ot in any other way. I ruined an almost new tire and will surely need an alignment. We walked the rest of the way to the hospital, in the dark and rain, because we couldn’t get a cab and time was short. Going back in the daylight I see that the southbound lane makes a jog to the center to accommodate this jutting out curb. Going south the right most lane becomes a parking lane, but there were no cars at all parked there so this was not apparent when approaching from the north. In the daylight this configuration is easy to see, but not in the dark and rain. I’ve enclosed a photo taken from in front of Carpenter Realty showing how dramatically this curb juts out into the road. I have other photos that I will try to send separately. (I think this report is limited to one photo. ) Two of my photos show show that the jutting out curb is blackened from tires and scared from wheel rims that preceded me into this trap. If I had a tire store I would open a branch in the big parking lot just south of Carpenter and stay open through the night. Besides reconfiguring this lane transition there are several easy solutions: - Light this curb better. - Put a reflector on it. - use a “ramp” or “transition” curb, as we see at all the new roundabouts.
