Bicycle rack subsidies, I have heard the city of Bloomington offers subsidies for businesses to install bike racks?
missing pedestrian sign on BLine.
My wife and I were out on a neighborhood walk on N Blue Ridge Dr. and had just crested the rise and were then on the descent when we noticed a small dark sedan accelerating very aggressively up the hill towards us. There is no sidewalk in this area, so we were walking northbound facing traffic on the edge of the road. The driver, a white male, with a full beard (brown or red hair) was not showing any effort to divert away from us. I raised both my arms and was waiving my hands to make sure he saw us. He continued accelerated up the hill going maybe 40 MPH passing way too close to us. I yelled at him at he flew by “SLOW. DOWN”! He paid no heed to us and abruptly turned left up East Blue Ridge Dr. hill. We continued down the hill and were walking along the sidewalk on Ramble Rd West when this same individual and vehicle came by at a high rate of speed and flipped us off with his left hand. Later in our walk I saw what appeared to be the same vehicle parked at the residence of 304 East Blue Ridge Dr. photo attached. This individual is a hazardous driver and there are way too many people that walk this neighborhood for him to be driving the way he does.
Still waiting on this to completed ( #213643 ) Overgrowth between Madison Park and the Bline trail
Vegetation overhanging sidewalk. West side of College Mall Road, just north of Covenanter.
A city sidewalk that is overgrown with weeds and sticks that needs to be cleared.
Gravel overflowing from tree plot into 7-line and sidewalk. This photo is at the parking lot for 215 N Washington St, but the problem exists along the whole block between walnut and washington. This is my 3rd report of this exact problem. Most recently, #205849. One of the property managers keeps adding more gravel even though it has been overflowing for several years already. The mythical street sweeping did not even remove the gravel already in the 7 line! It certainly cannot do anything about the continuin flow of gravel. Historical photos on google street view show that the properties on the eastern half of the block did not used to have loose gravel -- this is a new development and not grandfathered in. Regardless of what the original zoning mistake was, OVERFLOWING WAS NEVER AUTHORIZED. and: IF PLANNING CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, ENGINEERING AND PW HAVE AN AFFIRMATIVE DUTY TO MAINTAIN A SAFE ROW REGARDLESS OF THE FAILURES OF P&T. thanks!
Sidewalk and stairs coming up the hill from the goat farm on the South side of Winslow road is frequently overgrown and hard to walk on. The brush between the street and sidewalk needs to be extensively cleaned out and frequently gets like this. Could you please clean it up and figure out a long term fix going forward? This is a critical walkway to the park and school for multiple neighborhoods. Thanks!
Due to the fast and reckless driving from the students in our neighborhood from Atlas on 17th, I have almost been hit two times while walking. I am asking for speed bumps and road signs/speed limit signs to help with this issue.
