photo taken on east side of rogers, facing north at about 10th street. all 3 of the orange signs here (warning about construction near 16th and rogers) are fully blocking the sidewalk. thats a violation of state law. i respect that full compliance is difficult but *it is not optional*. if it is impossible to provide service for cars without blocking the sidewalk, local ordinance says the sidewalk takes priority! you *must* close the road entirely to drivers if the only alternative is to block the sidewalk on both sides.

this photo is facing north on rogers at 11th street. there are several flaws in the MOT for this project at about 16th and rogers. 1) the sidewalk is closed on the left (west) side, and conpletely obstructed on the right side by a caution sign for motorists (state law says you cannot obstruct bike lanes or sidewalk for temporary signs), so both sidewalks are blocked! 2) the west sidewalk was closed a full 24 hours before any work was begun, including overnight! 3) the west closure is for half a mile between 11th and 17th, but the work only covers about 200ft of this distance. that's insane! people live on both sides of the street and we need local pedestrian access!! thanks!

SECOND REQUEST This is a follow-up to my request from yesterday (M, OCT 26): "Blocked Sidewalk: Other: White Volvo SUV is blocking my driveway access and my visibility by parking on the amber/yellow line - dangerous situation by blocking exit visibility. Thank you. -ecb 10/26-2026" This same vehicle is still parked in front of my house (404 E 1st Street) in the yellow/amber line, un-ticketed. My u-report ticket #215216 states that it was resolved but to me it is not resolved if the car is still blocking the driveway exit. I have filed u-reports for this type of incident on the weekends and was told that you (parking authority) do not come out on weekends. Now, I have made the request on a weekday (Monday) and the issue still does not get resolved. Can you please tell me how to proceed with a blocked driveway? This Volvo has been parked here since Sunday, OCT 25, 2026. Thank you, ecb 10-27-2026

There is a big dumpster on the side of the road. I thought it was against city ordinance to have dumpsters on public Street and it’s making it impossible for us to park and drive through the area at night.

Work is being done in front of the animal shelter to widen the sidewalk. It looks amazing. The trouble is using the detour while this work is going on. It’s very hard/unsafe to cross the street there and is very unsafe to use the road. Tuesday October 13th I was able to use the detour to get to my destination. On my way home I was not, after 5pm. They blocked it while I was at my destination.

Lyft/Bird e bike left in front of wheelchair ramp blocking sidewalk making it impossible for the visually impaired, wheelchairs, canes, walkers, baby trollies, families holding hands with toddlers, grocery carts, etc to access sidewalk. While, yes, carrying nothing I can step around, I am speaking up for neighbors who cannot, and because this isn't an instance of just one sidewalk being blocked, but constantly walking around town and seeing multiple blocked sideways because of these rental scooters and bikes. Often, the people hired to charge them like to leave them in auspicious places while ignoring the needs of disabled community members or those who need full access to ramps and sidewalks. These neighbors could fall trying to steer into the grass or mud. Not sure how a city like Bloomington is supposed to regulate something like this. Been an epidemic ever since they were introduced, and those delivery bots around campus also expect people to just go around. They just stop in the middle of the sidewalk delivering Chipotle or whatever flashing 8-bit heart-shaped eyes at you like, "Go around me!" Well, some friends and Bloomington neighbors literally can't. [end rant] Thank you, HAND and city of Bloomington. Let's keep our town safe and civil.
