For HAND: this is my annual complaint about the shrubs in front of 401 S High Street. They are starting to encroach on the sidewalk again so that it will be hard for someone with a stroller to pass that part of the sidewalk. And once someone is in the neighborhood, they may want to check out the south-west corner of the Second and High Street intersection. Weeds are starting to creep up the sidewalk there as well. Thanks!
The newfangled pedestrian signals at 10th and Jordan have not worked for days.
Neighbor repeatedly parks in alley, blocking safe flow of traffic (1st alley between Wylie and Dodds, off Rogers) Repeatedly asked not to block alley, but continues to do so.
I'm helping a person with a sick fish online in the forum on my website, and we're trying to evaluate the quality of water. I've looked at the water reports, and although I see carbon, which obviously indicates alkalinity, there's no mention of calcium, magnesium or no mention of pH. Can you help us? Thanks so much.
Two large potholes for a long time on the entrance road to Kroger/Big Red off College Mall Rd.
On 2 separate occasions I have approached the Sare/Rogers roundabout from the south side to find someone driving towards me on the roundabout, going the wrong direction. Both drivers were older ladies, and may have been confused by the signage as they approached the roundabout. Is there someone who can look at the signs and see if something is confusing. If I've seen this happen twice, how many more times has it happened when I wasn't there? And when is someone going to be killed because of it?
My husband and I want to PRAISE Kriste Lindberg on her tours of Goose Pond, Leonard Springs, and Showers-Miller Parks. Most informative and enjoyable--thanks!!!!
Hi, there. Not sure who to send this to, so I'm hoping you can forward it on. First, I recently came across this idea of closing streets (temporarily) to allow kids to play. I think it would be amazing to see something like this in Bloomington. http://www.reading.gov.uk/residents/community-and-living/play-streets/ Secondly, I took my three year old to Touch a Truck this year. What a wonderful event! We had a blast. He has been every year of his life, but this was the first time I was able to go with him. I wanted to give my feedback about the amount of candy at the event. It seems like it was everywhere and several other moms I talked to were really upset about it (especially since a lot of it was hard candy or really chewy stuff that can be a choking hazard for very young children). I think the trucks are the main event and the kids are so excited to see them. Adding candy to the mix just complicates things unnecessarily. Personally, I was really surprised to see the giant colors of fruit drinks (which I assume were donated by Pepsi). It was SO hot outside. I had forgotten our water bottles and really would have loved a drink of cold water. Our kids don't drink fruit drinks, so we just waited until we left and got water bottles elsewhere. But I would hope that Parks & Rec is all about encouraging healthy bodies, right? Maybe Pepsi could bring some water next year. Thanks.
The street light on the right hand corner of the cul d sac appears to have been hit and has bent and fallen over into our tree. I'm not sure if it is city maintained light...the association said it is not responsible for it.
The pedestrian crosswalk buttons are not working properly at the intersection of 10th & Jordan this morning. In particular, the westbound crossing button on the southeast corner did not activate the pedestrian crossing light through several cycles at approx. 9:10am. I didn't confirm, but it looked like other buttons/directions were having similar problems. Was working fine yesterday.
