The light at West Tapp Road and South Deborah Drive consistently changes to red for the cars on Tapp and remains red for an extended period of time, even when there are no pedestrians or cars coming from Deborah. This happens often enough to where over 50% of my drives have an extended period of waiting at this light, leading to increased fuel consumption, brake wear, and frustration.
The active construction sites on both Second St and West Kirkwood are causing dangerous traffic flow concerns on Howe St. Traffic that would normally take those routes is now all flowing onto Howe St, which is a two-way street with only one-lane traffic flow, and street parking. Typically, Howe St. is not very active except for local traffic. However, traffic flow is nearly continuous from both directions. Today in particular, (8/17) there has been non-stop traffic flow and I have seen several almost collisions and cars are speeding very fast down the road from both directions. I would highly suggest resolving some of the active construction sites in the area so they are not all occurring simultaneously, or alleviate traffic flow issues by planning better detours. In multiple locations on this side of town, many detour signs simply re-route you to another active construction area. Definitely a safety issue as this is a small neighborhood with pets and pedestrians walking the streets most of the time, and most local homeowners are limited to street parking. Additional construction has also recently been added to 1st street, and S Rogers st also adding to the issue.
CBU recently replaced a pipe at Broadview and Graham. They filled in the hole and topped it , but now the repair is sinking below road depth and seems to be getting a bit deeper daily. It's becoming a traffic hazard.
Landscaping in front of this house and others in the area hang well over the sidewalk. This restricts walkability of the sidewalk and makes for dangerous ingress to the roadway, as it prevents the ability to see down Hillside Dr without inching out into the roadway to see past.
The light at this intersection turns red when there are no cars sitting at the light on Deborah. Tapp is the main road the the light should remain green unless a car trips the signal from Deborah. Please consider changing this light from a timed light to a car tripped light. Let the traffic flow continue on Tapp.
The alley behind the Boys & Grils Clubs, between Lincoln and Grant is absolutely awful with deep potholes and broken pavement. While some of this damage is part of the 53-08-04-203-024.000-009 lot owned by Shivam Properties LLC, there is significant damaged pavement owned by the City of Bloomington. I have had the misfortune of traveling down this alley twice in recent months, and each time I was concerned I was going to pop a tire.
Neighbor from 1203 S Fess repeatedly trespassing into 1205 S Fess and leaving dog waste from 3 large black dogs. Witnessed yesterday 16AUG26 the woman and child with defecating dog (#1) and peeing dog (#2) deep in my yard without cleaning it up. Third dog in yard but I didn't witness waste. I politely confronted them asking them to clean up. She returned and attempted to clean up. This morning 17AUG26 the man and dog(s) trespassing, leaving dog waste which I have on video, still image attached. It's bad enough that their property floods into mine and their numerous waste piles smell and leech into my area, but it's not ok that they are trespassing and leaving waste.
There are two utility box covers that have improper covers on them near the athletic fields. The lids are rotten and soft and will not support a person's weight. They also flip open when stepped on. This is a serious safety issue that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
Overgrown yard and side yard.
