I moved into 340 S Grant St on August 20th and we have only had recycling come once which was 3 weeks ago. I have also noticed that the other residents on grant street have not had their recycle bins emptied for three weeks as well. I have looked at the scheduled days that recycling is supposed to come during the week and we have put out our bin on those respective days, but our recycling has yet to be completed.
Transient overnight sleeping in hammock on east side of B-Line, across from intersection of Smith & Morton, next to parking lot of Monroe Convention Center.
Walking my dog on the Bline last night I encountered this person’s vehicle parked inappropriately. The driver was likely drinking cider or shooting pool. I wonder if it was backed nearly onto the trail or driven off 2nd and down the trail before pulling off.
The snow on the B-line crossing the convention center parking lot alley is completely compacted to a sheet of ice. Can this be salted to be safer for bikers and pedestrians?
Almost all lights out on street
Patterson Drive, especially at the Intersection with W Third Street/Isaac Drive, is covered with snow and there is zero visibility of the road lines or even where curbs are. I have watched cars slide due to lack of salt on the roads and I have watched cars run over curbs and unintentionally drive on the sidewalk because you can’t see where the road is especially at night. My car shown in the image was parked along Patterson (public Bloomington parking zone, not private lot) before the snow came, so that can be used as a reference for where the road is. If snow will continue to heavily fall, making plowing difficult, could reflective traffic cones be placed to outline where the curbs are for drivers to see even when snow is covering the roads? This intersection proves to be a relatively common spot for accidents even in daylight during the Summer, so I am especially worried for the winter months. The driving path to get from the intersection into the gas station also is in poor condition, but that may be private property (meaning, it is the responsibility of the gas station to clear the snow). Thank you :)
Holes in northbound lane need patched
Large (maybe 5' by 3') hole in the street was recently filled with asphalt, but the new asphalt lies below the level of the road at the edge of the hole. The bump is quite harsh to drive over
Is First Street open between Rogers and College? There are barricades but it seems like they move every day, And there are vehicles often doing u turns or trying to turn onto a street that is closed. Feels like there needs to be some better signage so people know what's going on.
