Potholes where Woodlawn hits 3rd street--dangerous for drivers, bikers, and pedestrians using the crosswalks
I strongly feel there are many streets in Bloomington that are not sufficiently lit and pose danger to drivers and pedestrians. Many side streets off of Third Street Woodlawn, Faculty, Arbutus, Rose, and others have almost no light once you turn off from Third Street. This makes it difficult to see pedestrians and increases the chance of accidents.
The sidewalks between Morningside and Grandview along N. Smith Road are largely unusable with the current snow. Little or no effort has been made to clear the walkways by Duke energy, the apartments, or the Vet hospital.
I live on W Smith Avenue in Bloomington Indiana and this is a brief clip of the construction that continues to go on literally steps outside my apartment. I am shooting this video from just inside my door. I am most concerned with the extreme noise pollution that has to violate the noise ordinance, not to mention the safety hazard and risk management nightmare presented by the fact that less than 5 feet and some yellow caution tape separates my front step and a 15+ foot drop. We have not been contacted by anyone working on this project or any city officials, except that we were notified by our landlord that they afraid that our 'car was going to fall into the hole.' I am hoping that someone with the city will see this video and realize that my home is basically unlivable at this point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhiAFsHppKU&feature=plcp
There's a large (and deep) pothole on the south side of 15th street between the parking lot entrance/exits of Butler Winery and Big Red Liquors.
Line of sight issue for vehicles turning north bound onto Walnut Street from 11th. Bushes in the parking lot make it impossible to see traffic on Walnut until you pull out past the pedestrian crosswalk.
Directly in front of Amrit India Restaurant- sidewalk at large lamp post is broken apart, is uneven, and has ledges that someone could easily trip over
I have been a teacher at the Project School for 3 years now and we are in desperate need of more clear signage that Smith Ave is a one way street going west, especially now that Chocolate Moose has started food truck fridays again. I'm guessing because of the bike lane and the stop sign going East it may confuse drivers, but I think we need paint on the road with arrows and more one way signage.
I seem to remember that when the traffic light was installed on Walnut Street at Smith Avenue it should have only turned red for Walnut when activated by pedestrian or vehicular traffic on Smith Avenue. I don't know if that designation changed or if there is an equipment malfunction, but for the past few weeks the light has been cycling on it's own with no traffic of any kind present on Smith Avenue.
