Follow up to uReport #214330, 214331, 214332: Foam squares have been put into place, but they are not accessible due to large gaps between them.
A previous uReport was associated with an incorrect address. Case #214220 is listed under 508 N Lincoln St, but the correct address for the problem is a couple houses south, on the SE corner of 9th and Lincoln Streets. However, HAND has previously said that it is ok that this property creates a problem for pedestrians and drivers. See https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=212816
TO: City of Bloomington City Council, Bloomington Engineering Department, Bloomington Planning Department RE: Placement of No Parking signs in the Matlock Heights Neighborhood COMPLAINT: The City of Bloomington has imposed an unneeded restriction. This restriction imposes a 24/7/365 ban on parking in my neighborhood and on the street in front of my house. The only days there is any parking problem at all is during football games with the top attendance. This complete ban to cover a handful of gamedays is extreme. In my personal case, no parking means that I have to park across the street and down aways, because across the street from me is an intersection. No parking there. And a fire hydrant. A driveway. No parking there. This means I have to cross the street with every load of groceries or anything I am bringing into my house, making it way more inconvenient and way more dangerous. I have been told that the fire department enforced this plan because when cars are parked on both sides of the street, emergency vehicles can’t get through. I want to point out that the residents in the neighborhood rarely park on the street. Everyone has at least a driveway, if not some kind of covered parking. The problem of cars parking on both sides of the street does not exist, except on those few game days.
Adding a no parking sign is even worse than not having one. There is already a terrible parking situation for the residents at Atlas on 17th. Bloomington’s parking situation is terrible and students are forced to park wherever and hope they aren’t getting a ticket. At least make it a pay to park so that some could still park there.
Following up on Case #214455 After speaking to Iris last Friday, who suggested I also file this report with INDOT using their INDOT 4 U system due to the complicated nature of the roads related to this issue, I did so on 9/25/26. I'm attaching here a screenshot of the quick response I received, also on 9/25/26, from Lisa Wisely, Customer Satisfaction Manager. Case 01312208 is now considered 'resolved' through INDOT. Thank you Kyle in advance for your assistance!
Sidewalk along Weimer Road is getting covered in overgrown trees and brush really bad. Screenshot of map shows area better than map here. Would be greatly appreciated if someone could get this area cleared for walking :)
Along the sidewalk and next to a utility pole is a plate on the ground installed by the fiber optic company. At the SE corner of the plate there is a gap between it and the dirt, large enough for a small shoe or animal to step into and be injured.
Requesting autistic child area signs. We live at the corner of Sheffield and Park Ridge, the stop sign is frequently ran. My son is 11 and has autism. He is non verbal and a high risk for elopement. My hope is these signs would slow drivers down and encourage them to stop should my son ever elope.
Another junction box that needs repair or replacement. On High Street just outside the cemetery wall, near the intersection with Moore's Pike.
