Request a new Street Light
305 E SOUTHERN DR

- 12/4/2024
There are no street lights and this is a very transient dangerous street. I feel extremely unsafe. The drug activity here years ago, seems to have returned.

The streetlight at this location has a worsening flicker and the casing of the lightsource appears to be gone. This is about 16 yards or so north from the crosswalk on the west side of Walnut St., directly across from MCREA & MCREA on the east side of the street.
Discarded Bird-scooters on eastside. Around 5 of them. See pic.

We left our recycling bin out as usual for our recycling day today. When the truck arrived we were inside but heard an unusually loud bang. When we went out an hour or so later, our recycling bin was nowhere to be seen. We suspect it somehow got stuck on the truck or "eaten" by it? How do we get it back or replaced? Thank you.
I park on 6th street between Morton and College 5 days out of the week as I work on the square. About 60% of the time the meter will read my card as declined which causes me to move spots or try to find change to fill up the meter. I had to move 3 times on 12/2 because the first meter was blank, I was told to move and when I did that meter declined my card so I moved again and that one took my card. The same issue happened today but I didn’t have a space to move to so I put in what change I had, went into where I work and got 4 more quarters and put those in and then proceeded to do the pay by phone via a guest on the app to add the needed 6.5 hours. My confirmation email told me I had until 7:03pm but the amount paid total should have went until about 8:30pm. With no guarantee of not getting a ticket, my coworker went down and put enough in to go until 8:58pm just to be safe. So a total of almost $16 to park for 8.5 hours. The meters not working properly is a continued issue for me. I have lived in Bloomington my entire life and I’ve worked downtown for 4 years always using metered parking. It wouldn’t be a big deal to me if this didn’t happen to me multiple times a week. I call every so often to inform the city of Bloomington parking about the issues I have and I’m usually told there is no way to prevent getting a ticket even if the order is put in, I just have to contest the ticket with hopes it will be dismissed. It is just frustrating to me because I always pay and I’m more often than not completely inconvenienced or late to work trying to deal with the issues with the meter. It’s just disappointing as a life resident here that has to use that parking every day. I’m hoping this reaches someone that can try to address some of these issues.
On Walnut Street between 4th St and Kirkwood Ave, there is a handicap parking sign that is laying on the ground in our landscaping. We wanted you all to be aware that it was there if it needed placed anywhere in particular.
This is a terrible four way stop as you cannot see cars coming out of Eagleview Dr due to the obstructions of trees and retaining walls.
