Pulling out of this alley either direction onto Woodlawn is a hazard, especially for pedestrians and bicyclists. To the right (on Subway/apartment bldg. side) is shrubbery that completely blocks the view of the sidewalk and street. Approaching it from the alley, we can't see if any vehicles or pedestrians are approaching from the north, traveling south. To the left of the alley is a rental house that has a shrub or tree or some other type of greenery that hangs far enough forward that we can't see what's approaching from the south, traveling north. We must ease our vehicles out into the street in order to see what's coming on Woodlawn in either direction. If we're turning right (to head north) when we ease out into the street for visibility, when we see that it's clear to turn onto Woodlawn it forces the front half of the vehicle to swing into the southbound lane. The shrub to the right of the alley (Subway building) needs to be trimmed drastically or removed altogether for safety's sake since the view of pedestrians and vehicle/bicycle traffic is completely blocked. And the tree/bush on the other side of the rental house to the left needs to be trimmed back enough for visibility. This alley is used daily by many. It contains IU parking spaces and parking for residential rental property, and U.S. Mail vehicles travel it daily for delivery. A colleague reported this to the city last year and nothing came of it.

I called over 30 days ago to notify you the city owned trees between our property and the street are blocking the line of sight getting out of our driveway. Since that phone call, there have been 3 near-misses by vehicles I could not see. Our address is 4000 S Jamie Lane. This needs to be taken care of ASAP.
Thank you,

Hello,
I am wondering if City can install "Hidden Drive" sign on E 10th street in front of my house, 3950 E 10th street, Bloomington IN 47408. Especially, westbound on 10th would be ideal with caution sign because drivers are really fast and it is dangerous to pull car in and out from my house. If there is a sign, I hope drivers will be caution.
Thank you.

This is an unacceptable reply and will be discussed at the next City Council open meeting.
The acceptable reply would have been that the report had been forwarded to INDOT.

This is INDOT work the City was not notified about.

There is a person by CVS on North Walnut who is shining a light or something that causes a person to have severe vision problems momentarily. This has happened to me several times. I see something like stars for several minutes and then it goes away. I prefer not to give my name, but this is something I have experienced several times in this area while out walking. This is causing a major safety concern and is a severe disturbance. I believe there is a person doing this or a person is programming a piece of technology to do this. I've been the victim of several assaults in Bloomington besides this specific problem.

2 things: 1) Along Indiana Ave.between E.Kirkwood and alley behind Noodles intersection (@ Indiana), there is poor line of site where the sidewalk next to construction site meets the alleyway. Pedestrians are not visible until motorists or cyclists are directly in front of red fence tarp.
2) Street lights on green poles at same location and inside the red fence tarp have not been working for months. This makes for a very dark walk along red tarp after 5:30 pm
