Because a flashing light no longer controls this intersection, and because this intersection is dark, the addition of a street light would improve safety for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
This is a recurring problem. In the fall every time it rains, all the leaves come down to the lowest part Park ridge East that's in front of my house. The past 2 years they just come and clear out the actual grate and leave a pile of leaves around it. Which means next time it rains in about 5 minutes the grate will be clogged again. Also they pile the leaves up in my yard and kill my grass. These are not my leaves. They're from the street. Last winter we went around this and you guys ended up having to come with a dump truck after you put them all in the street and then the snow plows put them back in the grates and then they had to be pulled away from the drains and then they got plowed back into the grates and we had a ice shield here where it floods every time it rains more half inch. And I ended up coming with a dump truck and six people and carrying off all the leaves. The Men who cleared it this morning said this isn't the way they would do it if they had their choice. I've called the mayor's office and nobody has called me back. I gave you the day to do that. So now I'm reporting it on Ureport.
The fact that you guys as a city decided hey lets wait until all the thousands of kids are back in school to start doing construction on roads all around bloomington. You had all summer and you decide to do it now, ive been late to work twice and missed a class start because of the atrocious decision making of the city. I am a college student and could have told you that doing it over the summer would have been so much easier on the workers, and residents. Maybe you guys should hire smarter people.

There is a light pole that shines a light directly into my backyard. It disturbs the desire to not have a lot up backyard and house. The light goes through our windows and wakes up my children.
Street light is flashing - looks like a bad bulb at corner of 7th and Morton - been like this for months.
Re: ticket #199303, the strobing light is the decorative pedestrian-scale fixture.
W. 3rd does a dogleg at S. Jackson. NOWHERE within this awkward intersection is there a single streetlight: Not where W. 3rd dead-ends at the Paris-Dunning house, nor along the brief stretch where W. 3rd travels south briefly in concert with S. Jackson, nor where it becomes an independent entity once again and transforms into a One-Way street (although the bicyclists, traveling east along W. 3rd, in counterflow to the automobile traffic, refuse to believe this proclamation!) This seems to be an oversight.
Tent set up on City property. Rats in the area by creek and apartments.
The impact of the recent construction projects on traffic patterns is hard to bear. Could we get some information about why these projects are happening now instead of the summer?
