I went to the county library down town, to my surprise to see so many people use it for winter protection. It’s nice to give them somewhere warm and be able to sleep, but it totally lose the purpose of a library. Luckily I took a mask at the entrance, the whole place is so unhealthy.
City plowed snow onto sidewalk. Was cleared prior to this incident, but now cannot remove snow with just a shovel.
The alley behind our leasing office is very icy. Cars are almost running into the buildings when trying to get though the alley. Can we please have someone throw salt throughout the back alley, please? It is bad on all 4 entrance points for the alley. Thank you
The entire next block on East Third (three houses) from my corner (3501 E 3rd) is covered with snow. But WORSE THAN THAT is the steep snow on the corner leading into that block, from the city plows that throw it aside, and it collects and collects. Two days ago I got STUCK in the heavy wet snow on the corner of East Third and Morningside (not my block, but the adjacent one going towards the car dealership) … and I could not move! The snow was so heavy and wet that I couldn’t get out of it! I had to ROLL DOWN INTO MONRINGSIDE DRIVE, then get on my knees, and thank God, finally push my way up with my hands from the ground. I am 76. This was embarassing and dangerous. I notified the Mayor. Her secretary April was gracious and said that I should file a ureport. So this is my report and I’m am MORE UPSET with the city plows and the huge mess left on street corners, than I am upset with my three neighboring houses. Yes, they NEED to shovel their sidewalks. But from what I was told from a Bloomingfoods Manager (Jacob) it is the city’s responsibility to clean the curbs! I don’t drive, so I need to be able to walk when it snows. Check MY DRIVEWAY and my sidewalk. I always shovel or have it shoveled. That is my responsibility. Please check into that block and give them the reminder that they need to hire it done or do it themselves. And please do something about your responsibility on these heavy curbs filled with snow plow snow.
When the city street department was doing some type of digging throughout the Bloomington streets in October , the streetlight in front of the house was disconnected and never hooked back up. The address is 411 North Lincoln street. I called and reported this but nothing has changed - the light is still not connected.
The sidewalk at third and Madison connecting Madison to the b-line trail and crossing the street is currently unshoveled, and road access for handicap individuals on that corner is blocked by plow created embankments. Please have someone come out to shovel and salt these asap as a friend reliant on a mobility scooter in my apartment complex is unable to access groceries/basic needs via the b line trail due to this issue. In addition to this, I’m sure there are more people experiencing this in more spots around the city. I’m not sure what can be done proactively, but is seems that the city has a deep enough well of contractors to subcontract out shoveling/salt on sidewalks critical for access to Bloomington’s disabled population. Thank you for your time!
This is the 3rd time I am reporting this problem. This light works intermittantly, but mostly off. The light in on the south side of the street in the middle of E Wyndam Crt. in front of the empty lot.
IU Health snow removal contractor pushed snow into Discovery Parkway at two locations by the hospital. It's a traffic hazard.
Please clear major sidewalks. Clearance of the roads seems to be a priority, but not the sidewalks if we want to have a city that people can walk around in. We need to clear sidewalks when there is snow otherwise it’s very treacherous and then people will just only drive around, which is not our state of goal for the city
I live in the North Dunn Street area of Bloomington. From the 45/46 Bypass on North Dunn going towards Griffy Lake there is a lot of trash on the sides of the street. Both sides of the street are full of bottles, paper and just general trash. It is especially bad around the stop sign area at Tammarck and the trash continues all the way to Griffy Lake and down to Old 37. Can the city please pick up this unsightly trash? Thank you
