There were a number of street lights on the west side of College Ave not shining Thursday evening, they were all in order and spanned from 17th street north to the intersection at the Bypass where it crosses College.
There is still an intersection light out at the intersection of N Woodburn Ave and 15th street. The lights at the intersections in this residential area are essential for safe walking and driving and crime deterrence because not enough people (myself excluded) do not keep their porch lights on. As a result this area can be extremely dark which provides cover for various activities which might involve crime. I just had a break-in at my back porch door Easter Sunday morning (drunk student who thought he was home, he passed out and urinated all over the floor, police were called) despite motion-controlled lighting at my driveway and 24x7 light at my back porch door. I have had to install a police-dispatched security system as a result. But city lights (what few there are) MUST be checked and maintained. Why can't police patrols notice lights out?? I would like an answer via email. Thank you. Your attention to these matters is usually excellent. I hope it is regarding this matter.
The street light is out near my house and its very dangerous walking home at nigh because its pitch black and cars cannot see anyone walking. The street light is on Jefferson and Roosevelt, by the eigamman parking lot. I would like for this to be fixed as soon as possible to ensure everyones' safety.
The street lights on walnut street, north of 10th are out. It makes it very hard to see the construction barricade on the Westside of Walnut.
Street light is out on the SW corner of E Sheridan Dr and Karen
The street light in front of 4300 E. Jamet Drive seems to have issues with the sensor (maybe the wiring). It goes on and off every few secs.
Police reports have been filed because car robberies have occurred numerous times on Jackson Street. We were hoping to get street lights put in order to maybe reduce the amount of theft in the neighborhood.
I would like to compliment the Parking Enforcement for being able to ticket for an expired meter within 6 minutes of the expiration of the time. I saw the parking officer walking away as I approached. It was almost as remarkable of a job well done as the time this last winter when I received a ticket at 9:46 pm on a weekend night that I was 3 minutes late getting back to my car. the latter ticket was more impressive based on the fact that is was on a dark area of the block and there were no other cars parked on the whole block. That person was making money for the Town to the very end. I am impressed with how the City helps you always want to watch the clock when visiting downtown. Also, the City has renewed my interest in collecting coins. I am also impressed by the subliminal attempt to have people visiting the City to seek out establishments and restaurants that do not have parking meters in front of them. Well done! I also had a complaint I would liked to have lodged about visiting Bloomington downtown but just noticed this compliment box as the only means of communication.. so I just stuck with the compliments!
