A resident on the south side of Pine Meadows Drive asked me if there was anything that could be done about the brightness of the lights at the intersection of Rockport and Country Club. He said the light was really bright in his backyard, and that it was frustrating. I couldn't think of who to reach out to, but I was wondering if there was any way something could be added to shield the extra light that is apparently beaming into his backyard? I know lighting the intersection is important, but hopefully there is a way to light the intersection without lighting up his backyard. Thanks!

I'd like to report a man-made pothole on the westbound side of Tapp Rd just after you pass through the intersection of Rockport/Tapp. This intersection is brand new and there is a manhole that is installed 2-3 inches below the street surface. The road has a curvature but the manhole is countersunk flat creating a man-made pothole. It wouldn't be so bad except it is in the direct line of tire travel coming out of the intersection. and if you swerve to miss it you're perfectly set up to hit the next manhole, which isn't as bad, but still this is a brand new intersection. I have also observed multiple people swerving into the oncoming lanes turning lane to miss this manhole which creates a whole other hazard. Please have someone fix this issue. With today's low profile tires I'm sure it's already wiped out a few rims.

Workers installing optic fiber cable in the neighborhood have left tools, trash, and a 15-20 foot pipe in our yard. We picked scattered stuff up but can't do anything with the tubing and pipe.

Traffic from 5:00 - 6:30 on Banta is very dangerous due to lack of sidewalks and cars attempting to bypass traffic on W Country Club by driving up Banta, turning left onto Ralston, then turning to Rockport, then West onto Country Club. This leads to cars driving very fast up Banta. I would have submitted this as a "Close Call," as I was nearly hit twice. Once while pulling into my driveway, and again while picking up my mail. I believe a 4-way stoplight, with preference for W. Country Club, would be a good solution to the current 4-way stop sign which I believe generates these patterns. If there were no advantage to cutting through the neighborhood, the number of people doing so would decrease. Another solution would be to position speed cameras, or police officers to identify reckless drivers and begin ticketing more extensively in the neighborhood. However, those solutions are more temporary.

My son, Jeff Shew, lives at this address. He has contacted the city about having the side of the road mowed. His driveway is on a hill and there is no visibility coming out of the driveway. Saturday when I left this address, I had to inch my way out into the roadway to see if anyone is coming. Luckily for me, the car coming, which I could not see, slammed on their brakes and narrowly missed hitting me. Will it take an accident or death to get the city to trim this area????!!!! Please address the issue immediately and get back to me.

I have a 10 year daughter and a 12 year old son. There are many younger kids in this neighborhood one of which has autism. Many cars throughout the day and night drive too fast around the curve on this road. I'm afraid that a child will be hit by a car. It would be great if a speed bump could be installed here since speed limit signs are not being adhered to.

We have noticed since we moved to Hoosier Street in South Bloomington about two years ago that it is increasingly difficult to turn out from our street not only during peak driving hours, but increasingly so throughout the day. In addition to it being difficult it is also quite dangerous. There are several reasons for this. First, being the high volume of vehicles on walnut which is two lanes in this area. There is also a large hill north of the intersection which makes it difficult to see traffic coming south on Walnut. In addition at the bottom of the hill heading south the speed limit increases from 30 to 40mph. As a result motorists start to accelerate coming down the hill before the speed limit sign and shortens the amount of time to pull onto walnut. Finally, if turning left off Walnut onto Hoosier or Ridgeview is increasingly dangers as other motorists will drive around the turning driver. This could be prevented by painting lines, putting in curbs, etc. Today we had a multiple car crash that resulted in our neighbors mother going to the hospital. I'm frankly am surprised that it has taken this long to occur. This intersection is a ticking time bomb. We are always nervous turning into our street that we will get rear ended and turning out onto Walnut at some parts of the day is impossible. Additionally we live on a dead end street. When we go for a walk to get to a side walk or a local park we have to cross Walnut with no crosswalk and no traffic signal to stop traffic. This intersection is completely in accessible and cuts off our street from the rest of the the neighborhoods in the area. It would be great to allow the young families with children and pets on our street to be able to safely access walkable neighborhoods and city parks. Please consider making changes to this dangerous intersection for the safety of the city's citizens.
