Traffic Suggestions

The bike lane dividers on 3rd Street are very dangerous. Instead of parking all along the bike lane, where cyclists have a chance to filter into the main traffic lanes to get around cars, cars are parking right where the dividers end, and cyclists cannot jump the dividers to get into the main lane of traffic, so cyclists have to slam on their brakes in a bike lane full of gravel to avoid rear ending the cars. Please consider extending these dividers all the way to Indiana Ave, and make them curbable for buses in the areas where buses need to pick people up.

For the last several weeks this hold in the ground has been open, with an abandoned shovel and hazard tape surrounding it. I don't think this is the responsibility of the homeowner, because this was left this way by the work crew that was installing fiber optic cable. It is on the block just south of the intersection with Atwater.

Sewer backup yielded that Fiber Optic company damaged line between city's sewer line and my lateral line causing major back-up twice between October, 2024 and January 2025. I've spoken with Paul Edwards and Kyle Baugh about this. All Plumbing Todd Braner has been here several times. I have many bills related to this problem from Mann Plumbing, Commercial Service, and CORE Restoration and need to know how and where to submit these bills. I have spent well over $7,000 for plumbers and clean up crews to deal with flooding of sewage to my bathroom seeping under walls into hallway and bedroom. Please advise as to how to be reimbursed for these expenses caused by the failure of the City of Bloomington and/or the Fiber Optic company.

Cylindrical hole about 4" radius drilled into street by fiber-optic workers and left unfilled. Dangerous area because there are no sidewalks along at that location, so people are forced to walk on the street. Hole is closest to SW corner of intersection. Ankle-breaker!

Duke Energy has refused to remove a large orange cable that is down on the length of my property (3/4 of an acre). They say someone else needs to take care of it, like maybe a cable company. I am concerned that it is dangerous to kids in my neighborhood and I cannot do yard work around it. Moreover, it is in the utility easement. They said to pick it up and see if it is attached to the utility line and I am unwilling to do that because it seems risky. In any case, no utility should be leaving their waste on my property and they should take responsibility for removing it safely.

Made a left onto Lincoln from 4th toward Kirkwood 3-13-25 , probably about 12:15. Yellow paint spill from 4th to Kirkwood. Didn’t think a Lot about it. Thought it was dried. Looked like paint for lining the roads. Stopped at the grocery. Raised yellow paint on my tires, wheel wells and some on the bottom of the car.
