Workers appearing to interact with the fencing along 1st st at the site of the old hospital frequently park in the blind spot just beyond the hill traveling west bound with no signage or people directing traffic.
many limbs hanging down on sidewalk along hilleside dr this location
There’s a bush on the property of 2127 E 5th St (at the corner of 5th and Jefferson St) that obstructs motorists’ view when turning north onto Jefferson St from 5th St. Since this intersection does not contain a 4-way stop sign, there have been several times I have almost gotten into a collision with an oncoming vehicle going south when making that turn simply because I cannot see them around that bush.
Drivers who have the right away in the intersection, traveling East or West bound, do not know the stop signs have been removed and is now only a two way stop. Drivers will sit in the intersection confused for 2-5 minutes at a time, when they could continue their travel given the right away. There needs to be some sort of signage to signal that east and westbound traffic does not need to stop at the intersection.
Summit Pointe apartment retention pond walkway has 2 overhanging tree branches that have fallen or are now overhanging one by the tennis court and one on the opposite side of the pond near dog park. concern for pedestrian injury from uncleared/unsecured branches.
Invasive plants (bush honeysuckle?)on NW corner of property along Cottage Grove have grown out so far that the sidewalk is almost unusable. A wheelchair could probably not easily navigate it without getting stuck in the grass of the ROW. Should be trimmed back to property line, at least.
The traffic management by the company doing construction at the intersection of Henderson and Winslow is really frustrating. I know disruption is expected with construction, however, I would expect: 1. some clear signage, both in advance (there's nothing on Henderson/Walnut Pike)) as well as directing traffic (literally construction guys pointing fingers at this large, busy intersection with multiple turn lanes. Not effective or safe. And they have the audacity to yell at some of the cars not listening to their unclear pointing). 2. I would expect some respect to get traffic through when they can. I sat there for 10 minutes this morning when there was multiple instances where they were in between tasks and could have let us go for a few minutes, but they kept us waiting.
Street lines and signs not enough to avoid a head on collision. Temporary lines are not sticking to pavemnet. Have seen motorists make north-flow clairizz a 2 lane one way.
Sidewalk project is complete, but the large signage was left behind. See west side (front lawn) of property along Grant.
This pedestrian intersection of the B-line and rogers NEEDS A STOP SIGN FOR TRAFFIC! I have been hit by a car here once already, and have been nearly hit several times after that, despite wearing high-vis safety gear and having 6 total lights(including in-rim wheel lights for side visablitiy). I see cars fly through this cross walk at full speed, everyday. I cycle to work every day as well, and often cross here. The angle at which the intersection happens makes it hard for cars to see if bikes or pedestrians are coming from certain directions. There are currently only 2 stop signs on the entire B-line trail where cars MUST stop for pedestrians(which is a clear safety oversight for a town claiming to be bike friendly), and this spot absolutely needs one as well. ALSO, speaking of stop signs on the B-line, you should place an undercover traffic cop at the intersection of the B-line and 7th where there is an actual stop sign, and you'll be ticketing every other person since they nearly all do rolling "stops" at this cross walk. I nearly got hit by a huge black SUV last week and had to yell at the dumb cunt driving who didn't stop at all and just drove right through the crosswalk with me rapidly approaching, all my lights on, high-vis motorcycle helmet and everything, she sees me and just keeps going... seriously, I have no doubt in my mind that if you had an officer watching that intersection they'd get their ticket quota in a day, easy. It's time Bloomington puts its money where its mouth is and does something about the safety of the B-line crosswalks.
