Is there a way to level Allen St from the stop sign back about 50 feet at the Bloomfield Rd intersection? The slope causes accidents and near accidents. We've had 3 cars in our yard since we've been there. We've had to fix up the chain link fence best we could. In 2 situations, our gas meter was hit, which is a serious hazard. Alternatively, could Bloomfield Rd be made inaccessible from Allen St (either a one way or block it off)? Thank you for reading this. Sincerely, Theo
Blocked Street

A construction sign is completely blocking the bicycle lane on a very busy street with speeding drivers. The sign was originally used to warn about road construction. But that construction was complete more than a week ago. All of the past week the lane has still been blocked. Why does the city not fine the contractor for this negligence?
The contractor also left a significant about of debris in the bicycle lane between the sign and 17th street. Why does this happen? Does the city really care about bicycle safety?

This is a continuation of #185394, which was never resolved - because their is still a significant amount of construction debris in the bicycle lane. That ticket and this ticket have the same address at the top.

My daughter and 3 of her friends live in close proximity to the house in the photo. I understand freedom of speech and expression, but they feel intimidated by the flag being displayed here. They are 3 girls living alone, they were already nervous with all of the sexual assaults either reported or un reported in Bloomington and specifically the IU Campus. Please address this and have the guys remove this flag.

Sidewalk Snow Removal
510 E 17th ST

This will be my 4th winter in bloomington as I am a senior in college and this city really needs some MAJOR renovations to the roads, sidewalks, trees blocking stop signs, etc. My particular issue right now is the extreme safety issue that it poses when the city fails to salt the sidewalks. In my hometown, there was RARELY a time that it snowed and there wasn’t salt on every sidewalk in town, or at least the sidewalks that any students would need to use to walks or ride buses to school. I understand that Bloomington is a bit of a larger town and some of this could be an issue for the IU campus management too, but it seems like the city fails to salt the sidewalks if they ever even do. They should be ensuring that sidewalks get salted even if there isn’t a high chance of snow. For example, tonight at the IU purdue game on november 30th, I saw so many people slipping and sliding and it did not seem like there was any salt on the sidewalks anywhere near 17th street. I almost fell multiple times and I was closely looking at the ground for salt and it did not seem like there was any. I have also noticed similar issues in previous years when there has been snow, the sidewalks are never salted or cleared for students walking to class from off campus. I know you can probably only control what is considered the city of bloomington and not IU campus, but if we are going to care enough about safety to line the entirety of 17th street’s sidewalks with fences and security guards, you would think the least you guys could do would be put down some salt. I’m really failing to understand why it is SO hard for this city to put salt down, like my dad taught me how to salt our driveway when I was like 14. I swear I could put salt down all of 17th street faster than this city could because this city isn’t even capable of maintaining streets and sidewalks that aren’t covered in potholes and uneven surfaces.

Street Snow Removal
1210 N Washington ST
- Case Date:
- 1/13/2025
I am writing to express a concern regarding the recent snow removal efforts on N Washington Street between 16th and 17th. Currently, only one lane has been plowed, leaving large piles of snow in the street as well as in designated parking areas on the north side of the street.
This has created significant issues for residents and visitors, as parking on the street is nearly impossible without risking falls or accidents due to the icy and uneven conditions.
I kindly request that the street be re-plowed, with particular attention to clearing the north side, and salted to ensure safer access for pedestrians and vehicles.
Thank you for addressing this matter promptly.
