The person who lives here, Frank, rides his bike on the sidewalk with his two (sometimes) leashed dogs. I have witnessed these dogs almost hit by cars in cross streets due to the speed and visibility issues, as well as getting caught in the bike tires. This is dangerous for people living in the neighborhood, as well as his poor dogs.
The dogs at this house are left in the backyard almost all the time, even when the owners aren’t home. They bark incessantly.
A dog has been barking for over an hour somewhere near the corner of eighth and Maple. I have never heard this dog in the neighborhood before and it sounds like it’s really distressed. With the fences and the overgrowth, I can’t see exactly where it is but when you come, you will hear it.
Please add a flashing light and signage at the crosswalk where the B-Line crosses Rogers to alert drivers to be prepared to stop for pedestrians. It's especially important because the sidewalk on the east side of Rogers is closed, so people entering or exiting the B-Line there need to cross from or to the west side of Rogers. (I.e., we can't walk on the east side and cross Rogers at the stop sign at 11th St.)
The City needs to find a better way to keep the 7th Street bike path clear for cyclists. On Wednesday, July 13, 2022, around 9:25pm I was biking with a group of cyclists. We were headed east on 7th Street in the bike lane. As we crossed College and headed towards Walnut, every single cyclist had to exit the bike lane and ride in the lanes of traffic because a pickup truck was going in reverse down the bike lane. The truck had its white backup lights on and was moving from Walnut back towards College, fully in the bicycle lane blocking both lanes of bicycle travel. This is classic Bloomington infrastructure. Poorly designed, used incorrectly, and the people it is meant to benefit are no better off.
There are a series of deep potholes between Adams St and North Waldron that are both difficult to see at night and difficult to avoid during the day with cars parked alnog the street. It needs repaving. I have recently popped two of my bike tires on this road that I commute on multiple times daily.
Four city issued trash and recycling containers belonging to 802 W 7th still on sidewalk 24 hours after trash/recycling pickup. Blocking sidewalk on Maple Street at W 7th.
There is a tree that has fallen down and part of it is sticking out onto the sidewalk
