Trees/shrubs are overgrown and obscure visibility. If you're heading east on Dodds and waiting to cross Walnut, you have to pull forward until you're partially in the road in order to see if traffic is clear. This issue also exists at the intersection of Dodds & Washington (heading east) - you can't see if anyone is coming on that one-way road (or if anyone is about to cross the crosswalk) unless you pull all the way forward. This is especially dangerous because the stop sign itself is almost always obscured by a tree branch.
Stop sign is bent backward at intersection of Montclair and Rock Creek. This is already a hazardous area due to people running through this intersection.
Many students have to jaywalk every day here to catch a bus, and 99% of drivers don’t understand the situation. If you do a quick search, you'll realize this has been an ongoing safety issue for 5–6 years. I’ve raised it before (last year and again this year), but nothing has changed. Please consider adding a sidewalk to improve safety. https://www.idsnews.com/article/2025/11/17th-street-crosswalk-crash-data-bloomington-indiana-university-campus-safety-news?utm_source=dailyheadlines&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=article-email-link
2 bird? scooters blocking sidewalk/boardwalk
Scooter entirely blocking the sidewalk. There’s got to be a way to penalize either of the company or the user. There’s no accountability and that’s a problem.
12:05 pm 9/14/2025 A scooter was left on the sidewalk on northeast corner of Washington and sixth blocking the curb cut for both 6th and Washington.
Trash receptacles provided by Brawley Properties not sufficient for residents. Brawley is aware of the issue, and trash is blowing throughout the neighborhood, wildlife is digging through the garbage. It’s been going on for weeks. I’ve personally cleaned it up to prevent it from going into my yard, and all the neighbors are frustrated.
Dog loose and in road and yards. Afraid it is going to get hit, no collar
This is the second time in the past few weeks that I have walked the b-line over to switchyard and all of the lights are off when it’s after dark. Surely you are aware of this issue, but thought I would report it just in case… It’s a little bit dangerous in the section between Patterson and switchyard Because it’s so dark with all the trees. It would be easy to run into someone on the B-line.
