Sidepath on north side of 17th St between Lincoln and Dunn is covered with ice across the whole width. There is a short stretch in the middle that is clear, but most of it is covered with ice. This is a sidepath and the city is supposed to be responsible for maintaining it. Pedestrians and cyclists are supposed to be first class transportation users. Thanks!
The left turn signal light for eastbound Tapp Rd. to turn north onto Rockport Rd. changes from a green light to a yellow light almost immediately, such that only one car can get through the intersection and must do so under a yellow light.
Water pressure seems low and fluctuates in a pattern
Alleys covered in ice
Need to snow removal
A request for snow removal practices going forward. The location is where South Morton ends at the Convention Center overflow parking lot. Vehicle traffic is stopped by three yellow bollards, but many pedestrians and cyclists use this road to enter the B-line from Morton St. In past winters, snow plows push the snow into a large pile that entirely blocks off the end of S Morton St, so even pedestrians can't pass through. In the past, I have shoveled a pathway through, but it takes hours depending on the size of the pile and how frozen it is, and I have to redo it every time plows come through, and I go through at least 5 snow shovels per year since they break from the amount of snow I need to move. Now I have a back issue, so I can no longer shovel a path through. Can you please coordinate snow plowing so that the end of S Morton is not entirely blocked? Maybe a smaller plow (like they use on the B-line) could work with the larger plows to keep the path as open as possible. Thank you.
I came over to my elderly mother house to remove snow, around noon today. The roads had already been plowed at this time. I shoveled her walk and the sidewalk in front of her home, like a responsible member of the community. All homeowners are required by law, if they are shared with a public sidewalk we have to maintain said sidewalk. I came back to over to her house a few hours later to discover a plow came to plow the gutter area. Mind you the road has already been plowed, so by plowing the small insignificant portion of the road, the driver essentially cover the sidewalk with a icy mix of snow and slush. Now, I have to remove the snow yet again because it’s even more of a hazard now. Since chunks of ice are scattered along the sidewalk. Honestly, that driver should clean the sidewalk or someone from the the city, because this is unacceptable, it created a hazard and for what? To plow the gutters!? Response is needed.
This is the second year that I have noticed this issue, the roads at Atlas on 17th apartment complex are poorly plowed and not salted. Last year, a car slid and hit my parked car, today someone crashed into a pole, and I have consistently seen people sliding around the curve and up the hill. I called the apartment complex and they said it is a city issue because it is a city street. The other streets in Bloomington are perfectly plowed and salted but here there always seem to be plow and salt problems.
Sidewalks left unshovled are causing dangerous conditions for pedestrian on or off the sidewalk.
I strongly second this Ureport: #207017 " .. Bricks are slipperier than concrete when wet ". This is a well known problem, along with brick walks being more expensive to maintain, and prone to problems. If this news report is correct, https://bsquarebulletin.com/brick-fix-okd-for-kirkwood-avenue-at-491k-cost/, Adam Wason says city is now not planning to replace slippery, unsafe brick sidewalk because "it looks iconic". Please reconsider this opinion, that looks triumph over safety. I do not have walking problems, but I have often slipped on the brick sidewalks in nearby IU area that are often wet, slick, iced and uneven when concrete walks are fine.
