I live across the street from this four way stop. At the STOP sign I have in the past (I admitted a UReport) and also and today seen a couple of cars that have not stopped at the sign. This is very concerning and the pin oak tree needs to be trimmed back. Thanks for reading.
Wow - how can this rental be allowed to remain in this condition? MANY violations here. Trash, food, animals, car parts, unclothed children - and that is just the front yard.
I wanted to voice my frustrations with some of the new policies that negatively impact the high school golf programs that compete/practice at Cascades Golf Course. First, my understanding is that there is a new policy that the high school team and players cannot schedule tee times in the afternoon during their practice period on any day other than Mondays or Tuesdays. My son has a junior annual membership at Cascades (and has for the last 8-10 years), yet because of his participation on the high school golf team, this policy would presumably prevent him from being able to reserving a tee time on Wednesday-Friday from 3-5:30 p.m. Any other junior annual member who isn't on the team can reserve a tee time during that same time slot. My son pays the same amount for his annual membership as any other junior, but he is presumably denied access because of his participation on the golf team. If that is in fact the policy, that is wrong, unfair, and should be changed immediately. On another note, from what we have been told, I find it disappointing that many of the changes that negatively impact the golf programs (higher prices for range balls, new restrictions to practice space, restrictions to permissible days to schedule matches, etc.) were made without any dialogue with the coaches and/or high school administration. While I fully appreciate that Cascades Golf Course is a business and changes like these are necessary at times, it would seem that the longstanding relationship that the Bloomington North H.S. golf programs and players have had with Cascades would have made a discussion appropriate. That type of discussion would have at least provided an opportunity for the coaches/school to express how some of these changes negatively impact the team (i.e., how viable is it to have a JV team if practice space is so limited?) and how it negatively impacts the growth of the sport. I think a municipal city course should be striving to encourage local youths to play golf, and not making changes that discourage them from doing so.
I live beside this intersection at E Smith Ave and S Dunn St. There's a stop sign for crossing S Dunn St from E Smith Ave, but not for crossing E Smith Ave from S Dunn. Over the past several years, I have heard countless cars screech their tires as they brake, honk at one another, and witnessed one collision, all at this very intersection. The traffic flowing south on Dunn St usually drives quickly, as they're coming down Atwater Ave, and have no visual line of sight for cars crossing on E Smith Ave until you're essentially entering the intersection. Likewise, cars on E Smith Ave have to pull into the intersection to clear cars blocking the line of sight on S Dunn. This results in an unsafe intersection. Either cars must be restricted from blocking the line of sight on either street, or a stop sign must be placed at the crossing on S Dunn St through E Smith Ave, creating a 4-way stop. Thanks for hearing my concern.
Kids on gas powered dirt bikes tearing up and down the B Line trail in recent days. Not e-bikes. Going way too fast popping wheelies and generally being unsafe. Thank you.
Recently planted an invasive species (honeysuckle) in their landscaping on the north side of the home.
