The street light in front of my house provides light indiscriminately, as do all the lights in the neighborhood. Does the city have any plans to work with Duke to replace the fixtures to ones (possibly more energy efficient - saving money in the long term) that direct the light toward the ground to reduce the light pollution? I asked Duke about the one near me and their response was to contact the city. Thank you for your consideration.
You have elevated concrete all over the roads now. You have little triangles at the intersections that you have curbs to mark off the bicycle lanes, you have medians with trees on them, and you have high curbs and narrow roads like on Sare Rd just south of Moore's Pike. But what you don't have in many of these areas with concrete structures rising 8 to 12 in off the ground, is STREET LIGHTS!!! So, a person driving at night has difficulty seeing these structures, and, in my case, I did damage to the underside of my car because I drove right up onto one of these triangular concrete structures at an intersection. I've also hit the high curb on Sare Rd, where you are driving precariously between a risen concrete median and a high curb, making the road very narrow and of course, it is unlit. I know that you guys want to keep up with the latest "progressive" trends of Europe (as if it were not failing in every way so I don't see why), but really, use common sense and put some street lights wherever you're going to put these high concrete structures in the road. Because at night, and especially when it's raining or snowing, it's practically impossible to see these structures sometimes and the result is, one does damage to one's car, courtesy of the city of bloomington, to which I happen to be paying my local taxes to support this lunacy.
re: S Kings Court, there are signifiant potholes on the street and chunks of concrete missing from the curbing. It looks a street in Kabul with all the patching, divets, cracks, gravel, and so on. In the 25 years I have lived at this address, the street has never been fully paved, and this weighs on our property value. It seems that given the taxes we pay in this neighborhood, that paving once in 25 years could be justified. In any case, can someone assess the the potholes and curbs before my car is swallowed up?
Traveling south on Highland Ave there is an arrow sign on the left that points to the curve. The left side of the sign the screws are missing and it flaps a lot in the wind. Concerned it will fly off and hit someone or a car.
Park Ridge East Park wooden fence is in shambles. It’s not achieving the desired purpose of a barrier between the road and the park. It is splintery, and it is not sturdy at all. A child is likely to get hurt.
Deer are being fed along Sare Road near the creek and the brick condos. The deer have jumped out in traffic several times.
Potholes throughout this intersection
There are wires hanging down from the pole in front of 1745 S Olive. Not sure who to contact. Was just one, now several and a bird nest is falling out of a container that is connected to some of the wires at the top. I have no idea who to call. Kids live in this area and I am concerned about them pulling or hanging on the wires. Do not know if they are dangerous wires or not. Thank you, Maggie
The "new and improved" bill pay for city bills is a terrible user experience. It won't load on Safari, it doesn't remember users from the previous login info, and if the user logs in again it still doesn't remember the account number and that's IF you can get it to load at all. Please please please talk to tech people at the Mill. They can help. Thank you.
Just wondering why the city puts up detour signs without any weights in a windy month. I saw probably eight or nine day during a short walk this afternoon. Sometimes they are blocking the sidewalk (northwest corner of Second and Rogers). Kind of pointless.
