Street Lights

905 N Grant ST

Case Date:
1/15/2026

Someone dumped a street light in our backyard. It is green, one of those old-fashioned types like on campus. There is a heavy base that looks like its made out of a kind of cheap pot metal, and a relatively light-weight though long vertical fluted column that seems to be made out of aluminum. The two pieces are separate, and there are no markings at all on either one and no electrical apparatus or fixture present, just the base and the pole. Is this something that belongs to the City that someone maybe stole and then dumped? Or does it belong to a private individual? Or maybe it is just trash that needs to go to the recycling center?

Drainage or Runoff

307 N Jefferson ST

Case Date:
1/15/2026

Resident (Ron) called to complain about standing water that collects at the end of their driveway apron, which is a few feet from a sewer drain. Resident reported that the problem may be related to developer construction in the area (i.e., staging of concrete with massive trucks) which has damaged curbs and sidewalks. Camera-ing stormwater or other facilities may be warranted. ENG is following up about expressed concerns of damaged public ROW assets (sidewalks, curbs).

Biking & Walking

Morton & 7th

Case Date:
1/15/2026

I've always thought that I needed to suggest that some sort of "barrier" needed to be put in the large bike lanes as I've seen multiple people attempting to drive or actually driving down them (and I've even had to make a last minute movement when I realized the lane wasn't for cars and I'm from Bloomington and do a ton of driving downtown). The location I noted might not be the exact spot of where I just saw someone doing this, but it's the bike lane all the way down seventh St. Thanks for the consideration and I look forward to seeing this simple improvement soon!!

Street & Traffic Signs

400 E 2nd ST

Case Date:
1/15/2026

We have a vendor scheduled to replace a retaining wall at the corner of 2nd and Grant that is failing and bowing out. We sent the engineering department some concerns that we want to share here as well. 1. The stop sign is currently located approximately one foot from the retaining wall. There is concern that the sign may become unstable or fall once the wall is removed. 2. Once the project is completed, the bank will be lowered, which may require adjustments to the placement or height of the stop sign. Please let me know how you would like to proceed or if additional coordination is needed to address these concerns.

1432 S Winfield RD

Case Date:
1/14/2026

Five dogs came out of the back door at 1432 Winfield at 2:29 pm today (1/14/2026) and proceeded to run around the yard, barking steadily, until 3:15 at which time it was snowing and windy. They then all went on the deck where the largest dogs proceeded to climb on the back door for the next 45 minutes to get back into the house. No one ever came out to see what they were doing.

Blocked Street

701 W 4th ST

Case Date:
1/14/2026

On the west side of Fairview Street, just south of the house at 701 West Fourth Street, there is a Jeep Laredo (plate # IN 896BZL) that has been parked for a very long time in the same place, maybe a year. So long that the right front tire is nearly flat. The vehicle is also parked very inconveniently for any vehicle exiting the alley that runs from Jackson Street to Fairview. The sight lines are already bad, but the Jeep narrows the available street space to turn left or right from the alley. The street would be much safer if the vehicle was parked closer to Fourth Street, but with the flat tire it is also presently an inoperable vehicle. Any help getting the owner to move it to a safer place would be appreciated. Thank you.

Trash

S Basswood Dr

Case Date:

Dumpster behind 568 and by garage 1. Furniture left there and other garbage strewn around dumpsters and property. While here, drive by all the dumpsters on property. Trash here is a constant problem. This place needs stiffer fines because the issue is constant.
