Sidewalk & Curb Complaints:

Other: Hello, I am the facilities manager of Trinity Episcopal Church (111 s Grant Street). A while back our gas meter was moved by (then Vectren) in conjunction with the Culvert work that is ongoing by Milestone. They moved the meter from the back of our building where it was safe - to the corner where it is in a precarious position. In doing so they have compromised the sidewalk, causing the corner to crack and one of the metal plates to raise up forming a lip - which has been reported to me as being a tripping hazard. I've asked numerous times to have the area addressed (specifically the meter itself) and have been ignored by (now) Centerpoint. The sidewalk deterioration is just the latest part of the failure to sensibly relocate that meter in a safe manner. Does the Street department address this? And who can I talk to about the meter itself? It is exposed to Traffic traveling through the alley and will be damaged at some point by a large truck. If you folks could assist me in this - Trinity Episcopal Church sure would be grateful. Thanks for your time, Kevin Burdeshaw Facilities Manager

After speaking with both City of Bloomington Utilities and Public Works, the short answer is that the gas meter cannot be moved. The gas meter had to be removed from the alley to accommodate the upcoming culvert construction and there was no other location for it. The repair with asphalt is only temporary as this section of sidewalk will be replaced by the project. Milestone has been asked to take a look and see if they can do anything about the uneven plate.
