City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #186081

Blocked Street:

Other: I understand that much of the street and yard work done is not by City staff members, but there should be some sort of oversight to ensure resident rights when street/easement/public utility efforts are underway. Our yard at 4021 E. Morningside is routinely deconstructed with no notice given and often damages left behind. Today our driveway was blocked off (still is) by a Green Ram truck with a Vermeer tanker, with a hole dug in the middle of our driveway exit. Our family works and has to enter and exit the drive throughout the day. One of the most important events of the past 7 years is happening tonight that we need to get to. We are making backup plans on an alternative way to go there, but to receive zero communication when we are to have no vehicular use for the day is something that needs to change. If the City has any jurisdiction over the permits given to these companies, they need to start requiring true resident notice and respect for property. Thank you for any help you can provide in future efforts.

Thank you for reaching out to us with these issues. The contractors are required to provide notice prior to work beginning and they are also not to prevent access to driveways of the residents in the area. I am sorry this has occurred. I have relayed this information to the contractor and will be monitoring the situation to try and prevent such things from happening in the future.
