uReport

City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #208821

Sidewalk & Curb Complaints:

Other: Driveway gravel covering sidewalk. I have rectified this before when the volume was much smaller. It seem to be a defect, although it may meet code. Neither residents, nor owners/management are cognizant of the issue, apparently. They still haven't rectified the reported and NOVed light trespass issue either.

Not sure if this is a Planning or an Engineering issue. Gravel is very high (2+ feet) and is bowing out the new retaining fence. Please feel free to talk with me more about it. -Jo

Planning staff issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) Warning letter to the property owners for noncompliant lighting. The letter listed a deadline of 03/04/2026 to address the lighting violations. Planning staff will reinvestigate the property again at night as soon as we can after that date to ensure compliance. If the issues have not been resolved and we do not receive any outreach from the property owners regarding a plan for compliance, we will escalate the enforcement process to a Notice of Violation (NOV) letter with fine deadlines for resolving the violations.

Jeremy, I'm sending this over regarding the stone from the driveway encroaching the sidewalk and street. I will notify Planning about the light trespass issue.
