The drain is covered with down limbs from the storm and asphalt that was brought in by the rainwater. Also. It needs to be further cleared and taken away. If you just dump it up on the curb it will kill all the grass and in the next storm it will fill up the drain again. So please remove this debris! This is a chronic flooding area and the main storm sewer outlet for this part of Park ridge East
City of Bloomington showed up to cut trees from this property. They parked in the lot without permission and they blocked an entrance to the lot with their trucks. Time and time again the City is doing things on this corner either without permission of the property owners and/or without advance notice. There are operating businesses on this corner and this is private property. Blocking an entrance to a business is completely unacceptable.
There's a good size pothole as you turn onto Willow Ct.
Northbound lane on Kennedy, there are 3-4 near the corner that opened up. The crew always does a great job, thanks y'all
Pothole on right edge of the southbound lane of Kinser pike, just north of the side street that leads into the back of Bloomington High School North ('Cougar Drive' I think it's called, but it isn't labeled on the map). I know the address reported here is 'Whitewood way', but the pothole is on Kinser Pike! Roughly where I've aligned the bullseye on the map.
Recent road "repair" work has left the street broken up and substantially WORSE than before the road work.
With the construction going on in the Building Trades Park homeless people are starting to hang out in the church parking lot across the street. The security patrols for the park used to check out that parking lot but have stopped since the construction has started. It would be nice if they swung through occasionally while the construction is going on.

I am writing to formally request the consideration of an ordinance prohibiting the use of engine brakes (commonly known as “Jake Brakes”) on E 3rd Street West of SR 446 into Bloomington. This stretch of road, being a key route with both residential and commercial presence, frequently experiences disruptive noise pollution from heavy trucks utilizing engine brakes. As a resident in the area at Summerhouse, I can personally attest to the significant impact this has on daily life and overall well-being. The frequent noise not only disrupts daytime activities but also affects my ability to sleep soundly at night, compromising rest and health. Supporting Evidence: 1. Noise Pollution and Health: Studies have consistently shown that chronic exposure to high-decibel noise—like that produced by engine brakes—can contribute to sleep disturbances, increased stress levels, and even cardiovascular risks. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), noise above 55 dB is considered harmful, and engine brakes often exceed 80–100 dB. 2. Ordinance Effectiveness: Many municipalities across the U.S. have adopted engine brake ordinances in residential areas to reduce noise pollution and improve quality of life. 3. Local Impact: Given the residential density and commercial activity along E 3rd Street, enforcing a restriction would bring it in line with common noise abatement practices, ensuring a quieter, more livable environment for its residents. I believe that introducing this ordinance would not only improve the quality of life for residents but also align with community standards of noise control and public health considerations. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this matter further and provide any additional information that may be helpful. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Vehicle (Nissan XTerra plate 977BHC) has been parked for well over a month without being moved. It blocks the view of cross traffic when trying to turn onto S Hawksmoore Drive.
