Our neighborhood recently had our sidewalks updated to be ADA acceptable and with that our driveway and sidewalk by our house was tore up. The photo above is a spot in the sidewalk they did not fill with concrete and is a hazard to anyone walking. They also left big gaps in our yard where they fixed the sidewalks which is another hazard. If we could have someone come out and look and fix this issue so no one gets hurt.
The courtyard at the 900 block of North Lindbergh drive has always flooded. The situation may have just been exacerbated even after construction is complete unless proper drainage is included before concrete is poured. I also don't really want motorcycles and motor scooters revving up all hours of the day and night outside of my apartment, and hope that this will only be for bicycles and non-motored vehicles. We now have what may become a huge mosquito breeding pool in our front yard.
I was told by Rhonda at Bloomington housing authority that the construction project taking place in our courtyard on Lindbergh will be a covered structure for bicycle parking. My concern is if motorized vehicles like scooters and motorcycles park there, the c shape created by the three tall apartment buildings surrounding the courtyard already create an amphitheater that echoes every sound. The noise from bikes that people built themselves around here are loud enough, but if they're revving them up in our courtyard and if there's an awning, and we're in this low level across the street from a hill, please consider how loud this will be in our apartments where there's gaps around our front door. I work full-time and need my sleep at night and to rest on the weekends. There are small children living here who need to be in bed at night. Please consider including signs that there will be no motorcycles or motor scooters parking here. I think bicycle parking is wonderful and I am enthusiastic about having bicycle parking. In a previous report, I mentioned the issue that has already been present of flooding before this construction began, and tomorrow, there is a flash flood warning for all of Central Indiana.
Thank you Bloomington Sanitation!

I would like to know who is responsible for signing off on street repair and construction projects.
Missing a street sign (name of street(s)) at the corner of Andrews Circle and Coleman Court South. Without street sign, difficult for service personnel (AT&T, Direct TV, Heating and Air, others) to find homes on Coleman Court. Have had to stand outside and wave down personnel looking for our home at 1544 S. Coleman Court.
There is a large city tree -- a sugar maple -- in front of our house at 2321 S. Montclair. It's between the sidewalk and the road, near our driveway. The tree is dead and has started to lose limbs. I hope the city can send a crew to remove it soon. A few years ago, Doug Fowler (arborist) suggested putting a support in the tree to help its stability. I paid for that support, so if possible, please ask the crew to leave it behind in case I could ever re-use it. Thank you!
The new sidewalks on the northwest corner of Sare and Rogers have been badly damaged from utility trucks driving on them. There could have been some plywood or metals plates used to cover the walks to protect them.
