Hoping that the bushes that impede into the alleys can be trimmed back again now that summer is ending. The alley just east of Woodlawn Ave heading to south to Hunter is the worst offender, but the alley going east from Woodlawn to Faculty could use some trimming also. They all tend to scratch the car as we navigate through those alleys on a daily basis. Additionally, there are some bushes on the south end of the Subway building that block half of the sidewalk so that you can't see to pull out south on Woodlawn until the front of the car is already into the northbound lane, but more importantly, they block the view of pedestrians walking south until they are walking out into the alley and into the path of cars coming out of the alley onto Woodlawn. I've asked the manager inside Subway who said he cared for the landscaping and he said he'd talk to the building managers. I've also called the building managers and discussed the issue with them and nothing has improved.

Large pothole in alley that runs parallel in between Fess and Henderson street, perpindicular between 1st and Maxwell. If you're coming in to the alley from 1st street, the pothole is on your left about 20 feet in. It is huge and now with the snow makes driving down this alley hazardous.

Large areas of potholes, some very deep, on Highland Avenue. The worst area is just north of Winslow Road, where the Winslow Trail merges with the sidewalk on Highland. Often filled with water so it is difficult to tell how deep they are when driving. Also, large areas of potholes are present on both sides of Rogers Road, toward the top of the hill at the entrance to The Stands neighborhood (up the east hill from the Winslow/High/Rogers Roundabout). Thank you!!

Location: 611 E State Road 45,46 Bypass and 711 to a lesser extent. There is gravel and sand on the driveways of these homes at the junction of the sidewalks. This makes it difficult for the bicycle riders to ride throughout it. I assume it is the responsibility of the owners to clean it up. If you could give them a call, maybe that would help. The 611 address is very bad and the 711 address is moderate. On the positive side, your department has been doing an excellent job of cleaning up the limestone chunks that fall down on the sidewalk further east where you had to cut through the stone for the new highway. Thanks! Regards, Andrew Loeb

I noticed you are going to be doing sidewalk work in our neighborhood...The Stands..specifically the Ashwood area. There is a dangerous spot on the sidewalk right at the Stands Drive and Pierson court...north side of the street about 4 rectangles in from the corner. The block is elevated way off of the ground and is a dangerous hazard. Don't know if you can fit this in with the other work you are doing in this area. Thanks for your consideration. Also the sidewalk, in numerous places, on the west side of the Stands drive between Ashwood Drive and Ashwood Lane is crumbling.

there's a dangerous situation out on west 3rd street, near the intersection of 3rd & franklin. a very deep hole right beside a public sidewalk & i'm afraid that someone won't see it who is walking along & the person could get very injured. the hole is about 18" wide and about 5 feet deep and difficult to see until it's too late. it is in front of a "for sale" building, but right beside the public sidewalk there.

I hope I am reporting this to the same place that I did earlier (see below) The City of Bloomington website is a bit Byzantine in nature I live at 1300 East Maxwell Lane on the SE corner of E. Maxwell Lane and Highland Avenue. Several weeks ago I contacted you about a hole in the pavement that runs in front of out house. It is situated in an offset parking area that looks to be on the easement along the front of our house. The hole is about 8 inches across and several inches deep. Below the surface of the pavement you can see the top of a pipe which extends north towards an open drainage area at the intersection of East Maxwell Lane and Highland. It would seem to continue to the south down Highland. You can see the edge of the pipe, which is open, where the hole in the pavement has formed and it looks as though water must have been draining out at this point causing the surrounding material around it to erode which allowed the pavement above it to collapse. Several days after I contacted you someone from the city did come out and look at it but said that he was not sure as to whether it was the city’s responsibility to correct the problem or ours as the homeowners. He said he would need to research the situation to see exactly what might be involved in the problem and who should take care of the repair. However we have not heard anything from the city concerning this and we would like to have it corrected before winter sets in with more rain and snow runoff creating more of a problem, which I feel sure will ultimately affect not only our lot but also the street adjacent to it. A few days after that person was here I did see a city car pulled up alongside Maxwell Lane for a few minutes but no one got out or came to the door to inquire but it could have been someone else from the city coming to assess the situation. They may have been thinking that the problem was on that side of the house since we do have a Maxwell Lane address but the house faces Highland and the problem is on that side. I don’t know, this is just a guess. Could someone there please check to see what is happening with this problem?

Big hole near the sidewalk at the intersection of E Third and Woodscrest, the south-east corner.

Pothole on Heritage (off E 3rd St) close to house #116. Heritage is dark at night, and therefore can be dangerous for the pedestrian. Also, huge overgrowth of foliage on sidewalk in front of 3813 E 3rd St. Obstructs the sidewalk. I noticed that when I get off the bus on E 3rd, in front of Century's building, the sidewalk ends rather than helps the pedestrian reach the corner of Smith Rd so that I can cross to get to E Morningside Dr. This is unacceptable for the pedestrian.

this is a correction for the pothole I reported last week. It is not in front of 1707 E Second, but 1807. Right now it is covered by snow, but it will re-appear soon enough. Thanks.
