The street of W 6th St., just West of Adams towards the bottom of the little hill next to the Church, is starting to basically buckle and sink into itself. There was a busted water main there a few weeks ago, and I wonder if there's still some leakage because the road is becoming extremely wavy and uneven. I'd take a look at it now before it becomes a bigger problem down later on.
The asphalt pavement on the east side of the 2300 block Montclair Avenue is broken in several places. At 2303 there are two places, one about 25 ft and the other about 20 feet long and 1-2 feet wide. In some places both layers of asphalt are gone above the gravel base. The drop off from the driveway curb to the road is over 3" at 2303. This problem is a safety hazard and will get much worse if it is not fixed soon.
Location: 2601 N. Kinser Pike Very rough temporary patch on water main repair. High traffic location needs overdue attention to smooth suspension damaging city street section.
2600 N. Kinser: It's been 3 weeks. Why hasn't the street been repaired from the water leak? Thanks!
The alley running north and south from W. Dixie to W. Dodds is overgrown with weeds and bushes and is untravelable, can someone clear that out. It's not on my property or I would do it. Thanks!!
There are three potholes on Romans Way three houses south of Brighton Crest. In addition, a stop/street sign has been knocked over at the intersection of S. Smith Road and Fenbrook on the northeast corner. The sign is laying on the ground. It needs a new post.
Greetings, I couldn't get the mayor to comment directly on the following via the Ask the Mayor program on WFIU, perhaps your dept can comment? Downtown and near downtown main streets are becoming a maze of hazardous patched sections, uneven pavement, road projects without final paving (roundabout at Arlington Road) and wear and tear that is not being attended to. I have my doubts that the Street Dept is at fault here but here is what I have observed as a lifelong resident who notices things. Due to the recent explosion of downtown building, contractors tear up our downtown streets, often major thoroughfares in order to connect to utilities, etc. They further damage the street with huge pieces of machinery needed for the construction. They finish the project and then cheap out on really repairing the damage to the street that was often in fine condition prior to them tearing it up. Then all the citizens have is a street that will kill their tires, struts and rattle their teeth as well as possibly causing accidents. They leave it up to the city to spend the huge $$$ to really fix the road correctly. The contractors and builders have no right to destroy our streets that WE pay taxes to keep in excellent condition. We should not have to wait for a scheduled road project when the road in question carries thousands of cars and other vehicles a day. This type of damage is very obvious at the northern apex of Walnut and College Avenues. Just patching the potholes and bumps and uneven surfaces is NOT enough. It seems that the streets that are getting paved and kept in the best condition in Bloomington are those who live in exclusive additions off these roads and all they had to do was to jiggle the ringer on the mayor’s cell phone and voila! the street is smooth as a baby’s bottom. Could you comment on my observations and what can be done?
Not a pothole, but I couldn't find a means of making this request. Utilities recently repaired a water leak on North Dunn Street just north of Tamarack Trail. The repair is worse than a nuisance; it is rather dangerous. The repair of new asphalt rises up to speed bump heights, bone jarring and quite hard on the vehicles passing over it. Motorists now are driving off the road on either side to avoid this obstacle. At speeds greater than 10 mph one's vehicle is in danger of damage. Would you please check this obstacle and take action to repair the repair? Many thanks.
Water valve cover popped off again - east bound lane Hillside at corner of S. Dorchester Dr. Cover in grass by HT paper box. Cover only lasted about 3 weeks since last replaced. Maybe they can use tar or different type cover to stay on.
