South bound lane,West side of street, going uphill, there is a prominent outward portion of the curbing. It is painted yellow, but now black from repeated contact by vehicle tires. It needs to be rounded off, and move toward the sidewalk. When I struck this prominent angled curb, it resulted in a blowout of my right front tire. The Bland wrecker truck driver said “ Oh, I get lots of business from that curb” so my experience is not unique. Please fix for the nest drivers, and contact me if there are any questions. Thank you!
The NE corner of 7th & Waldron at the street level was torn up MONTHS ago during the Near Westside sidewalk and ramp work. This corner has never been either completed or the pavement restored. When will this finally be finished? I see this as an issue as we go into the rainy winter, where this area will be more prone to icing, which will create a potential road hazard.
3 potholes: on High Street near the intersection with E Second, near the church sign, close to the sidewalk; in the 500 block of Woodscrest across from the Mallor and Grodner building; E Second Street, between Woodscrest and College Mall Rd across from the red, wavy wall.
potholes and low spot gets flooded easily with mud and water forcing pedestrians to walk into busy road from sidewalk.
For many years, kids have had problems walking to Rogers/Binford Elementary School on the south side of the sidewalk on E 1st St, just before High Street. There is an unused driveway to an empty lot, which is a pool of mud in wet weather. Neighbors have pointed this out to the council before. Neighbors have also come up with their own solutions - putting down boards, etc. I heard a school parent yesterday saying he planned to fill it in with gravel or cement because he had not had a response from the council. Might it be possible for you to repair this gap in the sidewalk permanently? Thank you!
There is a street sign bent over so that it cannot be read just to the north along the sidewalk in front of Bloomington Cleaners There is no selection on the service request menus for this type of damage/situation
Going West along Countryside Dr. there are trees along sidewalk on left hand side of road. At intersection Adams Hill Circle and Countryside...view to see oncoming traffic on either side of Countryside Dr. is completely obstructed by trees - cannot see oncoming traffic. This is a school zone, with high traffic volume in morning and evenings, problem compounded with bikers and pedestrian traffic.
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.
