Potholes, Other Street Repair
600-698 S Park Ridge Rd, Bloomington, Indiana, 47401
- Case Date:
- 1/7/2019
N showers road was washed out due to heavy rains. This makes a very dangerouscondition due to traffic bearing into the other lane to avoid.
Another 25-30 section of road washed away from rain waters on N showers rd. This creates a dangerous condition due to traffic bearing into oncoming traffic to avoid the road. There are two sections for about a total of 50-60 feet washed away due to poor draining for waste water.
Second Street and Woodlawn Streets intersection: there are several potholes in the northbound lane which are very hard to avoid.
Very large pothole on Liberty at south exit from Kroger West
On Range Rd., just north of 10th St., there is a dangerous, unmarked lump caused by the recent underground horizontal drilling project in that area. There was a similar lump caused by the same project at the entrance to IU's Cyberinfrastructure Building and Stone Belt, but it was repaired quickly upon much internal complaint. This lump on Range Rd. nearly caused me to lose control of my motorcycle. Hopefully it can be marked immediately, and repaired soon.
The small stub of West 10th Street that runs West from Fairview to another short street called Curve Street and runs for one block is a disgusting muddy mess. If you are not going to maintain this street why don't you dig it up and turn it into green space? During the recent rains the City storm water system was so backed up in this location that the entire area completely filled with water (causing water infiltration into the basement of the house I own at 605 North Fairview. The storm sewers are often blocked and the culvert at the bottom of the park is inadequate to handle the water that runs off Ernest Butler Park. The whole situaiton is a mess and largely caused by City mismanagement. Additionally, the City has repeatedly allowed Mr. Goodman to violate City rules and codes and directives and his mess and non-running cars adds to the mix of this mess--once again a case of City mismanagement. This horrible situation has persisted for years. As the owner of 605 N Fairview I am seriously considering hiring an attorney and taking formal legal action against the City for its inattention to its own rules. If the Goodman property were a rental property that I owned I would be getting a complaint notice every other day. Both Matt Murphy (who owns the commercial property which adjoins my house at 605 N Fairview) and I have invested significant money in keeping our properties nice and generally contributing to the uplift of the Near-Westside. Too bad the City is not helping us! My number is 812-322-2050 and I would be interested in hearing if anyone at the City has viewed the situation on this one block section of West 10th Street.
