Potholes, Other Street Repair

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.

I am so grateful for the new traffic light at the intersection of Bloomfield rd and Rolling Ridge Way (exiting Twin Lakes Rec Center), but I cannot wait until you have paved the remaining part of the exit. There is a pretty nasty sharp ridge now that my tires don't like at all. Thanks!

John Adams (812.325.0499) called to ask to speak with the mayor directly regarding his frustration with mud all over the road at 11th and Walnut.

Dear City of Bloomington,
This is not a complaint, rather a thank you. Thank you for completing the Old 37 Curve Correction project so quickly and for doing a great job. I wish that the I-69 project were so efficient.
Sincerely,
Troy Byler

I had a voice mail stating that the caller was apparently transferred to the wrong department but perhaps I could send information to appropriate department. The caller stated that they were calling regarding the street cut on College just south of 10th Street. Caller advised the "road cut was absolutely ridiculous" and "needs to be fixed". There was no name/number left on voice mail.

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?

There is a big ditch that has developed over the last year that needs to be fix in the front of my house(1008 East Thornton Drive) It is on the main street(Thornton Drive)Can you please have someone out to fix it soon? With winter close it will be extra dangerous to park there.I think it just needs to be filled in with gravel. There is not a lot of parking available there because of the ditch.
Thanks

The parking stripes on South Dunn are no longer visible between the 1200-1400 blocks. Can these please be repainted? This will help improve parking on the street. Thank you.

On S High Street, adjacent to the back yard of 2102 E Wimbleton there is a footpath that has had some orange safety barriers on it for who knows how long. Are there any plans to fix that fence? It looks like someone ran into it ages ago.

The work going on with utility poles from 17th & Rogers intersection to the Arlington roundabout is often dangerous for traffic. Local businesses are still open since they cut off the intersection itself and adjacent neighbors need access. Basically no street striping is present there’s random marks on one side that would be too tight of a lane, in addition to a partially ground up area of previous striping that still has a lot present and reflectors. The whole road needs redone. When is the projected finish of the utility pole relocation? This is a HUGE hazard.
