Is there reimbursement for pothole damage?
Is there reimbursement for pothole damage?
A back tire on my car was completely blown out tonight driving down High Street between Maxwell & Covenanter. The pot holes along that stretch are REDICULOUS!!! They were all filled with water due to rain so I couldn't see them and I almost lost control of my vehicle when my tire went into a deep one. My car was forced onto the sidewalk. I could have hit someone walking there! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO REPAIR THAT STREET!! It will cost me over $800 to get my car towed and new tire + installation. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION!
Sidewalk is half covered by dirt/weeds inhibiting pedestrian access to sidewalk.
When the curb between the bike lane and car lane was reconstructed gaps were left in the pavement. Generally the pavement repair was not done to the standard usually expected of Bloomington roads.
Multiple potholes in this stretch of Lincoln, ranging from the size of a tea plate to a dinner plate. Bikers in the bike lane have to enter the car lane to avoid them. The road is also covered in gravel and debris from construction on a nearby apartment.
Thanks to the Zach Sowders crew for making Adams St between 7th and the Bline a safer and more appealing thorough fare.
There is a spot in the street at Post Road and Meadowlark where it was cut into while the street light on the other side was installed. It was patched after the installation but now it has partially collapsed and may get worse.
Good Afternoon, There is a deep sinkhole on College Avenue in front of 1204 College Avenue. Since it is near the curb and in a parking spot, it is dangerous. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.
The east/west alley to the south of the building is overgrown and we can not access our garage enterance.
The city alley along the north side of our home on 1006 South Grant Street, has a few large, deep potholes. They need to be filled in, new gravel to level with rest of alley. These potholes were created by utility trucks when each did some work in the spring. These heavy trucks (city tree trim, utility repair, cable repair, etc.) park to repair at the poles and their continued heavy weight created deep holes. Driving down the alley (which daily serves 5-6 drivers in three adjacent homes) has become very challenging. One can't veer easily to the side due to alley being narrow - and no one wants damage to our cars from suddenly hitting potholes! This gets exacerbated in rainy, muddy weather when you can't easily see potholes. Thank you for your attention.
