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.
I had sent in a request on 5/19/25 Case #202787 reporting that Olive Street needs a concrete curb installed. Due to the excessive rainfall this has caused flooding issues for 1502 S. Olive and the house on the corner of Hillside and Olive (1144 E. Hillside Dr.). I was informed that this was on the paving list and there was plans for an asphalt curb. I called on 6/9/25 and spoke to the Engineering dept. (Iris) about installing a concrete curb instead of asphalt. There is already a partial concrete curb that runs past 1502. It needs to have a concrete curb all the way up the hill so that rain will not flood into the driveway and along the house of 1502, plus it runs past the curb into the yard of 1144 E. Hillside causing flooding in the basement. They have a sump pump now, but it's old and could quit at any time. It's already August and there hasn't been any kind of activity on this street. Do you have an estimated date as to when the street will be paved and the curb installed? Also, there is a construction sign in the yard of 1144 E. Hillside that has been there all summer and would like it to be moved. Thank you for any information you can provide!
Our whole road is tore up after the construction my the new road pass through on rogers and sidewalks are in shbles from the water main fix
Recent construction of over-large building next to old stone church on Grant has caused drainage issues on the alley intersection between 9th and 10th, Grant and Lincoln. When it rains, a lake forms with nowhere for the water to go now. People who built the building should be required to fix this before winter.
The entrance from W Gordon Pike on to S. Wicken was recently replaced, S Wickens Rd. and curb outlining the newly paved portion connecting the two roads was left at higher elevation. Cars are having to slow down once they turn as this is wearing on tires and vehicles it is a concern. The entry seems worse than before it was dug up and repaved. It is much like the "bump" that was repaired recently on Rockport due to the transition not being leveled over making the roadway smooth.
I’m very grateful for the new paving of 11th St. They’ve placed what I think are temporary yellow lines to mark the center of the street. Unfortunately, they’re marked them too far to one side so it doesn’t allow for people to stay in their lane and avoid the cars parked on the side of the road. I’m hoping the final lane lines will be moved over to give enough room for cars to park and for traffic to pass those cars without having to cross the yellow line. There appears to be plenty of room on the other side of the road if the lines are moved over. Thanks!
West 11th street was recently repaved. The new lines marking a portion of the newly paved street are not correctly marked. The new lines do not take into account that there is street parking on the north side of the street and the yellow lines do not match other portions of the paved road.
