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.
I work days,and can't sleep due to either a man hole cover or piece of sheet metal laying in the road. It's been there for days and is extremely loud and annoying. Can it be removed?
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!
There is a pothole that is forming on the side street at 822 W. 1st Street. It recently formed and had a pretty big cavity underneath it. Enough to cause damage if people keep driving on it and it erodes.
As you approach the stoplight at 3rd Street and Indiana - heading west - there are 2 manhole covers in the right lane before you get to the light. If you hit it, it feels like you've hit a big pothole as the asphalt around the cover is significantly lower creating a pretty big drop off. Every morning, I myself and everyone in front of me is doing their best to avoid it - either by swerving into the bike line or the left lane.
