Can the city blow out/vacuum the leaves/litter in the gutters/curbs/sidewalks on Kirkwood Avenue just east of Walnut Street? This is one of the “signature” streets of Bloomington, and it looks as if this maintenance hasn’t been performed in some time. The present condition fails to give the proper impression of the city of which Bloomington touts itself, especially at this time of year when we have many first-time visitors to the city. Thank you.

Hole still not fixed

Still a hole there - still damaging our cars

There is a hole at the end of our gravel driveway that our cars hit everyday going in and out of our driveway. We have opened several cases explaining that the WHOLE ally needs repaved. Twice now y'all have sent out crews to put down pavement in some of the holes. The pavement is loose and keeps breaking apart, causing more damage. Neither time has the crew repaved the ally as they should have and neither time did the crew put pavement in the hole in front of our driveway. Now, y'all are closing the cases I open, stating that crews have already been to my location, however, they haven't fixed anything, but consistently made it worse. We are documenting the damage being done to our cars and everyday I am opening a case here until y'all fix the ally properly by repaving the entire ally. My questions are why aren't you fixing it correctly? Is it because our address is not in a rich neighborhood? Do we not deserve an ally we can drive on without damaging our cars? Please actually fix the issue.

So to be very hello. I previously submitted a report for potholes on the alley by one city center. The crew did a nice job of patching the alley on the east side of one city center (120 w 7th), but I was actually reporting issues with the alley that's on the north side of one city center. It runs east-west. There are some bad potholes from when the gas company did work a couple years back. Thank you.

I tried to describe this issue over the phone but the street dept. employee only wanted to blame my driveway for destroying the city street. What?? The problem is the street gutters. When the 800 block of Briarcliff was repaved about 6 years ago, it was ground down and the asphalt was carried into the gutter and made for a smooth transition to the remaining gutter concrete. The 900 block of Briarcliff was not ground down and repaved at that time. We are still waiting for the rest of Briarcliff to be repaved properly. In the 900 block the street's asphalt is approx. 3 inches higher than the concrete gutter so when you include the yard side of the gutter we have one enormous gully. I know of one broken ankle because of this and two weeks ago the Amazon driver twisted his ankle stepping into the gully getting out of his truck. I had asked about putting concrete in the gully in front of my mailbox and was told by street employee NO, that would destroy the street. So what can be done to either pave the gutter in the 900 block like the 800 block or grind down the street pavement in the 900 block so it makes a smooth transition with the gutter. I know what I would do but the city owns the street. We on the 900 block pay the same city tax rate as the 800 block so I think we should have the same street setup. I did ask the street employee to bring out a two wheel drive vehicle and try to drive through the gutter. Not surprised no one showed up. Thanks

Majority of streets and drain culverts in Park Ridge East addition need repair/repaved. There are areas on Saratoga which are really bad. Stretch of road in front of my house consistently fills up with road debris and water. Really hoping the streets in the addition could be repaved rather than filling potholes that end up re-occurrng due to poor drainage.

Street needs repaved. Filed u-report 8/14/21 reporting same problem which was closed 8/19/21 indicating hot patch crew sent to area. Street in front of my property on west side of street and extending down to Saratoga Drive remains with areas of broken down and damaged pavement that was not hot patched. The patching is a temporary fix that does not last due to the poor drainage. The drain culvert in front of my house is filled with road debris, sand and dirt. After any significant rain, this collects water which does not drain as the culverts need repaired to allow for better drainage to the road drain near Saratoga Drive. The road slopes to the west which compounds the problem. Was told last year the issue with the water collecting in front of my house in the culvert was due to asphalt that was placed at the end of my driveway blocking the flow of the water. My driveway was replaced in March with nothing blocking the culvert now, and it continues to be an issue. I noticed the badly damaged road and culvert on Saratoga Drive was repaired thankfully. Would like to see the same kind of repair done along this area of Park Ridge Rd , however, the majority of the roads and culverts in the addition need attention.
