The sidewalk is crumbling in front of this house and needs to be fixed.
The sidewalk is crumbling in front of this house and needs to be fixed.
I just tripped on the sidewalk here. It has a trench cut across it. It needs to be fixed.
Sidewalk is crumbling, bricks falling out into the road
Loose asphalt gravel causing traction issues on sidewalk. The metal plates covering the broken culverts have unfastened themselves and don't cover the culverts
The complaint is the lack of curb. Trucks from next door atrhe drywall company, the mail people, and cars in general cut the corner and drive into my yard all the time. Every year i am filling holes from tires with dirt. Can I request a curb?
This sidewalk issue is on Brighton Crest, but the house faces Bennington Blvd. I have lived in the neighborhood (Gentry Honours) for 10 years and this sidewalk situation has been a problem the whole time. Their downspout drain sits right on the edge of this area, but also water and mud come down the hill from their yard. When it rains, it looks like the photo. When it snows or becomes ice, it’s terribly dangerous. Most walkers have learned to walk around it or move to the other side of the street to avoid it. I understand that before I moved here, the owners tried to correct it by digging into the easement and adding rocks. Unfortunately, it’s getting worse and a proper fix is needed. Thank you.
Gravel driveway washed down onto sidewalk. Difficult to pass with wheelchair.
Large elevated piece of sidewalk, couple inches tall
The attached photo really does not do the issue justice - the road on the west side of my house (spring st) has large chunks fallen off, eroding. It needs repaired and a curb needs added, I live at the bottom of a hill and all of the water for blocks up comes rushing into my yard and into my house, vs the culvert just further back in my yard. I talked with someone in sidewalks about this almost two years ago - with the dramatic rain we get now, this issue cannot really be ignored any longer. I would so appreciate a curb put in, road repair, and the curb on the corner of the street raised as well to direct the rain into the drain on the street in front of my house.
A homeowner at 3430 S McDougal St, Bloomington, IN 47403 is regularly parking 3 pickup trucks on their front lawn instead of their driveway. Repeated vehicle traffic has destroyed the grass and created deep ruts and a large mud pit. Mud is being tracked into the roadway and the nearby storm drain. The vehicles also frequently block the sidewalk, requiring pedestrians to walk in the street. Summary of concerns: • Parking on unimproved surface: Multiple pickup trucks are regularly parked on the front lawn instead of a driveway or paved surface. • Sidewalk accessibility concerns: Vehicles regularly drive across the sidewalk to access the lawn parking area. The repeated traffic has created a muddy area on the sidewalk that makes pedestrian passage difficult. I have personally observed pedestrians, including individuals using crutches and wheelchairs, needing to step into the street to get around the area. • Stormwater / drainage concerns: Mud from the yard is being tracked into the street and a storm drain located along the curb. • Sediment entering storm drain: The storm drain and surrounding curb area are frequently covered with mud and sediment. • Potential utility concerns: Repeated vehicle traffic and soil compaction are occurring in an area where underground utilities may be located. • Long-term issue: This situation has been occurring and progressively worsening for approximately five years as vehicles repeatedly park on the lawn and drive across the sidewalk.
