Near the middle of May, Bloomington experienced several days of heavy rain. I understand that there were many problems around town. One of many near my house involved the flooding of Kinser Pike due to intense sheet runoff from the under-construction development, Kinser Ridge. Kinser Ridge had a silt fence up, but the runoff breached it. The muddy water flowed downslope through my neighbor's garage, yard shed, and driveway, and through the farm field to the north. This amounted to so much water that the culvert under Kinser Pike could not hold it, and the silty water flowed over Kinser Pike. The water pooled in the road for several hours. This was a problem worthy of a uReport. However, my actual gripe today is that the developer has not attempted to repair the damage or reinstall the silt fence. Now, when it rains again, the silty water will flow again with no impediment because the soil is now at the top of the broken-down silk fence. Behind my property line is disturbed bare soil that eroded into my yard last time, and because no effort has been made to fix it, the mud from the soil erosion will again bury my grass and trench out my garden. The bottom line is that I would like the developer to remediate the erosion problems in the northeast corner of the development before it rains again. P.S. They have had acres of bare soil uncovered for about a month. Isn't that prohibited?

The city has marked for a pipe installation project adjacent to my address on East Fifth Street and the man who mows my yard mowed over the flags that mark the gas pipeline and water hook up lines. They will need to be marked again before the project can begin.

Two drains on city street- E Windermere Woods Dr which parallels College Mall Road -are filled to the rim which means there is dangerous water buildup in the traffic lane. The two drains are not directly in front of condos. They are on Windermere Woods Dr a few feet from the junction with Covenanter near College Mall Road. There also is a green space between Windermere Woods Dr and College Mall Road which now looks like a lake. There also is city owns the land but we mow and maintain the trees. There is a huge drain near the corner of College Mall Road and Covenanter which also is backed up creating the lake.

Hi! My name is Lauren Coleman and I’m a Cannabis Expert. I recently visited Hope’s Dispensary and purchased 4 small black disposable vapes. After 2 days of use, I was very sick with a bad cough until I switched to a different brand. I went back today to let them know and they told me they make them themselves and would not exchange them so I left them at the store. I’m not sure what they’re using to make these, or where they make them, but I believe it’s dangerous with so many kids and college students in town looking for something to smoke. Please look into this; it could be very serious.

There is noisy construction taking place overnight at my apartment. This happened previously as 2nd street was shut down, making an unlivable situation in which construction loudly vibrated the apartment from 7pm-3am every night for a week. My last ureport received a response that this would not continue in the future. Since 2nd street repairs will take more than a year, I sincerely hope this is a fluke. Please do no schedule any more construction overnight. 2nd street by Rogers is a residential area with several houses and apartments. The jackhammers and construction vehicles are extremely loud and disruptive of sleep.

There are steel cables attached to limestone blocks at this location, intended to prevent unauthorized parking. However, these cables are not clearly visible at night or at dusk. Unfortunately, a family member fell over one of the cables yesterday evening and sustained a head injury requiring medical treatment. Given the lack of visibility and the safety risk these cables pose, I respectfully request that steps be taken to either improve their visibility or implement a safer alternative to prevent further incidents.

The contractor doing underground work (fiber?) left a bunch of loose soil along the west side of Walnut St Pike. They came back and seeded and strawed some mother areas but not this.
