Along the sidewalk and next to a utility pole is a plate on the ground installed by the fiber optic company. At the SE corner of the plate there is a gap between it and the dirt, large enough for a small shoe or animal to step into and be injured.

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.

Gigabtye Contracted companies placed these while laying lines but have not returned to address their lack of filling in the side. This one just a great example but many if not all are this bad. Easy to fall into or wreck your bike if you don’t see the ruts on all sides. Especially for those of us who walk/ride at night. Where’s the oversight if any? Please fix these.

Duke Energy has refused to remove a large orange cable that is down on the length of my property (3/4 of an acre). They say someone else needs to take care of it, like maybe a cable company. I am concerned that it is dangerous to kids in my neighborhood and I cannot do yard work around it. Moreover, it is in the utility easement. They said to pick it up and see if it is attached to the utility line and I am unwilling to do that because it seems risky. In any case, no utility should be leaving their waste on my property and they should take responsibility for removing it safely.

Cylindrical hole about 4" radius drilled into street by fiber-optic workers and left unfilled. Dangerous area because there are no sidewalks along at that location, so people are forced to walk on the street. Hole is closest to SW corner of intersection. Ankle-breaker!

Fiber-optic people bored a hole through the street, then filled it up with gravel instead of asphalt. Now, the gravel has washed away and there is a hole that someone could step in and trip. It is close to the scooter corral on the SW corner of Grant/Cottage Grove.

The City of Bloomington was doing road construction repairs outside of my building and broke my light pole and never came back to replace or repair!

about a 10" inch wide hole that's over a foot deep right in the middle of 17th street. I phoned this into 911 10/20/2024, but nothing has been done.
