Line of Sight

Case Date:
7/13/2017

There is a very uneven crack in the sidewalk in front of The Bishop just up from the corner of 4th and Walnut, sort of in front of the tree that was removed. Last night I was walking up the sidewalk and fell on all fours because of the crack. Luckily I didn't break my already repaired wrist to which I am still paying medical expenses and only escaped with a cut knee. When I sat down, a woman mentioned that while visiting The Bishop, she sits in their outside seating area and sees people trip over this crack countless times. Upon hearing that, I too remembered seeing a woman fall on all fours in the same spot. Clearly, this is a hazard that should be looked at and taken care of. Thank you.

Potholes, Other Street Repair

Case Date:
9/18/2017

Hoping that the bushes that impede into the alleys can be trimmed back again now that summer is ending. The alley just east of Woodlawn Ave heading to south to Hunter is the worst offender, but the alley going east from Woodlawn to Faculty could use some trimming also. They all tend to scratch the car as we navigate through those alleys on a daily basis. Additionally, there are some bushes on the south end of the Subway building that block half of the sidewalk so that you can't see to pull out south on Woodlawn until the front of the car is already into the northbound lane, but more importantly, they block the view of pedestrians walking south until they are walking out into the alley and into the path of cars coming out of the alley onto Woodlawn. I've asked the manager inside Subway who said he cared for the landscaping and he said he'd talk to the building managers. I've also called the building managers and discussed the issue with them and nothing has improved.

Upended sidewalk on 2nd street, especially on south side of 2nd at corner of Ballantine, but also further west on 2nd. As elderly people, we find this absolutely treacherous! Sorry we can't send a photo; we have "dumb" phones. Thank you!

Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

Case Date:
9/25/2017

Hello, On our property at 3706 South Court, sits a very large Bradford Pear tree. The tree is close the curb next to the street and I was told by a landscaping company, it was probably most likely owned by the city of Bloomington. It has lifted our sidewalk significantly as well as part of our driveway. This is a liability issue because many children ride bikes, scooters,sevreal people walk their dogs etc around there and could easily not pay attention and trip and fall. Someone from this department really needs to come out and assess the situation. You are welcome to call me or email. Thank you. Jane Mehrizi

Blocked Sidewalk

Case Date:
12/5/2017

I'm not sure which service to report this under, but Deer Park Management has not been sufficiently taking care of leaf removal at The Boulders apartment complex. They hired a contractor, who just blew the leaves onto the curb/street/sidewalk, leaving some of the sidewalks covered in leaves (slippery when wet), and blocking storm drains in the street. I also noticed on the leaf pickup map that our neighborhood was marked as complete, but if you were to drive through, you would see that this isn't the case (S. Weatherstone Lane).

The sidewalk in front of the McDonald's on Pete Ellis Drive is in very poor condition. Many elderly people walk this route to the mall and it poses a serious tripping/walking hazard to them.

Street Snow Removal

Case Date:
1/12/2018

multiple complaints from hospital staff this morning about the disregard to the snow and ice removal on 1st street directly behind the hospital. many people have traveled in from out of county to work and 1st street was by far the worst road they encountered. our ambulance crew has to use this road to transport patients in as well, and staff have to cross the street to gain access to the building from our parking lots, which results in potential risk for employee injuries.
