Excessive Growth
1155 W 3rd ST
- Case Date:
- 6/9/2013
By the cemetary where 3rd turns into Kirkwood both the signs saying which lane ends are not visible to drivers because of tree limbs. I understand that Bloomington wants to have trees to beautify the city but I have lived here 9 years and the overgrown trees that are never pruned or trimmed are a safety hazard!!
Sidewalk & Curb Complaints
1201 E Benson CT
- Case Date:
- 6/5/2013
I have called several times over the last 3 years to report a dangerous curb on our street corner. Last summer a young child was injured when they hit the broken curb and fell. Please take care of this soon. The standing water each winter makes it more and more of a hazard as the cement freezes and thaws constantly there. Perhaps you could eliminate the standing water and prevent another deteriorated curb situation in the future. Your quick response would very much be appreciated.
Thank you.

For HAND:
Please come check 701 S Eastside Drive. There have been 4 plastic bags with yard waste in them out in the yard. Obviously they cannot be picked up, there is a note with the reason why attached to one of the bags. The students in the house need a reminder that they cannot leave these bags there for weeks on end. Thanks.

Traffic Suggestions
2712 S Banta AVE
- Case Date:
- 5/23/2013
The two blocks of S. Banta Ave that connect Tapp Road to Ralston and West Graham have no sidewalks, and many children live in the vicinity (including my own). The Broadview Learning Center's playground a few blocks away is a major draw for the neighborhood children, both in houses and in apartment buildings up and down this road. However, the lack of traffic control on Ralston and the ability to cut up Banta Avenue from Tapp Road during times of the day when the Tapp/Rockport intersection becomes congested due to commuter and other traffic (especially those using it as a means to connect to 37), means that cars race up Banta to speed around the corner and shortcut to Rockport. Since the neighborhood children have no sidewalks here, or on Graham (which is a major route to the only park that is easily accessible), it is incredibly hazardous.
If the city won't oversee the creation of sidewalks on these busy "shortcut" roads, could some signs and speed bumps be put in? Particularly on Banta, which is built on a hill up one side and down the other, irresponsible car traffic makes all the parents (and neighbors) frightened for our children.
Additionally, the triangular corner of Rockport and Graham and Banta has no shoulder trimmed back from the large pine trees there, which not only makes it difficult to see around, but more hazardous for the many bus patrons that get off at the Countryview Apartments, and are forced to cut through the private property on the opposite side of the street, rather than risk being hit by a motorist that can't see them around that corner.

Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)
806 S Stull AVE
- Case Date:
- 5/15/2013
A number of neighbors on our street have noticed the storm drains at 806 & 809 S. Stull appear to be clogged. We can see the stagnant water through the grate and it is above the culvert pipe and is just standing there. Please see attached photo. We are concerned about mosquito breeding and drain overflow into the street during heavy rain. Please send someone out to fix the situation. Many Thanks!
