Potholes, Other Street Repair

3617 West 3rd Street

Case Date:
7/20/2015

Belle Ave. in Highland Village has been touched up for years. I first complained for my elderly mother who owns her home on Middle Ct. I now own a home on S. Parkway Dr. It is tearing our cars up. Please REPAVE THIS BUSY STREET. I AM PAYING TAXES FOR THIS RIGHT OF PASSAGE. I reported this problem of the old run down streets in Highland Village yrs. ago and a city employee contacted me wanting an exact street as 'some are county and some are city' If the highly traveled street of Belle Ave. is not a city street I will contact the county. They all look tacky but Belle is the one which POUNDS AND BOUNCES AND RUINS MY CAR THE MOST EVEN AT TWO MPH. Thank you.

Sidewalk Requests

2631 N Dunn ST

Case Date:
7/20/2015

I am writing to you on behalf of the Blue Ridge Neighborhood Association Board to reaffirm our sidewalk request made on March 11th of 2014 and appearing on page 85 of the 2015 Council Sidewalk Committee Packet. As you may know the neighborhood of Blue Ridge is bounded by College Ave on the West, Dunn Street on the East, and Old State Road 37 (and, in part, the Cascades trail) on the North. While Blue Ridge has many positive aspect, unfortunately walkability and biking accessibility to the rest of Bloomington is not one. Dunn Street is narrow, with low visibility hampered by hills, and College Avenue has high-speed traffic. Bloomington Mass Transit does not serve our neighborhood. These factors combine to make walking or biking into or out of Blue Ridge a challenge. It would be of great benefit to our neighborhood if some means could be found to connect our neighborhood via sidewalks to the rest of Bloomington and give our 220 households a means to safely access Bloomington other than by car. With that goal in mind, we request consideration of a sidewalk on North Dunn Street connecting SR 45/46 to Tamarack and ultimately Lakewood Drive. We thank you for considering this matter.

Blocked Street

Case Date:
7/18/2015

Alley is significantly eroded, making passage impossible. Vehicles cannot pass because one side is at least 6 inches lower than the other. For me, this means I cannot use my garage because the access is on the alley (715 West 13thStreet). The impassable part of the alley is north of 12th Street running parallel toFairview and Maple, which it lies between.

George Saliday told me I had to move from 'his' city owned sidewalk as me standing and speaking with one other person on said sidewalk was 'causing a hazard'. I would like an explanation as to the city law or rule prohibiting persons from conversing in a stationary manner while on a city sidewalk. I would also like to understand why a non law enforcement public employee is enforcing directives of the public and why he was wearing no identification. Thank you.

Traffic Related Complaints

Case Date:

In front of the Kroger on W 3rd st, where the traffic light leads into the parking lot area, there is a missing stop sign on the road that leads from the strip mall with the Subway to the other area where Kroger and Big Lots are located. This could cause an accident and needs to be fixed.

Parks & Playgrounds

Case Date:
7/16/2015

My question is about the lack of mowing in the middle of Sherwood Oaks Park. Is the plan for this park to make the old football field into woods? The trees in there are several years old now and beginning to shade the "trail" around the park. Shoudn't someone bush-hog this part of the park? One of the things I have always enjoyed about this park is the black raspberries that grow on the western side of the old field. The new trees in the middle are starting to shade this area, and soon those berries will fade away, as they prefer "edges" with sun to the east of them. The same sort of thing is happening in Olcott park, so I am guessing that this is part of your plan, but if it is not a real plan, can someone come and cut all that brush down? Thanks! Kim
