Drainage or Runoff

Case Date:
8/29/2024

I live at 3230 S Abby Lane. One one side of my house is a water drain from the culdesac. It has had so much sand and debris is no longer drains down the hill as it should. It overflows and washes out my stairs I have to the trail. I have cleaned it numerous times but I get poison ivy and seen several snakes. Neither are my cup of tea. I think it should be dug out better and a solution found for it to flow down the hill and not over my steps. On the other side of my house there are several trees down on the city property. Trees were removed and just pushed over. Due to the fact I am at the bottom of the hill all of the leaves and sticks run down and clog at the bottom. The water backs up and is washing out my yard. I have more and more holes in my yard where it is washing from underneath and there are more logs exposed that much have been buried under my yard that I now have to mow around. The water and mud flow over the trail and it leaves a terrible mess. I go shovel it off and try to keep the trail clean. Several people have asked if I work for the city because I am always down there trying to clean it up. I am getting old and tired. I would love for the city to push all of the mess to another area so the water will actually drain to the drain hole in the field across the trail as it was meant to do. There has to be a better solution. I am upset I would so hard on my house and both sides are getting washed away.

Line of Sight

Case Date:
7/11/2018

I called over 30 days ago to notify you the city owned trees between our property and the street are blocking the line of sight getting out of our driveway. Since that phone call, there have been 3 near-misses by vehicles I could not see. Our address is 4000 S Jamie Lane. This needs to be taken care of ASAP. Thank you, Kathy Carter

Blocked Sidewalk

501 West 4th Street

Case Date:
8/27/2018

Trucks and equipment are always blocking this sidewalk. For over the past year and still daily. Some trucks are also parked illegally and are too far out into the street. This needs to stop, it's been going on way too long. And the workers don't seem to care about the residents. I saw a blue truck turn and block the road and start backing up in front of a older man riding his bicycle, and the man was clearing visible, and had to come to a quick stop, even though he had the right of way.

Traffic Related Complaints

148 North Dunn Street

Case Date:
8/30/2018

New bicycle sign completely blocks the line of sight for oncoming traffic in both lanes. You need to pull out so far to see around the sign, you are already in the travel lane. Bicycle station sign needs to be turned the other direction parallel to Dunn street, removed, or lowered so that it does not block line of sight.

Please send someone out to cut the weeds on S. Ford Avenue in Bloomington. You cannot pull out onto Ralston Drive from Ford and see if any cars are coming from the right due to all the weeds. This is every year, you would think it could get taken care of without people living on the road having to make numerous calls and letters. You can't even pass a car on the road due to the weeds! I will be going up the chain of command with this issue.

Biking & Walking

1916 E Arden DR

Case Date:
9/5/2018

The problem exists at the intersection of E. Arden Dr. and S. High St. There is a 4 way stop there. People driving on High St. regularly run this stop sign, even when there is a car on Arden Dr. that has the right of way. There have been many close calls there. This is also an intersection where families and children cross High St. on their way to Southeast Park. Something needs to be done to discourage cars from running the stop sign on High St. before someone gets hurt.
