Sidewalk & Curb Complaints
810 N Walnut St
- Case Date:
- 8/12/2025
Every time it rains our street floods severely and then backs up onto the sidewalks and coats them in a thick layer of mud. It’s a combination of heavy storms that the storm drain on the corner of 12th and Walnut cannot keep up with and a residual problem caused by the fiberware that was installed last year. Ever since they dug up the corner of 12th and Walnut the ground is nothing but mud and has been slowly taking over the sidewalk. It is unsafe to walk on as it is incredibly slippery and is at least an inch thick.

This house has several large pieces of upholstered furniture on the front porch. It’s unsanitary and is not adhering to city ordinances.

A few of the street signs at this intersection have been stolen (two blocks directly east is a notorious fraternity living in an apartment complex). There is currently no indication of the street names and also no sign informing drivers that Cottage Grove is one-way west.
Street & Traffic Signs

There was an accident on our corner (9th & Walnut) this weekend. I didn’t see it, but heard it and saw the immediate aftermath. Looking at the positions of the cars, I guessed that the car that was hit had been crossing Walnut via 9th and was t-boned. When I looked at the stop signs on 9th Street, I realized that there is no indication for the driver that this is NOT a 4-way stop. These big crosswalks could easily make people think that it’s a 4-way. These 9th Street stop signs need “cross traffic does not stop” signs added to them so that drivers new to Bloomington can be safer.
Street Lights
810 N Walnut ST
- Case Date:
- 7/5/2025
Two LED fixtures were recently installed at this intersection, both on the east side of Walnut, one north of 12th and the other south of 12th. They are *very* bright. Is it possible to swap them out with a lower wattage? We do see others in the neighborhood that appear to be dimmer and don't cast so much harsh light onto neighboring properties. It would be a relief if these were also more resident-friendly.
Excessive Growth

This house completely neglects their yard all summer unless the city gives them tickets. Their landlord is useless and won’t take action unless threatened with fines. I take care of my yard and I’m sick of living next to this.
