Trash and worry in the street taking up parking places
Trash and worry in the street taking up parking places
There appears to be no street sign at the intersection of W. 17th and Crescent (just before the bridge going over the bridge over I69). If there is one, I certainly could not find it. I was looking for an apt complex (Union at Crescent) and wasn't sure I had the right road to turn on. Sign would sure be helpful. Thanks!
I submitted this case on Monday. They still haven’t done anything about it. Would you give them a nudge ? (link to case below ) https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=204838
There is a long wire hanging from a pole into the yard at the corner of 2nd St and Eastside Dr. It is the southeast corner. It is quite long and I am hoping not a live wire.
city parcel - the first u report was reported on 7-2-25 the second report was reported on 8-5-25 the parcel is over grown with invasive plants and weeds are growing along the curb so the sidewalk is hard to use and it's the only sidewalk on the street. The house next to the city parcel is 1004 is also overgrown with invasive plants and the curb has weeds along it. The city parcel also gets trash from the dumpster from the Opportunity House.
I received a parking ticket, I put money in the meter but it isn’t working. I don’t think it’s fair to get a ticket when your meter took my money but still reads red. 5 th meter N of Kirkwood on College, courthouse side of the street
Response to case 204377 overgrown weeds and weeds along the curb is taking over the sidewalk. The sidewalk is hard to walk on with the overgrowth and school starts Wednesday so it's not a safe area for kids to walk on.
Recently, the City has redone the intersections along East Cottage Grove to make the corners ADA-compliant. Unfortunately, the jobs were not completed. The installations of the warning plates are fine, but the street surfaces flanking them are not. The streets are all eaten up with deep, sharp gullies on each side of every installation at each corner of all four streets involved (Washington, Lincoln, Grant, and Dunn) where they cut through the concrete to prepare for the work. Also, the bit of asphalt applied to the corners afterwards was just mounded up and left bumpy and difficult for chairs (and walkers!) to navigate. Right now, all intersections are far more dangerous than they were before the project started, and if left in this condition will only get worse when debris, leaves, snow and ice begin to accumulate, and the rate of street degradation will intensify.
If you are done working on E Hunter Ave, please come and get your sign. Sign has been sitting in front of 1718 E Hunter Ave for the last 3 weeks. See picture. No work being done on the street since then. Thank you.
The ADA requires that sidewalks be firm, stable and slip-resistant. Numerous bricks that make up the downtown sidewalk are loose or missing. I saw an older woman trip on one of these in front of Fountain Square this week. I helped her up and when her husband took her to the ER because she may have broken her ankle. When it’s wet, these sidewalks are slippery than concrete sidewalks. They look nice but they are hazardous. At the least, the city needs to do a better job of maintaining them. Thank you.
