It's not really a pothole, more like a bad spot in the road that dips down quite deep, large enough for 1 tire. Driving East on Moore's Pike, just past the entrance to Hyde Park, on the right is a large dip in the road, large enough for one tire. Everyone swerves to miss it, which could easily cause an accident into oncoming traffic.
A white Dodge 1500 van with Indiana license plate # 736MDU has been parked on the south side of First Street in front of 324/322 E. 1st St. since May 29. It has not moved during that time period. At night and in early morning hours, we have seen a man getting in and out of the van.
Polly-Grimshaw trail/path and N Pete Ellis Rd intersection used to have a sign in the middle of this CrossWalk that read: "state law - cars must stop for pedestrians". That sign is gone and poses a fatal error for pedestrians using the bike/ped path called "polly grimshaw trail". With the influx of new drivers every Fall into this Town, I feel that we must have more definitive-traffic-pedestrian warnings. tx
I'm not sure if this would be a City of Bloomington issue or not, but I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. My wife and I moved into the house at 322 E. 1st St. last July and since we've moved here there has been an utility wire hanging down from the pole roped up on our fence behind our garage (the yellow one). There's also what appears to be a separate coax cable hanging from the pole on the roof of our garage. Our home was not wired for cable when we bought it so I assume it might be the previous line. We are hoping to beautify and clean up our backyard this spring and we'd like to get these wires taken care of. I assume they aren't hot, but I obviously don't want to test my theory. Who should we get a hold of to get this taken care of? Is there a way to tell who owns and is responsible for things dangling off this utility pole? Thanks, -James

Dead street tree. It seemed alive this spring, but the buds all fell off.
The location is only an estimate, but I drive on Moores Pike almost everyday to know that this is a new pothole. I couldn't take a picture of it since it's on a very busy and narrow road. It's hard to see when driving since it blends well with the asphalt and it's at an angle where it can't be seen because of the hills. Even if it were visible and I tried to avoid it, it would be difficult since the road is narrow and there is oncoming traffic almost all the time. But I can tell you that it's pretty deep, that it damaged one of my tire rims. I attached a photo of the damage. Please let me know if there is anything the city can do to help cover the cost for repair.
City Arborist told me to contact HAND for tree code violations. There are at least 1/2 dozen dead trees at entrance to The Arbors Apartments on E. Moores Pike. Several large limbs have fallen recently, causing hazard to people, dogs and cars. Manager is aware of problem & has said he plans to remove them, but weeks have passed & no action has been taken. I walk my dog on the path & road where these trees are & it frightens me to walk by them, especially on a windy day.
