We have a sidewalk in front of our home that is a major tripping hazard. Tree roots have lifted the sidewalk almost 3 inches making a serious tripping hazard. I contacted the city about 18 months ago to request to be put on the 'fix list' with us paying for the concrete, but nothing has been done. Please can this be addressed soon. Thank you.
Deep pothole on South side of Hillside outside the driveway of 208 E Hillside Dr.
There is a manhole cover here that keeps getting left open. Last fall my husband fell in it and injured his leg. Can this be made safer? Mopeds, bikes, and pedestrians use this area with some frequency. The manhole cover can be hard to find, it is not far from the retaining wall near the Stonebelt house on the south side of the street.
At the end of the driveway at 2139 S. Bent Tree Drive, blacktop has been eroding away to a pothole. Water drainage from the street has been making it larger over time.
The construction on Rhorer and Gordon Pike has pushed a lot of the thru-traffic on the South side to East Burks Dr., resulting in a traffic load that the small, curved road wasn't designed for. More cars are coming through, and not always at a safe speed. This issue is highlighted by the fact that currently, there are no signs prohibiting parking on either side of Burks Dr., so residents park on both sides of the street. This creates a one-lane road that has to accommodate a large traffic load (relative to it's design). Some residents have even taken to parking large tractor/trailer vehicles on the road, which almost completely eliminates visibility of oncoming traffic as you round the bend going from west-to-east. My suggestion is to please restrict parking to the east-to-west side of the street, and post "No Parking" signs on the west-to-east side of the street. This allows for the greatest visibility for both sides of traffic, and also maintains two-way traffic, an important element to South side transportation with alternate routes still under construction.
Walk sign to cross high street came on with audio "cross high street" at the same time the left arrow of traffic on hillside was given a protected green. I confirmed both white wall sign, audio crossing notice, and the green protected turn light were all on simultaneously. Almost got struck by a turning car (car making left turn from east hillside northbound onto high street). Request was made using the pedestrian cross button on the northwest corner of hillside and high. Thank you for looking into this.
Overgrown plants making it hard to use the sidewalk on the way to Elementary school
Three trees, honey locust, City owned trees have roots that have buckled sidewalks and my driveway is dangerously close to each one on either side of my driveway. People have tripped, with walking, then with canes, walkers, strollers and I have tripped and fallen due to trying to shovel snow in the winter because of these sidewalks I will provide photos in the next few days.
I submitted an erosion/drainage issue behind my house (2201 E. Autumn Dr. Bloomington IN 47401). Someone from City called and left a message for me saying that it is on private property therefore City will not take care of it. I showed it to several other folks and in their opinion, it is City's responsibility since the rainwater pipe is the one causing the damage. I am not sure if your site visitors went to the location to verify this. The rain water from the entire neighborhood comes through this pipe and ends in the creek. I am attaching a picture with this form so that you can take a look at it.If the site visitor wants to visit again, this is happening in between (the back of ) houses 2201 and 2200.
There is an encampment forming along the B-Line near the small dog park. Where the trail splits into 2, it is to the west of the trails. They are erecting structures. Please do not let another camp form here. It is right next to the trail and these inevitably lead to conflicts with park/trail goers. Also can we please consider adding a uReport category, probably under Hazards or Sanitation, for reporting encampments directly? For one of the largest issues facing our city is seems odd that there is no way to directly report them. Not trying to persecute anyone but we need a way to report and track these. Thank you.
