So, just like that, the temporary fix, gravel in the ditch was just that, temporary. After a couple rains, the gravel has all washed down in front of our storm drain and across Kinser Pike. The deep crevice along Acuff Road either needs to be filled in with black top or concrete, or a true rain gutter needs to be installed. Gravel just compounds the problem, and the crevice is still there.
There is a section of pavement in the bike path / walking path / running path on Southdowns just east of Woodlawn Avenue. There's a big gap on the pavement. It is now big enough a bike tire could get caught in it or a person walking might find the uneven ground tough to navigate.
I had previously reported these potholes, but the ticket had been closed out and stated it was completed and 18 holes were filled. This pothole and a few others are still there. The pothole pictured is the biggest and deepest of all of them and poses a threat to cars. After the initial potholes were filled I counted and only 9 holes were filled. I do not know if they intend to come back and fill these holes, but I thought I would bring it to your attention that they were not all taken care of. I do understand that when it is raining they cannot be filled and it needs to be a nice day! I would just hate for any of our employees or tenants to damage their car from this hole. Hopefully this can be resolved soon, weather permitting. Thanks.
606 and 608 East Heather Drive, Bloomington, IN 47401 - My neighbor and I have been suffering deterioration of the street in front of our homes and request that the asphalt be patched or resurfaced to avoid further deterioration or damage to our vehicles.
There is a significant pothole in the Alley between 6th & 7th streets west of Kirkwood at the midway point where the trash dumpsters are located. This is causing removal of trash to be both difficult and dangerous.
The alley between and behind the buildings at 516 N Grant need refinished. The pot holes are numerous and deep. Almost every car that goes through there scrapes their frame.
(see photo) Although this may look like a private driveway, it is not. This is a city alley. My property is 708, 710, and 712 N. Oolitic St. This alley runs behind it. If one looks at a City plot map, it can be seen that this is a city right-of-way running from W. 11th St. to W. 12th St, to 13th, 14th...etc. For the longest time, this alley right-of-way was unused. Then Habitat built some houses on Lindbergh, so the city reopened sections of the alley to be used by the Habitat residents. As you can see, it is paved with gravel. To my knowledge, it has never received another layer since the original. Since all the potholes around the city are being repaired, I am hoping these "potholes" can be as well. There is a large drop off from the blacktop of 12th St and we have practically constant mud in the water holes. Also, as you can see, we have grass growing through. Would it be possible to have some new gravel spread - at least on the lower section where the mud holes are? It would be greatly appreciated.
