Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)

419 E Dodds ST

Case Date:
3/11/2021

There are at least 3 steel culverts that have rusted through creating a sharp object hazard along the south side of E Dodds St along the 300, 400 and 500 block. My concern is there are children that play in this residential area and the rusted crevasses could act as a trap for small limbs of children or pets.  The culverts are corrugated steel and all seem to be suffering from rust fatigue along the top edge. Thank you for the consideration of replacing these culverts.

Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)

419 E Dodds ST

Case Date:
3/29/2021

Thank you Kathleen for updating ticket 175079. This is a follow-up to your update. I do desire to remain anonymous on ureport system. These storm sewers have long been functionally abandoned and really do not act as "ditches" anymore. In fact some of them seem to not have an inlet. It was not so much that that I though they should be "clean out" but more like the sharp metal hazard should be addressed. The exposed tops of at least three culverts have rusted through creating what I consider "sharp rusty hazards". Replacing those culverts (or repairing the rusty sections) is what I was thinking. Or maybe rotating them 180 degrees so the rusty part is down? My concern with the cleanout solution is the neighbors might not like the excavation unless the hazards are removed. I do not think anyone is complaining about the fact the culverts might not be doing much to handle water run off. Again I just walk my dog along Dodds and that is when I spotted the harzards. I do not live at these residences. Thank you again for the consideration.

Unsafe Buildings

418 S Walnut ST

Case Date:
9/20/2021

The two building directly to the north of my building are currently unsafe with multiple viewings of homeless and users coming and going from in between the buildings. It's not safe for anybody to be back there with the activity that happens daily. The light on that property is also out and there have been homeless camping in the unkept wooded area behind my property that is owned by the City. I thought that the two buildings were to be torn down at one point, but it seems that the issues were temporarily fixed and the owner was allowed to keep the buildings up. Please call or email with questions in regards to this situation.

Excessive Growth

418 S Walnut ST

Case Date:
9/30/2021

Overgrowth on property that used to be Players Pub is insane and has continued to grow along the line of trees directly behind my building. I was told that this line of trees belongs to the City of Bloomington and I'd like someone to look at cleaning both the Players Pub property and the tree line up. It's become unsightly and unsafe with the current homeless population using the area for shelter and drug use. Thank you.

Unsafe Buildings

418 S Walnut ST

Case Date:
6/8/2022

While the abandoned home just north of my building has been boarded up by the property owner, the homeless are now entering the home by using the back porch stair/deck railing and hoisting themselves to the roof deck above and then entering through the sliding door there. I caught one popping their head up to see who pulled up yesterday morning, noticed that I saw him and then he ducked down below the windows. Windows are being covered up and doors are propped open on the front/back to allow a nice stream of air throughout to what seems to be the entire upstairs. The inability of the property owner to secure the ENTIRE home from entry by homeless is frustrating and should be taken seriously by the property owner because of the safety concerns that these instances create for myself, my family, my customers and many other citizens of Bloomington that are visiting Chocolate Moose, Bedrak and apartments near this location. Please advise on how this will be handled. Thank you.

Trails

418 S College AVE

Case Date:
7/27/2023

The pavement on the B-Line Trail is buckled in several places, especially between 2d & 3d Sts. I thought this would be corrected when warm weather came, but it's now 95 degrees and it hasn't been fixed. Someone needs to flatten the bumps. It would be easy on a day like this.

Debris Removal (Sand, General Street Debris)

417 W Somersbe PL

Case Date:
1/8/2021

First off, the B-line is trashed. The woods on the edge of the trail are absolutely covered in trash. There were fires lit, and the creek to carrying the trash down to our more major waterways. Now, the residents of this camp are driving cars to their encampments along the b-line, blocking the trails, and making enormous ruts in the trail and grass along the side of the trail. Furthermore, I am a large white, male. I was concerned for my safety (ON THE B-LINE) as three (obvious methamphetamine enthusiasts) came out of the woods while I was passing by. Their behavior was not normal, and being three of them would scare most people from using this important public space - including myself.
