Two tires popped on right side of car due to road construction near Da Vinci
Two tires popped on right side of car due to road construction near Da Vinci
This morning around 7:00 -7:30 while on my morning walk I had two mishaps with regard to the construction work around or near the 4th st. fire station. First, crossing Kirkwood st. A dump truck (Young construction) decided to cut me off at the pedestrian crossing at Kirkwood and Dunn st. Next, a large loader (Milestone Construction) decided to back up without looking. I was on the sidewalk all the time and was within inches of getting KIlled. I yelled very loud and the operator heard over the machine and stopped. I do not believe I should have such experiences with just a simple walk. I have noticed over many weeks that this project is a slip-shod operation with a lack of management. Perhaps IOSHA needs to be alerted. Ken Bartell
Situation in the McDoel neighborhood. This area is subject to ongoing problems with the homeless population leaving much trash, stealing from our yards, and leaving used needles about. If this was going on in more affluent areas like Sherwood Oaks there would be something done about it but the city has simply not put enough effort into keeping our area safe for the poulation who lives here. The various shelters cannot do much to influence the behavior of their clients. Another issue is that the shelters and especially Shalom Center encourages people to come to Bloomington rather than encouraging other towns to take care of their homeless. We are full of these people and many of us are fed up with their behavior and the numbers of them. McDoel has been an upcoming area with a mix of working class and professionals. Colder weather has subdues the homeless activities but with warmer weather coming many of us feel Switchyard park will again have numerous issues with panhandling and trash and encampments with druggies. There are several encampments in the area populated mostly be drug users. Anything they drag in does not leave and we have some areas of way too much trash. How about some enforcement ?
Water is out to our home
My water is off
No water pressure
The folks installing the fiber optic have severed what seems to be the main water line on the North side of Etter Drive, at about 6:30 pm, Thursday Nov 2. Water is gushing above the street, and beginning to flood lots.
This is Nick Ponzo, hes a 21 year old male, who added me. He then proceeded to ask my age, location, and what I look like. After I told him he then proceeded to ask if I liked older men. Too which I did not say, after he said 21. My brother took a picture of his face, and told him he will contact the police. Nick is located in Bloomington Indiana.
We had a sewer blockage today. The plumber sent a camera through the sewer pipe and discovered that the fiber optic crew had pierced our sewer line, causing the back up.
Water main break at w 17th st by storage units. Looks like fiber installation caused it. Will they be fined for this?
