I am so terribly sorry that the crew came out to the 800 bloc of Eastside Drive today, looking for a pothole, and they only found tiny ones. I made a mistake in the identification of the bloc, there is a large one in the 900 bloc, in the middle of the street. So very sorry!
There is a big growth of bushes/trees/grasses something of that sort in the creek between Sheridan and Southdowns right at the intersection with Woodlawn. When you are at the stop sign on Sheridan, it is tough to see pedestrians, children, and cyclists who are heading to the park. Also, it is tough to see traffic coming from the south on Woodlawn because of the foliage. It certainly needs cut back.
A tree branch is obscuring the yellow turn arrow on a traffic signal at 2nd and High. The traffic signal is for westbound traffic on 2nd Street. The signal itself is located on the western side of the intersection and is the southern (left when looking at the lights as traffic would) signal hanging there. It should be trimmed up.
The road in front of my house has broken up so badly that it's an eyesore for the entire street. It looks as if the foundation underneath the street has collaped and it's also damaged the drainage ditch in front of my property. My neighbor Jerry Minger called months ago to report this problem but we have had no word from the city. Jerry was told that this issue was "on the list" and would be taken care of when the weather was warm enough. Can you please call me and let me know if this is going to be taken care of? I'm embarrassed for my neighbors. Thank you, Deborah
They alley between 404 and 420 S. Fess Ave has some very large pot holes. I would appreciate someone looking at this. Thank you.
The alley between 808 and 816 E. Hunter Ave. has some large pot holes. It would be great if someone could look at this. Thank you.
Yellow on curbs on 1st Street and Hawthorne needs to be repainted. Lots of parking in yellow zone at already hazardous intersection.
I was a bit disappointed with the dangerous traffic situation I had to navigate on Monday morning due to the City of Bloomington's careless job site. Grimes is being resurfaced it looks like. I was heading north on Dunn and came to the intersection with Grimes. There was no sign to indicate the road was closed. I could not go straight on Dunn across Grimes because a City dump truck and other vehicles had the road entirely blocked. I could not see traffic to the west on Grimes because a City street sweeper was parked right at the intersection blocking the view (and there was another piece of equipment behind it). I could just barely see the intersection at Grimes & Henderson to try to guess if traffic was coming from my east. The City had a big machine parked just east of Dunn on Grimes that had a dump truck backed up to it for tearing up the road surface. I made a decision to go for it, and turned out onto the wrong lane of traffic to go around the construction. There were 5 city employees in bright colors standing on the sidewalk chatting, just watching this traffic hazard. Other people were driving through trying to navigate the broken up road and the blocked streets, intersections, and egress without any assistance from the City employees on the job. This is dangerous. Just close the road! Or put some people in charge of directing traffic so we know when it is safe to proceed and not risk hitting another citizen or getting run over by the various machinery moving about. This was pretty ridiculous even by Bloomington standards (which, are actually quite low it turns out!).
Huge pothole measuring about 2 feet across and 4 or more inches deep has been steadily growing on our street since early March. Other potholes are following. Please fill.
It looks as though someone backed into or hit the stop sign at E Hillside and S Olive streets.
