Drainage or Runoff
3020 S Stratford DR

Follow-up on Report #185258 – Assistance needed, please forward to Ms. Elizabeth Carter.
Dear Ms. Carter,
Thank you for your prompt response to case #185258. We seek your continued guidance regarding the issue outlined in the initial message.
The eroded drainage-way section lies outside our rental property's limits. After discussions with all relevant property owners (1912 E Wexley Rd, 1920 E Wexley Rd and 3020 Stratford Dr), we've concluded that this affected section of the drainage-way, causing flooding, might not be on our properties. This is reinforced by utility bollards adjacent to the eroded zone, demarcated by an extra fence. Suspicions arise from recently installed storm drain pipes on E Wexley, which appear to now funnel excessive water into this drainage-way, exacerbating erosion on both sides and ultimately flooding our properties.
We kindly request the City of Bloomington's experts to determine ownership of the eroded section accurately and provide expert advice, ideally from an engineer, on addressing the heightened drainage flow, which is beyond our control.
My apologies for the earlier property manager's email address error. The correct contact details are as follows: Ms. Janet Jin (812-325-9093, cjcornerstone.mgt@gmail.com).
Your assistance in this pressing matter is greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Gergo Szanda

Good mornning. While I have made reports in the past, no contact or response was ever received so I started fixing the issue myself. As you can see in the photo, I am having an issue with street erosion an you can see the area I have personally repaired out of pocket.
The road is to the point now where it is crumbling apart more rapidly and causing pot holes and trip hazarda. I even have an area that a fiber optic crew crushed part of the road and have never been back to fix it.
The area of concern spans approx. 35-40 feet. I would love to talk to someone about the issue and what we can do to have the areas patched.

The street light is out in the alley behind 705 S park Ave. The alley is accessible via University St. and 1st St. I am unsure whether the light is privately owned or a city-maintained light.

why is there no shade in switchyard park playground? the canopies do nothing since they are just open slats. it would be easy to cover them and create shade.

I would like to suggest adding more no-mow areas to Bryan Park, specifically around all trees (to protect them), along the North boundary (several feet in depth) and extending the no-mow area along the creek tributary which runs North West-South East and feeds into the main creek. It would be very helpful to all wildlife, particularly birds and insects. I'd be happy to talk to someone about this idea. Also reduce the number of times the park is mowed (maybe it could just be every other week?) and stop using leaf blowers!
