I've been meaning to report for some time. During major rain events stormwater rushes into my basement in through the sanitary sewer drain. The last time was June 2021 and storm water poured in for 8-10 hours solid. Luckily I have installed a sump pump that kept the overall water level manageable. I've lived at this address for 10+ years and this problem has occurred 3-5 times total. It only happens when the storm water system is overwhelmed. I believe the same happens for my neighbors. Is there anything I can do to prevent more back flow during major rain events?

We live on the only road in Sherwood Oaks that has no side walks for pedestrians to use for safety when walking/biking. The issue with this is we live on a main thoroughfare to Sherwood Oaks Park, Rodgers Park, Clear Creek Trail, Childs Elementary, and Jackson Creek Elementary. We need better signs, and speed reduction devices such as speed bumps to slow down traffic that speed through our area and are a hazard to all that walk to the above places including children. The refusal to make this street part of the park green way and safer is absolutely absurd. The past excuses from the city included that we are a dead end with no speeding tickets or wrecks, which is why the city has refused to take action in the past. Please do not wait for someone to get injured or die on this road before you make it safer for all that live and use it for recreation.

This South Carolina town has produced these very inexpensive masks and are handing them out for free. They are based on IU professor and Bloomington resident Jiangmei Wu's free origami design. They can be easily assembled by the user using rubber bands and are made of paper. Something for Bloomington to think about doing. Thank you.

I submitted a report for two potholes on 1417 W Allen st in the whittington commons development. I just got an email from Chris Axsom that they were filled today, but they were definitely not. The other is right when you turn into the street. The original case number was 172471

I have plumbers at my house now doing extensive digging to resolve a backup in the main sewer line. They believe the blockage is within city jurisdiction. We have had sewage spewing into our shower and the toilet won't flush the last 24 hours

Easement is completely overgrown with trash accumulating and is partially blocking sidewalk and makes social distancing nearly impossible along this stretch. This is the easement area for 1417 Bradshire and 1423 Bradshire. I believe these are rental properties.

At the intersection of High Street and Hillside/Moores Pike, there is no indication of which lane is which. (Left turn lanes are not marked on the street or with signs.) I have witnessed at least 3 occasions in which drivers are confused and think the left lane is straight and the right lane is for turning right, or think the right lane is straight and the left lane is for turning left, and so both cars go straight ahead and nearly collide! This is especially bad northbound on High, where you cannot see beyond the intersection, since it is on a hill. By the way, you are all doing a great job and we love Bloomington. I am just concerned because this is a safety issue. Thank you for your concern and attention! Maybe you can just spray paint the left turn arrow as a quick fix? Thanks!
