Asphalt is very rough especially under the bridge
Asphalt is very rough especially under the bridge
This morning at approximately 8:20, while I was riding a bicycle southbound on the B-Line trail over the Grimes Street bridge, I met a full-sized truck driving northbound on the B-Line Trail over the bridge. The truck was labeled Bloomington Parks and Recreation, and I spoke with the driver and passenger, who were staff members of the Parks and Recreation Department. The posted rules of the B-Line trail prohibit motorized vehicles. I am aware that we make exceptions for motorized wheelchairs, electric bicycles, electric scooters, and the small trucks used by security and parks maintenance staff. However, my opinion is that a full-sized truck is well outside the range of acceptable exceptions. A full-sized truck is less safe, provides less visibility for the truck driver to see walkers and others on the trail, blocks more of the trail width, and causes more wear on the trail surface. My opinion is that full-sized trucks should not be on the B-Line, when there are alternate routes available for a truck on public streets, and alternative vehicles available to use on the B-Line trail.
This whole section of Patterson/Grimes (between Madison and Walnut) is in need of grading and resurfacing. The surface is super rough the whole way and there's a large raised bump under the bridge.
On-going issue. Sediment buildup in open ditch south of storm sewer discharge pipe is impeding/stopping flow of storm water runoff in open ditch further downstream from where pipe daylights. Attached site plan clearly shows the pipe is not daylighting on our property as was concluded by CBU supervisor on previous ticket #169150. The centerline of the open ditch is approximately 15' off of our building wall and the site plan shows the property line at 11.08' from our building wall. The rainwater backup caused from the sediment buildup is back flowing into our drive/parking lot during rain events. I have other photos from several rain events that I can forward through email to provide evidence of the issue. If possible we'd like to meet a CBU supervisor on-site at their earliest convenience to discuss the issue.
Right under the B-Line bridge over Grimes in the westbound lane of traffic there is a square cutout in the road that forms a decent sized pothole. Can this get filled?
Under bridge at Morton and grimes there is an illegal homeless camp set up. Also there are lots of trash and litter in the area created by these people. Do not let your political affiliations prevent you from carrying out your responsibility as a city official. These people are breaking the law and need held accountable.
South basketball goal is broken. The hoop is stuck at the lowest position and has been for a few weeks.
The grass on the city side of the ditch is waist high, last time this was cut the city threw a rock into the Storage Express window and I really don't want that to happen again. Can a crew get out to the ditch and trim it before we have another flood and the water has no where to go?!!!
Boards are loose one south end of pickleball courts.
All the new trees planted in the bike lane median on West 7th between Morton and College are dead.
