Kerasotes road, the road left of AMC 11, has several really bad potholes that need filled.

The landing page for uReport states the following: "Use uReport to notify the City of community issues, such as potholes, graffiti, malfunctioning street lights, and more." Perhaps there could be a FAQ of sorts added that clarifies that broad statement. The FAQ could point residents to Duke Energy for reporting malfunctioning street lights. I appreciate the DPW staff member who submitted a request to Duke Energy on my behalf, but it probably would be best for everyone involved to be able to filter out some requests that do not need to be reported to the city. Additionally, I suggest the graffiti part be amended to state, graffiti on city property, as it is unclear that the city does not take care of graffiti on private property even if it is offensive with foul language. Thank you.

The streetlight at the 'T' intersection of W 11th st. and N Fairview Street SE of the Bridge of Decay is non-functional. Thank you.

There are several street signs leftover from the path construction near the High St roundabout.

Case Date:

The path along Rogers Rd just east of the roundabout is restricted by a lot of leaf debris that is slick when wet and narrows the usable portion of the path.

Stop sign needed for all ways. Live next to this intersection and witness close calls all the time and worry about accidents actually occurring, especially with it being right behind the high school. Please install signs along Henderson.

Can someone please look into the businesses that are operating out of 629 N. Fairview? Red Tire Taxi received a Rapid Response Fund loan of $12,000 in 2020 for being in the Bloomington Urban Enterprise Zone. I am in my third year of almost daily walking past that building at a wide variety of hours and have only seen a vehicle with a Red Tire Taxi sticker on it once and that was in the summer of 2019. There are two different tow truck company trucks in and out and the majority of the vehicles in their two lots are in some state of serious disrepair. The same vehicles with missing windows are there from when I first moved into this neighborhood in 2019. Is this a junk yard? If it is a junkyard, is there ordinance language around having fences around them? There are vehicles parked on grass in the back as well. If you look up the business registration for that address there is only one business listed and that is called Bloomington Extreme Auto (which is also the business used to perform the safety inspection on Red Tire Taxi's vehicles for the business license), and they were administratively dissolved in 2018. It is an unpleasant area to have a part of daily life, and seems illegitimate in at least one way, if not more. Please look into it. Thank you.

In response to uReport case #178550, if the property owner has had to repeatedly paint over graffiti, then perhaps the built environment could be examined to see if any improvements could be made that would benefit the property owner as well as residents. A walk down that street at night reveals pitch black darkness. There is a light at the T intersection of Fairview and 11th, but the illumination does not reach around the bend in Fairview. The property has a light in their lot which actually causes the sidewalk on Fairview to be even darker in contrast. It has never felt safe as a pedestrian or cyclist but that can be remedied by personal use of lights. However, having the street illuminated could help to make it less hospitable for delinquent behavior as well as the wonderful bonus of increased safety for non-motorist travelers. Lastly, vehicles regularly speed down the decline on 11th, fail to stop at the stop sign, and continue around the bend on Fairview. I would think that increased illumination would be helpful to those motorists who are already driving recklessly. Thank you.

The bushes alongside the east side of Fairview have grown out and over obscuring the 'no parking' sign. Over the past two years, there has been an increase in commercial vehicles (tree trimmers/landscapers) as well as delivery trucks thinking it is okay to park in front of a stop sign on a slight hill. This is obstructing the view of the intersection and creating a dangerous situation when vehicles are forced into oncoming traffic to pull around the stopped vehicle. Combine that with the reckless drivers who are speeding on 13th street, oftentimes taking the turn from 13th to go south on Fairview at very high speeds, and the result is a dangerous situation. Please improve the line of sight. Thank you.
