Biking & Walking

400-498 S Swain Ave

Case Date:
11/17/2015

This evening a crashed off my bike while making a tight turn off of Atwater onto Swain. This was caused by gravel, mud, and leaves washed down Swain to the intersection with Atwater. Fortunately, I only scraped my knee, riuned my pants, and got muddy because I was traveling fairly slowly. Several times over the past couple of years I have reported debris (dirt, sand, gravel, mud, etc.) at this intersection. Each time the street sweeper or someone would eventually clean it up. However, if anyone were to give this situation the slightest thought, it would be apparent why this is a recurring problem. Gravel and dirt wash down to this this corner from the alleys off of Swain. Failure to install curbs, retention mechanisms, and proper drains and/or paving the alley is necessary to solve this problem. Failure to do so will result in further accidents and harm.

Biking & Walking

1501-1505 South Olive Street

Case Date:
3/27/2017

The transition from Hillside onto South Olive street is rather rough, as there is a bump up as you make the turn. On a bike this is unexpected, and a bit rough at best. Given that this is a signed bike route, could this transition be leveled out?

Blocked Sidewalk

Case Date:

It looks like the photo I'm trying to send may not be working.. but anyway.. In front of 1309 South Lincoln is a gutter that is NOT accepting water..the issue is NOT a plugged gutter at the street level because I have cleaned it out myself.. THis has been going on for YEARS and I've reported it twice..The city looked into it and said that there is no blockage,, but since the water backs up at Every rain, the something is obviously wrong..If you can't get a full street view from the photo I've sent with this message let me know where I can send an email with a photo attachment..Thanks.. Lee (I live at 1314 South Lincoln..)

Blocked Street

Case Date:
2/26/2024

Whoever put up the road closure signs on W Gourley Pike has made it difficult to access the road for the people that live on the section they have “shutdown”. I can barely fit my sedan sized car between the closure barriers to get to my home.

City Construction Projects

237 E Winslow Rd, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA

Case Date:
9/11/2020

You did a great job fixing the crosswalks; thank you! We use those sidewalks frequently. However, pedestrians wishing to use the crosswalk to traverse Henderson on the south side of Winslow now face road flooding for hours/days after significant rain. The east side of the crosswalk and northbound road flood. Not only is this a problem for pedestrians, but it may present an ice hazard for vehicles in the winter months after a thaw-freeze. The crosswalk project plans available for viewing online do not seem to show a drain to collect and remove rainwater. Thank you for helping us all by addressing this!

City Construction Projects

417 S Mitchell ST

Case Date:
11/8/2020

The retaining drainage Channel wall below the driveway is falling apart. This is a serious safety hazard. Additionally, tons of weeds are growing inside the channel that need removal and cleanup. This over growth is another reason why the cracks are appearing and the channel walls are falling apart. Please take action promptly. Thanks.

Drainage or Runoff

811 South Parkway Drive

Case Date:
3/10/2016

The stormwater runoff inlets at the intersection of Parkway and Middle Court are insufficient to support the amount of stormwater runoff from the entire length of Parkway. This causes flooding at the intersection of Middle Court and Westwood. We need additional to increase the number inlets along the entire length of Parkway in order to alieviate this problem. Mr. Peden has been apprised of this problem. However, acquiring sufficient funding from the City has not been forthcoming.

Drainage or Runoff

2201 E Autumn DR

Case Date:
4/28/2016

I submitted an erosion/drainage issue behind my house (2201 E. Autumn Dr. Bloomington IN 47401). Someone from City called and left a message for me saying that it is on private property therefore City will not take care of it. I showed it to several other folks and in their opinion, it is City's responsibility since the rainwater pipe is the one causing the damage. I am not sure if your site visitors went to the location to verify this. The rain water from the entire neighborhood comes through this pipe and ends in the creek. I am attaching a picture with this form so that you can take a look at it.If the site visitor wants to visit again, this is happening in between (the back of ) houses 2201 and 2200.
