HUGE pothole in front of our house, this is a highly trafficked area especially for walking, worried about people stepping in the hole and getting hurt!
About ticket #192627. You closed it with the comment that the contractor has filled the hole. The contractor has half-filled it with gravel that is quickly being scattered as folks park with a wheel in the hole. The hole is growing, and is a hazard. It hasn't been filled. Thank you,
2 cars in yard for months
Park Ridge Park needs wood chips around the bench to the east of the basketball court. The ground is packed dirt and tree roots.
Every night the sidewalk is taken over by an encampment of individuals sleeping on the sidewalk. The area gets littered with needles/syringes, garbage and more. The nightly inhabitants use the surrounding properties as toilets and leave fecal messes to be cleaned up. Last night there was a fire pit with an active fire in it, as it was a cool night. This is a recipe for disaster, not to mention that these people should not be sleeping in the sidewalk public ROW. The police need to be involved as this is after business hours. Attention to this matter is very much needed and appreciated.
A deep gully has formed at the intersection of the alleys behind (west-side) of this house. It is deep enough to cause damage to a vehicle if a tire ends up in it. There is another somewhat degraded spot about 40' west alongside 802 N. College.
There is a bench next to the basketball court that is surrounded by beaten down dirt and tree roots. I would be more attractive if the ground around it was covered by wood chips.
The yard is attracting major wildlife such as raccoons, foxes and snakes and the plants have become so high it is causing a driving hazard when turning. We are worried about accidents with kids playing near this house. It is a safety hazard. The weeds have gotten out of control and the owner does not take care of the yard. Please help address this.
Bloomington Municipal Code - related to easements. "(d)Maintenance.(1)For features required to be in an easement, maintenance shall generally be the responsibility of the lot owner, except as expressly provided otherwise in this UDO or in the development approval." This is largely ignored and has led to groves of invasive plants, weeds the size of trees, and overgrowth which hinders access in violation of the city code.
