A portion of W. Smith Ave needs badly repaired. The road is basically falling apart with a large pothole. My address is 1002 W. Howe St., and the road problem is behind my house which abuts Smith Ave.
Sidewalk blocked by overgrowth. When stopped on Smith line of site blocked. There is also an overgrown fire hydrant, possibly to the same address.
I found 3 syringes in my back yard on Saturday morning. I did notify police dispatch, but wanted to also inform the city. We also had someone walk by the side of our house yesterday evening and got very alarmed when they saw us. Said they were cutting through to catch a ride. We live on a corner and there is no way it would have saved time. I am concerned safety wise, especially for my wife. I feel less sage then I did when I moved back to Bloomington 8 years ago.
This drain is clogged with gravel, and a lot has piled up inside the drain. Thank you!
Most of sidewalk blocked by shrubs
Front yard bushes are overgrown, impeding sidewalk foot traffic.
Needs a "not a through street" sign
This heavily used biker/walker commuter path from Morton onto the b-line gets blocked with snow everytime it's plowed, but it would be easy for the plow drivers to leave a bike/walk pathway so we don't have to carry our bikes over the snow several times a day.
To the City of Bloomington, There is a ~500 foot stretch of unmaintained city property, along the north side of the 300 thru 400 block of S. Morton St and boundary of the B-Line trail. This area has heavy overgrowth, attracting trash and debris and becoming a dumping location. A recent dumping of two discarded bicycle frames has prompted calls to police for possible theft related activity. The overgrowth is obscuring street signage, that could be a security hazard to drivers thinking that northbound from Smith on to Morton is unrestricted - which it is not. This area of overgrowth is encroaching on both S. Morton St, and the B-Line trail, and recently we've observed numerous late night gatherings of homeless/vagrants (on the B-Line) because it appears that this overgrowth provides visual shelter and seclusion from being observed along the B-Line from S. Morton St. If it hasn't already been used in this way, this area is prime for unsanitary use for urination or defecation in this stretch between S. Morton St and the B-Line trail due to the seclusion this overgrowth provides. To the north and south of this heavy overgrowth, the similar stretch of B-Line boundary is well-groomed, and offers the public the desired visual beauty of the trail, yet this ~500 foot section provides exactly the opposite as described in this cleanup request. We are asking that the City of Bloomington put this stretch of unmaintained city property between the 300 thru 400 foot blocks of S. Morton and the B-Line Trail, on a regular, ongoing, and permanent maintenance plan. Owners/Residents of 348 S. Morton St.
City of Bloomington (Historic Preservation Commission?) My wife and I recently purchased and moved in to 348 S Morton St, which is on the Indiana Historical Registry. Earlier this month, using uReport Case 181400, we requested Parks & Rec to help with some heavy brush between S Morton St and the B-Line (they were very responsive -- nice job Paula and Team! :-)). Reviewing the work after clearing was done, walking along the B-Line trail, just below 348 S Morton St, I noticed some block/stone work that might be quite old (pic attached). It appears the block/stone work is there to shore up the embankment for a considerable stretch of S. Morton St. Now that it's visible, it appears that this block/stone work is in a state of disrepair :-( A couple of thoughts: • Is it possible this could be looked at to see if this block/stone work has any historical significance • There could be some concern that this block/stone work may not have the original integrity it was intended to have regarding shoring up the embankment along a stretch of 348 S. Morton St.
