Potholes, Other Street Repair

A section of road was removed from Union valley road directly adjacent from the Richland plaza. The edge of the road that was removed is ver sharp. When I slow down prior to going over this area the cars behind me get dangerously close. If this is not fixed then people's tires will be damaged and a possible rear end collision could occur. At least smooth the edge so I don't have to put myself and other occupants in my car in danger.

This is the third time we are contacting the city about this problem. We have a culvert that heads west of our house for one block. Our house is on the bottom of the street, so all the debris when flooding happens lands in our culvert and yard. The house west of ours at 1928 Ruby Lane has several big holes in their culvert which are larger than 3 feet. The debris from their destroyed concrete comes down to our culvert and blocks the waterway. I am including pictures. Last year the city fixed the culvert on a house 5 houses up from us, but didn't fix the rest of the culvert. Please advise what to do. Thank you

Seeking access to a city planning schedule as it relates to curb construction and street paving. 10th Ave S of 82nd is under construction now, and I live on 11th. I am planning a day-after wedding gathering at my house in Sept, and want to see if construction on 11th will alter my plans. Thank you.

Many neighbors and I use the sidewalk on the east side of S. Henderson St., opposite BHS sports fields, between Wylie Farm and Graham Roads, but I am writing to report that the trees and other growth next to it have become a nuisance and need culling/trimming back. Thank you for your time and attention. Best, Justin

I just wanted to extend a big thank you to the Street Department for almost inconceivably fast service on clearing access to Georgetown Road this morning. I called about a giant tree limb that was blocking the road entirely and in a matter of just 15 minutes, someone was here with a chain saw starting work on clearing access. This is absolutely amazing service to the residents of the south end of Georgetown Road and I wanted to express my grateful appreciation for the excellent efforts to all involved!

A large portion of a downed tree is entirely blocking the southernmost end of Georgetown Road in Bloomington. Three residents cannot get out of their driveways and emergency vehicles could not get to the end of the street. Can you send someone very soon this morning to remove the tree?

Hi folks,
I'm writing to you all about the scoretower at Winslow Sports Park during youth baseball games. I've been going to the ballpark for 8 years, and have kept score during games many times. There is a rule clearly posted in the tower that says that people under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. The BJLBA rule is, I believe, that the visiting team is required to supply someone to run the scoreboard.
Many times when I am up in the scoretower, I am the only adult there, but there are many kids running around unattended. Some of these kids are quietly keeping score for a game. Many are running around. I have seen them almost fall out of the window reaching for things that fell on the roof below. I have seen them leaning out to talk or throw things at their friends. I have seen them sitting on the ledges and wrestling. I have seen them standing on the folding chairs. Sooner or later, someone is going to fall out of one of those windows.
When I am up there, I don't like the feeling that I am responsible for all those kids. I realize that legally perhaps I am not responsible, but if they are being wild up there, I do feel responsible. If kids are up there without adult supervision, I usually send them down. Today another mother complained, saying that she (and her coach) had told her kids to go up there and keep score and that they do it many times. Another day a kid told me that the Parks and Rec supervisor had said he could go up (and he was one of the rowdier ones). I personally can't distinguish between who is going to do dangerous things and who isn't, and when I am trying to concentrate on keeping score, I don't like trying to keep an eye on a bunch of kids at the same time.
If you all think that I am being unreasonable, then I suggest that you change the rule about unaccompanied kids in the tower. My other suggestion is that BJLBA remind coaches and umpires that the visiting teams need to provide an adult to run the scoreboard.
Thanks,
Deborah Deliyannis
