Hello- The drain in our cul de sac regularly is clogged and I've written about this before. The pipe which runs from the drain to the city easement drainage creek, runs through our back yard. The city sent out a crew several years ago and Phil Peden emailed with pictures saying there were multiple breaches as someone (before we moved here in 2011) connected to the pipe with gutter discharges or something. He said it was our responsibility to fix the pipe, but since it deals with city water using our property, I was hoping the city could help us. We have regularly had water in our basement since moving here and have spent thousands of dollars drying it. The whole water from the neighborhood comes towards us, as well as the golf course water down the service road in our backyard. Our neighbors' yard along creek is overwhelmed with water as well. For some reason, I'm unable to attach a video of the creek from the last big rain on May 20, so if you give me an email, I can send it that way. Thanks for your help .Kevin Murphy 917 374 8069
Near the middle of May, Bloomington experienced several days of heavy rain. I understand that there were many problems around town. One of many near my house involved the flooding of Kinser Pike due to intense sheet runoff from the under-construction development, Kinser Ridge. Kinser Ridge had a silt fence up, but the runoff breached it. The muddy water flowed downslope through my neighbor's garage, yard shed, and driveway, and through the farm field to the north. This amounted to so much water that the culvert under Kinser Pike could not hold it, and the silty water flowed over Kinser Pike. The water pooled in the road for several hours. This was a problem worthy of a uReport. However, my actual gripe today is that the developer has not attempted to repair the damage or reinstall the silt fence. Now, when it rains again, the silty water will flow again with no impediment because the soil is now at the top of the broken-down silk fence. Behind my property line is disturbed bare soil that eroded into my yard last time, and because no effort has been made to fix it, the mud from the soil erosion will again bury my grass and trench out my garden. The bottom line is that I would like the developer to remediate the erosion problems in the northeast corner of the development before it rains again. P.S. They have had acres of bare soil uncovered for about a month. Isn't that prohibited?
At the Relato. Entire multi use path is blocked again with no warning and almost certainly no permit. This is dangerous, especially for bikers coming down the hill. Per ureport #209421 response from Kyle Baugh, further incidents will result in a notice of violation being issued. The pattern must be broken, hopefully the violation does that.
Lawn has not been mowed in 2026
Resident plants are fully blocking sidewalk
Partial trapped ford mustang on Westside of the address has not moved in over a week. Limit is 72 hours. They have been doing this for years. Please put a stop to it. It really masks the area look terrible.
Significantly overgrown yard (worse by fire hydrant and corners)
My name is Jillian Rich and I am a business owner along SR 46 / E 3rd St in Bloomington, Indiana. This is a request for a new sidewalk. I have requested this from INDOT multiple times over the past several years with no result. INDOT has told me that the city could fund a sidewalk at this location so I am reaching out to make that request. This is the sidewalk gap on the north side of SR 46 / E 3rd St in Bloomington between Smith and Park Ridge Rd. My business happens to be located along a section of the roadway with no sidewalk on my side of the road. As far as I can tell, this is the only missing sidewalk along the entire section of SR 46 in Bloomington. My business is located in an urban area along this busy roadway, and the lack of sidewalk at this location presents serious safety concerns. Myself, my staff members, and my clients are forced to walk either in the bike lane, the drainage gutter, or the grass along the road. Because my business works with dogs, we are often walking dogs along the road. Some of the neighbors get upset when we walk in state right of way adjacent to their properties, so we are forced into the busy roadway. I have a fully blind staff member with a guide dog, and because of this lack of sidewalk, they are cut off from being able to walk the dogs in this area and unable to perform as many tasks as they are capable of. Often, we try to avoid walking by driving the dogs down to where there is sidewalk, but this is not always practical or worth the time. This is a very short section of missing sidewalk and would be well worth the cost to complete, and would benefit not only my business but the rest of the community greatly. Please consider prioritizing this location for a sidewalk and finishing up the final missing piece along E 3rd St / SR 46 in Bloomington. This is desperately needed. Thank you for the consideration.
