The photograph of this hole was taken Sept. 27, 2019. The same hole can be found in case #161692 from Oct. 27, 2017. Danna Workman reported that the hole had been repaired, but I can assure you it was not. It is located between 1217 and 1221 N Madison (closer to 1217, and so large as to be observable from satellite photos and Google Street View). Even though I knew it was there, in the dark the other night, I nearly turned an ankle in it. The whole sidewalk along the west side of N. Madison between 16th and 17th is in a terrible state of disrepair and has been the entire time I've lived in this neighborhood. I know that landowners are supposed to maintain the sidewalks, but I also know that it's the city's duty to enforce that rule. What I don't know is why Danna Workman reported that the hole was repaired when it wasn't. In any event, the sidewalk is still a hazard. What are you going to do about it?
improved alley blocked with fallen limbs. The alley was improved by the property owners. the city was to maintain the alley after the improvement.
There is a 12" deep depression. My car bottomed out resilting in minor damage. This is the first parking spot west on Kirkwood in fron of the Von Lee.
Crosswalk at Atwater and Woodlawn never seems to say walk. Always don’t walk.
Basically half of the limbs of this tree at the NE corner of 6th & Pine are dead. If the root system is as compromised, this tree will fall into 6th Street and crush whatever is below.
I recently saw a map of sidewalks that showed the westside of Madison between 16th and 17th was in "fair" condition (https://bloomington.in.gov/transportation/sidewalks/repair-assistance/map.pdf). This stretch of sidewalk is narrow and broken and one of the worst well-traveled pedestrian areas in town. The east side of the street, labeled poor on the map, isn't nearly as bad. At the very least, I'd like the map corrected so there is an accurate recored. But, what I'd really like done is that this block is fixed. It is heavily traversed and will likely see more traffic once the bus routes change. Thank you.
Just wanted to let you know...if you desire, you can close 170500. We purchased the property and are working to completely clear it.
Issue #170681 has not been resolved. Mattresses/broken furniture still lying against garage outside in the weather.
Graywell got our leaf pickup on Nov. 5, well before many of our leaves had fallen. Will there perhaps be a later, followup sweep for those of us who were caught with our leaves up in the air?
