The culvert just next to 2680 S Wexley Road (latitude 39.1399, longitude -86.5131) needs cleaning. During rain several weeks ago, the water almost came to our door. It seems that this culver is neglected all the time; when they revised the culverts several years ago, this one was omitted. Often we do not see any flow, just standing water around it.
Large gully/washout running along side Rodgers Road east of the Stands and west of Sherwood Oaks Church on the north side of the roadway In some places the washout is approximately 30 inches deep or greater. Stone is needed to stop the water and protect drivers and the roadway.
There's a large pothole at the corner of Hoosier St and Limestone Dr. It was repaired a few months ago but the the hole has opened up again.
The bus stop was blocked with Birds again this morning, though I didn't have a chance to snap a photo. See 168116 (April 16) and 168277 (April 29).
Two potholes on South Oakdale Drive, in the northbound lane. I've indicated the approximate position. 2757 West Bloomfield Road is the nearest street address to these potholes, but I do not reside at that address. The potholes are on a public road.
There's a syringe on the new wall along Rockport Road at Ralston/Rockport. I'm not excited about removing this. Can you help? Thank you.
It was a dark, but fair evening. Last night at around 10pm, I found myself traveling south on Walnut Street. Cruising along, listening to NPR, when, out of no where, a giant hole. I didn't succumb to the fear, and successfully steered my way around it. But, there might be a Smart Car or a bicyclist waiting for rescue at the bottom of that pothole. The pothole is in the right travel lane, in front of the Herald Times Building. If you are heading south, it would be the far western lane of Walnut. Go out there, and you will see it.
On Winslow / Country Club there is a series of 3 growing pot holes that need filled up. If you are traveling from the Lucky's Market towards Rogers, they are on the right side of the lane from the B-Line trail crossing up the hill. The three holes are in a row, probably 50 feet apart, going up the hill. They are hard to avoid, especially with oncoming traffic.
With traffic that would normally be routing through Range Rd. now routing through the bypass, the dirt/gravel road (and large sections of Range road) are riddled with massive potholes.
When will the assault on the south side of Bloomington traffic patterns stop? The attached photo shows the current problem: far right side, the detour signs for the two CLOSED north/south routes (Walnut Street Pike & Rogers). And the orange barrels show that Walnut is under construction as well. Today, at 3:15pm, it took approximately 20 minutes to travel from Lucky's Market at Walnut and Winslow to Kroger at Walnut and Gordon Pike. That is 1 mile in 20 minutes - an incredible 3mph speed! Although, in all fairness to that calculation, most of the time was spent at a standstill. This mess comes on the heels of last summer's mess when the City decided to close every east/west route in town (which, those are still only somewhat complete). What's next? One might argue there was no planning involved, but it seems like the coincidence of shutting down every road at once multiple years in a row is a coordinated effort, not random happenings. Disdain is too weak of a word. Can the City get its act together and not hog tie traffic every single summer? Or, at least add some capacity so when it opens back up more traffic can move? None of these projects have yielded any actual improvements in traffic - or, maybe we just can't realize it because when one road opens two more close.
