I would like to make a suggestion for a bus stop at Bryan Park. I know many IU students who park at that location and walk to campus and it would be a convenience for them to be able to ride a bus in bad weather conditions, as well as a safety for them after dark. I appreciate the consideration!
Resident reports persistent speeding and disregard for stop signs on East Blue Ridge Drive in a neighborhood setting and requests increased police patrols in the area.
There is a metal service door with a hole in it and the cap to this hole is missing. This is nothing to extreme, but it could be a hazard.
The building light on the LEFT side of the North entrance to City Hall is on the fritz, the left side as you face the doors from Morton.
I have a problem on my property with drainage. The drainage of my property runs off naturally into my neighbor's yard. His address is 3514 Morningside Drive. When a storm comes, his back yard pools and remains there for a few days until it is absorbed into the ground. I discussed with one of the neighbors how this might be resolved and volunteered to help pay for pipes that would carry the water that pools in their yard to the ditch along Morningside Drive. The neighbor didn't think that would work. Now they have dug out a deeper hole in their yard and are installing a "Sponge Garden." My understanding is that this will retain water and will not allow my yard to drain. This area has backed up into my basement in the past and flooded it. It seems to me that this will occur more easily with the installment of the "Sponge Garden." I appeal to the city of Bloomington to send engineers to come and see if there is some way that water can be drained into the ditch along Morningside Drive.
Utilities notified the fire department that Southern Winds has re-routed domestic water to a fire line. Usage has been high on the fire line and they will be back-billed to Jan. 1997. Utilities want inspector to check it out to make sure that the fire systems are safe.
After Dunn St changes to Atwater, Atwater curves sharply until it crosses Indiana. Trees & foliage make it impossible for pedestrians to see cars until theyre upon them. The 25mph speed limit is rarely enforced. Suggests: Signs warning drivers to drive slowly, and/or blinking yellow light at intersection, and/or increased enforcement of speed limit.
Blue Ford (old complaint at same address) is gone, BUT now we have cars parking on the lawn (backyard) and in some instances blocking the alley. Can you see what can be done? 3 of the 4 houses on that block use the gravel alley to reach the parking behind their houses.
Quantity of construction waste and old kitchen equipment in and around their fenced dumpster on the NE corner of lot. Area looks bad and it has forced them to move dumpster out of fenced area. Please take a look and let me know what you think.
The Grandview Neighborhood has contacted Council Member Matt Pierce about the construction noise coming from the rock smashers at the Don Mitchell property. Apparently the construction has been going well into the night seven days a week. It appears that if the equipment has factory mufflers then construction equipment is exempted from the ordinance. Matt wanted HAND to try some gentle suasion and appeals to being a good neighbor. He is also looking into amending the ordinance.
