Greetings, I couldn't get the mayor to comment directly on the following via the Ask the Mayor program on WFIU, perhaps your dept can comment? Downtown and near downtown main streets are becoming a maze of hazardous patched sections, uneven pavement, road projects without final paving (roundabout at Arlington Road) and wear and tear that is not being attended to. I have my doubts that the Street Dept is at fault here but here is what I have observed as a lifelong resident who notices things. Due to the recent explosion of downtown building, contractors tear up our downtown streets, often major thoroughfares in order to connect to utilities, etc. They further damage the street with huge pieces of machinery needed for the construction. They finish the project and then cheap out on really repairing the damage to the street that was often in fine condition prior to them tearing it up. Then all the citizens have is a street that will kill their tires, struts and rattle their teeth as well as possibly causing accidents. They leave it up to the city to spend the huge $$$ to really fix the road correctly. The contractors and builders have no right to destroy our streets that WE pay taxes to keep in excellent condition. We should not have to wait for a scheduled road project when the road in question carries thousands of cars and other vehicles a day. This type of damage is very obvious at the northern apex of Walnut and College Avenues. Just patching the potholes and bumps and uneven surfaces is NOT enough. It seems that the streets that are getting paved and kept in the best condition in Bloomington are those who live in exclusive additions off these roads and all they had to do was to jiggle the ringer on the mayor’s cell phone and voila! the street is smooth as a baby’s bottom. Could you comment on my observations and what can be done?
