Recently, the City has redone the intersections along East Cottage Grove to make the corners ADA-compliant. Unfortunately, the jobs were not completed. The installations of the warning plates are fine, but the street surfaces flanking them are not. The streets are all eaten up with deep, sharp gullies on each side of every installation at each corner of all four streets involved (Washington, Lincoln, Grant, and Dunn) where they cut through the concrete to prepare for the work. Also, the bit of asphalt applied to the corners afterwards was just mounded up and left bumpy and difficult for chairs (and walkers!) to navigate. Right now, all intersections are far more dangerous than they were before the project started, and if left in this condition will only get worse when debris, leaves, snow and ice begin to accumulate, and the rate of street degradation will intensify.
A new resident moved into the neighborhood recently who is in a wheelchair (permanently). He appreciates the ADA-compliant corners at the intersections, but he has difficulty navigating some of the sidewalks where they cross alleys. This particular location is *notoriously* degraded and should be the first alley-repair done next time the City is thinking about ADA issues. Specifically, it is midway between Lincoln and Grant on the south side of 10th. Thank you.
Street light is out near the B-Line on North Adams Street.

There are 4+ unregistered junk vehicles parked on the street. And 2 unregistered junk vehicles parked on the driveway.
There appears to be no street sign at the intersection of W. 17th and Crescent (just before the bridge going over the bridge over I69). If there is one, I certainly could not find it. I was looking for an apt complex (Union at Crescent) and wasn't sure I had the right road to turn on. Sign would sure be helpful. Thanks!
Pothole Developing in the roadway.
The street has deteriorated so there is a large pothole when entering/exiting the entrance to the building at 116 S Madison St, Bloomington. Could you please fill the void in the street?
