Drainage or Runoff

Case Date:

Silt fence has been removed; dirt will easily runoff into stream

Blocked Sidewalk

Case Date:
3/18/2021

Sidewalk on south side of 17th st, across from 924 w 17th. Mud has again accumulated from the runoff at the tri north construction site. When it's raining, the whole hillside now drains onto the sidewalk, from the tri north driveway west to the western property line. This sidewalk gets the direct runoff of a whole acre now. The sidewalk is now a culvert for the hillside. Nothing serves as a culvert for the sidewalk. A river flows through the sidewalk. This isn't going to go away when the grass grows back. It will be a complicated and expensive problem to solve. Please make addressing this drainage problem a condition of signing off on their work and getting their ROW escrow back, or this sedimentation will continue indefinitely. Thanks!

Illegal Discharge (Storm Sewers)

Case Date:
3/24/2021

Walking by 419 Highland Street I have noticed water being discharged from a pipe leading from the house to the street. It appears to be intermittent so I suspect it is from the washing machine. Based on the staining and algae in the street I suspect that it has been going on for some time.

Blocked Sidewalk

Case Date:

Sidewalk on south side of W 17th just east of tri north construction entrance covered with mud again. I can't overemphasize that the sidewalk itself is serving as a culvert to drain several acres and this problem will not go away on its own when the construction crews leave. I'll try to remember to come out here with a ruler when it rains next week to record the depth of the creek. Kids will be using this sidewalk to walk to school even on rainy days and their shoes should not be completely submerged!! We are going to look into this today (5/17). We believe that a soil stockpile and a storm drain with inlet protection is not allowing water to flow into the storm drain. We are going to investigate again and see if we can identify the exact issue.

City Performance

3230 S Walnut St, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA

Case Date:
6/1/2021

On Saturday, May 29, 2021, this City-owned site was producing a lot of loud construction noises after 10:30pm. The noises included audible beeping from trucks or equipment backing up and loud banging noises, possibly the sound of either dump truck tailgates slamming on the bed of the trucks or some sort of excavator hitting the ground repeatedly. City ordinances only allow construction noises up to 10pm. Can the City be a better neighbor and not produce these loud, annoying noises at such late hours of the day?

Illegal Discharge (Storm Sewers)

401 N Sheffield DR

Case Date:

As commonly done when the storm drain is cleaned they dump the debris into the yard which ends up killing the grass I was told that when they clean the drains they're supposed to take the debris with them. I'd appreciate it if they would I've been fighting keeping grass growing here and when the water goes fast if there's no grass growing it takes the topsoil. Thank you

Illegal Dumping in Drainage Easement and Common Conservation areas in Gentry South- Course construction sand (over 100 square feet and up to 10" deep) plus tree brush and other mulched woody material, large insect ridden sawed cut logs (including 47" logs), small rock and trash items have been dumped into the drainage easement area behind my house. The area that serves to hold flood water is being filled in, invasives are taking hold where the sand is, and the large debris is damaging trees. I know the area was free from this for at least 6 years prior, even during record water flow. The first occurrence was in early April 2020 and happened again the next year during early April 2021. These dumps are sudden. It was free of more sand at the end of March. Then, a week later there was suddenly a large dump of sand again. I was quoted $4,000 to remove the first dump of sand. Additionally, someone has dumped what looks like yard mulch/waste twice in this neighborhood’s Common Area/Conservation Easement.

Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

Case Date:
9/24/2021

the multiusepath along Vernal Pike west of 69 is covered with a LOT of gravel and debris, making it a real mess for bike riders. The cars on Vernal are rude, even with a very wide road, so riding on the road a rider has to contend with drivers yelling at them even though they have plenty of room, or the rocks on the bike path. it would be great if the path could be swept.

Got a call from next door neighbor who says backyard fence is out of compliance and that they are excavating in their back yard with the intention of installing some "huge metal things" underground.The huge metal things are currently in the driveway at the location awaiting installation.
