Sidewalk & Curb Complaints
500 E Cottage Grove AVE
- Case Date:
- 5/12/2025
Large shrub (bush honeysuckle?) at NE corner of lot has grown so much that it is now difficult to pass using the sidewalk on Cottage Grove. The property owner/manager (sign in yard says "Thatcher Real Estate") never shovels the sidewalk in the winter, but maybe the snow/ice complaints submitted to HAND earlier this year never made it to them. Probably good to be more proactive about this report, since the shrub is not going to just melt on its own like the snows did...

During the year, likely due to heavy construction equipment near my house the street to get to parking has become dilapidated. At this point whenever I pull into my driveway, the bottom of my car is hitting the ground and potentially being damaged.
Blocked Street
308 E Cottage Grove AVE
- Case Date:
- 4/9/2025
Not clear if this is the responsibility of 308 or 310, but there is a weedy tree on the south end of the property line between these two lots that has grown out a lot, so much so that it is hard to drive down the alley at this point, especially when there are tons of cars parked back there.
Potholes, Other Street Repair
823 N Dunn ST

See case #201442 (https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=201442). Given that the fiber optic project is now "on hold" (= bankrupt?), can the City step in and correct some of the damage they caused? They drilled a hole in the SW part of the intersection of Dunn/12th. It is dangerous, since there are no sidewalks on Dunn and lots of people wander through this area at night on their way to and from The Standard" via the RR. Someone is going to get hurt if the hole is not filled soon or an animal might fall in, and since there appears to be a void beneath the street right at this location, a collapse could occur if a heavy vehicle were to drive directly over it.

Cylindrical hole about 4" radius drilled into street by fiber-optic workers and left unfilled. Dangerous area because there are no sidewalks along at that location, so people are forced to walk on the street. Hole is closest to SW corner of intersection. Ankle-breaker!

Fiber-optic people bored a hole through the street, then filled it up with gravel instead of asphalt. Now, the gravel has washed away and there is a hole that someone could step in and trip. It is close to the scooter corral on the SW corner of Grant/Cottage Grove.

Clarification for case #199848: We believe the report was meant for 415 E. 10th. The people involved with the demolition are *very* amateurish - blocking traffic by running out in the street, and the bucket used to tear down the building almost fell over a couple times. hould have been done more systematic so that some of the materials could have been saved. Did they even have a permit to do this? This is a Brawley slum rental, currently listed for sale: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/415-417-E-10th-St-Bloomington-IN-47408/442693160_zpid/
