Excessive Growth

822 E 11th ST

Case Date:
8/27/2023

There are two bushes along N Woodlawn Ave (but one in particular that I am singling out in this complaint) that is growing over onto the sidewalk. It takes up about half the sidewalk and requires people to step onto the road verge when passing another person.

Large shrub in front of house is so large that it is mostly preventing use of the sidewalk right there. House might be an IU property. Does City have jurisdiction over Campus?

Referring to case #183807 (May 14, 2023): Query the status of the orange safety barrier on S High Street near the intersection of High and E Wimbleton, which has been there for ages and is an eyesore. Maybe it is time to remind Duke Energy that they are supposed to do the work they need to do, so that the barrier finally can be removed.

Traffic Related Complaints

W Allen St & W Bloomfield Rd, Bloomington, IN 47403, USA

Case Date:
8/28/2023

I appreciate that you are going to analyze this corner based on the potential Sudbury development. BUT, please change this intersection regardless of what happens with that development. It is already a dangerous intersection with the current traffic flow. There are near misses all day long. The accidents that happen are always bad, not just small fender benders. Allen is too steep. It makes visibility bad and makes it difficult to get traction up the hill and enter Bloomfield safely.

There is a construction site on West First Street right beside my apartment building (The Canadian Apartments, 327 W First St) that has been active for some time now. The contractors there are extremely noisy and often begin work in the early morning hours, as early as 4:30am or 5:00am. I am writing because the site is so noisy and disruptive of rest, and to ask why the contractors do not have to obey any kind of quiet hours. Is there not a city ordinance against excessive noise in the nighttime/early daylight hours? I would very much like to rest undisturbed and these contractors seem not to be going anywhere anytime soon. Please make it stop. Sincerely, Thade Correa

Utilities Yardwork

Case Date:
8/29/2023

My neighborhood located between Sherwood Oaks church and Jackson Creek middle school is currently undergoing placement of fiberoptic cables. I strongly prefer to not have this done in my yard. My neighbors seem to feel the same. It's already been done recently with Smithville (last year). They nearly hit a gas line in my neighbor's yard two houses over in our cul de sac. They did hit a water line in the yard across the street from us in the cul de sac. They seem to dig without much regard for our approval and preferences as homeowners. Do we have rights as homeowners to decline placement of these fiberoptic cables? I appreciate any correspondence. Ryan Niehaus 2515 E Caray Ct Bloomington IN

Yellowstone Ct, Bloomington, IN 47403, USA

I am trying to find out who is responsible for this cable. It is connected to one box near Kinser and Rosewood and runs 246+ feet north to another box. It has been in my yard since early May. I asked the people doing the trenching for fiber network and they said it is not theirs. I asked someone from Btown Utilities, and again, they said it is not their cable. I again went to the people trenching in my neighborhood and they said they believe it may be AT&T. I have to move this cable out into the road every single week in order to mow the grass. How do I find out, other than ripping it out of the 2 boxes, whose cable this is. The fiber network crews have long moved out of the neighborhood. Has someone forgot they left this cable just laying out in my yard? Any help is appreciated.
