Why there road work at west 2nd street
Why there road work at west 2nd street
There is a large bush/small tree that sticks out in the street so that when you pass there going towards Kinser Pike you have to go over into the other lane of the street. If another car is coming in the opposite direction one has to stop. This needs to be cut way back or removed. It's been that way for a long time.
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.
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.
The fiber optic cable pit at 700 S Eastside Drive (right next to the No Parking Any time sign) is missing its (green?) cover, so now there is a big hole in the grass. I think it was blown off by a recent storm.
Massive work is being done on our short street (S. Sare Rd.) - bulldozers, trucks, people. But a large white Cadillac SUV with something in the driver's seat, possibly a human, sits parked almost in my driveway. As I was trying to get out of my driveway this morning I had to steer around several vehicles. However, there was open space behind the white Cadillac SUV, plenty of room - it could have moved to make it easier for me to get past him. He didn't move! Perhaps he is stoned, asleep, drunk, stupid, or maybe it's a robot sitting in the driver's seat. However, IT, the body in the driver's seat, indicated no intention of being helpful. He was not in a City of Bloomington vehicle, but a private vehicle, so perhaps he was an intruder, a spy of some kind, or he was hiding out because it was a stolen vehicle and he thought he would be safely overlooked in all the disruption. Lots of scenarios are possible. But if the City of Bloomington is paying this incompetent person to sit like a dummy in his private, oversized car and block the way of citizens, he should certainly be fired, or he should not be paid if you are paying him to sit there, hour after hour, oblivious to his surroudings.

Potholes/pavement disintegrating on Browning Lane at both the corners of Allendale and Browning Place. At Allendale it is remaining damage from the fiber optic digging where they had to go into the street and it and is filled with mud and water most of the time. Right now it is dry(ish!). Browning Place has been a longer term erosion. Thank you!!!
There needs to be a Dead End sign installed for this dead end street.
The parking lot is corroding, creating a mess all over the public walk way. Needs to be cleaned up asap
Cars are exceeding the speed limit on East Sheridan Drive. We are requesting either a Stop sign at the intersection of E. Sheridan Dr and S. Brilliantine to slow everyone down before someone is killed! If not a stop sign, a speed bump. Thank you.
