Why there utilities road work on kinser pike near classic lane
This vault installation is not working. Location: ROW of N Jackson St, just south of the SW corner of N Jackson and W 13th. Vault installer (per plaque on the vault): Hoosier Fiber Networks. First, the pea gravel is not a great choice for fill in the ROW. I am pretty sure this is supposed to be a vegetated tree plot. Second, the fill is eroding away, leaving deep holes in the ROW. Please make Hoosier Fiber Networks fix it. Thank you!
Fiber contractor hit house sewer line—sewer is now backed up.
There is a large construction caution sign that was left standing next to the sidewalk by the fiber optic installation crew. It has been here now for over 2 weeks without any obvious work still going on.
Not sure who to contact for fiber installation issues. The workers installed a plastic access pipe in my front yard in the corner of driveway and sidewalk. Inevitably, a large truck is going to drive over it and crush it, potentially damaging the fiber. They removed the tarp with dirt, so I a now assume they are done? Would like to see this access moved farther from driveway.
Following up on Case# 200891: There remain two large concrete utility enclosures sitting by the street. One is on the NW corner of Lincoln/8th and another a block further on the NW corner of Lincoln/9th. They appear to be associated with the fiber optic installation. They are just sitting there.
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
I would like to know who installed this on my property. It’s leaking e. coli and that needs to be fixed.
Should this be corrected to avoid falls or other problems?
As you may know, the cable installers are back at work in the Winslow Farms neighborhood (after leaving it uncompleted for well over a year), and they are inflicting significant damage on properties. We came home to find piles of dirt and rock, a new ground box not flush with the ground, and significant damage far up into our lawn from their boring machine--way beyond the utility easement. Further, their work is damaging sidewalks-both cracking the concrete and pushing it up to create tripping hazards. They were rude to our neighbor who confronted them about these issues. Further, they indicated that they were going to trench back between the houses on Azalea, across the conservancy area, to Bayberry. I would like to talk with someone from the city about this excessive damage, how far back onto our property they are allowed to bring their construction equipment before it becomes trespassing, what is an acceptable expectation/timeline for repairs to our lawn, and what sort of plans they may have for trenching back between our houses and across a conservancy area. They posted announcements of their work AFTER they began and a neighbor complained. Please contact me when you can to discuss the ongoing damage this company is doing to our properties and neighborhood.
