The City of Bloomington was doing road construction repairs outside of my building and broke my light pole and never came back to replace or repair!

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.
whatever person decided to put up a thing of poles at the turn at the light needs to remove them. never had a problem at that turn and almost get into a crash today because of them
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!
Duke Energy has refused to remove a large orange cable that is down on the length of my property (3/4 of an acre). They say someone else needs to take care of it, like maybe a cable company. I am concerned that it is dangerous to kids in my neighborhood and I cannot do yard work around it. Moreover, it is in the utility easement. They said to pick it up and see if it is attached to the utility line and I am unwilling to do that because it seems risky. In any case, no utility should be leaving their waste on my property and they should take responsibility for removing it safely.
This is the mess still behind my home from the fiber optics people…
Gigabtye Contracted companies placed these while laying lines but have not returned to address their lack of filling in the side. This one just a great example but many if not all are this bad. Easy to fall into or wreck your bike if you don’t see the ruts on all sides. Especially for those of us who walk/ride at night. Where’s the oversight if any? Please fix these.
This huge break in the road was not properly marked - the cone was well over a foot from the edge - and I hadn't realized how far in it went until it was too late to avoid it. Two of my tires popped, and my car had to be towed. I'd like the city to reimburse me for replacing them, but more importantly, I'd like for them to make sure these holes are properly marked.
The contractor doing underground work (fiber?) left a bunch of loose soil along the west side of Walnut St Pike. They came back and seeded and strawed some mother areas but not this.
This is a photo of a storm water drain which has a visible cable present. This is not a request for action, just making you aware
