The storm drain at the corner of E Hillside and S Olive is clogged once again. This is due to the all of the runoff from gravel driveways south and uphill of the drain. This is a repeat problem everytime it rains. Please clear the drain and work on a longterm solution.
this streetlight cuts on/off every few seconds.
Several weeks ago the new fiber cables were buried along E Hillside Dr. I was working from home when one of the workers knocked on the door and asked if I had water. I did, and so did the neighbors. The worker said he ran into water, but if we all had service, then he wasn’t going to worry about it. I didn’t think anything of it. Now, we have noticed there is water coming up out of a spot along the sidewalk. I realize the picture is not really telling you much, but it’s like a small mud pit and water is coming up out the ground there. This is within the 10’ strip that the City of Bloomington owns along this section of Hillside.
The storm sewer grate at the end of Olive St where it intersects with Hillside Dr is installed so that the holes are parallel to the direction of travel, and thus bicycle wheels can fall into them. Best practices for safe infrastructure should install them facing the other direction.
Staff received verbal complaint of tree of heaven patch at 1123 E Miller Dr. Staff inspected site, which did appear to be tree of heaven. Tree of heaven primarily on private property, but may be going on City parcel as well.
yard overgrown
building seems abandoned, animals coming in and out, concerned
About a week after the taste and smell of tap water became like dirt, very organic, I began having loose stool. Last night I bought gallons of water from Kroger because the issue has only gotten worse. I've read that Lake Monroe is experiencing algal blooms, and this document by the epa indicates that this could be a problem, therefore I am reporting this for the safety of the community. https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2016-11/documents/harmful_algal_blooms_and_drinking_water_factsheet.pdf
