Can the City not require the Indiana Railroad to install some type of flashing light, larger warning sign or something to help prevent this from happening? There has been an increasing amount of trucks hitting this bridge, at least 6 in the past year that I'm aware of.
People absolutely FLY down our road (west 8th). Multiple family pets have been hit and kids are always trying to play outside but have to worry about cars not paying attention. Speed bumps need to be put in.
There are 4 grade schoolers and a toddler living at 1402 W 8th. Several residents in Waterman push strollers. A blind man and his service dog walk to/from his home on West 8th. Drivers occasionally reach 50 mph on 8th street. A "slow children" sign might slow them down.
There is trash, appliances, toys, an RV full of items never used and a van that is packed with trash bags, among other things. If this isn't hoarding, it is close to it. I've complained numerous times through the years and nothing really gets done. They cover it with tarps and that's about it. I'd love to see this property cleaned and kept clean. It is an eye sore and it is bringing my property value down. I couldn't sell my property right now because no on wants to live next to that! I don't have a picture, but you can look at the satellite picture on Google Maps and see most of it. I can take a pic if necessary.
Called to report trash and other miscellaneous items in the yard of this address. Would like a call with an update as soon as one becomes available.
Re: #165767 metal trash cans and car tire are not on his private property, according to Street Department. Also, the City never gave up right of way to alley before Habitat Street was paved, but property owner converted area to private use. He did the same thing with the Indiana RR right-of-way, but the RR cleared all of his junk out. City code prohibits open containers and trash being scattered. City code prohibits cans left on City Streets.
Please comply with Municipal code Chapter 6.06 - GARBAGE AND WEEDS The Street Department has told me repeatedly that Habitat St extends fully in front of 1417 W Habitat St, and the City of Bloomington will never reliquish right of way. Chance may have told City officials that the property is completely his, but he had converted both the front and back of his lot to his own needs. The Indiana Railroad cleared his stuff off their right-of-way; the story was in the papers. The City did not check about the trash with adjacent property owners at 1407 or 1419 West 8th St. In any case there are uncovered metal trash cans on City property, as well as a used tire. His trash still lines Habitat Street and the back of lot 1419 W 8th St. I have not been able to enjoy my back yard for years, and I anticipate another fine crop of mosquitoes to breed there each year, due to City inaction. Can you fix it? https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=155196 https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=154439

There Our boards big pieces of wood there are air conditioners and appliances in this yard there’s an aquarium there’s just all kinds of stuff that is not considered for use outside it’s just piled up junk I would appreciate it if you guys would actually and truly do something about it it’s aggravating it causes me embarrassment when people come over to my house. I consider this very negligent in the owner and in the city who virtually does nothing to fix the problem please make a difference
