Unsafe Buildings

- 10/9/2025
Came home after new stairs were unexpectedly put in. The bottom step is way too tall (about a foot off the ground), none of the “support posts” line up, screws either not all the way in or broken, main posts at base are not very secure, wood is untreated and splintering. Top stair has an unsecured middle piece, and it wobbles when you walk down it.

The issue is the street sign at the corner of Matlock and Headley. Someone had knocked the street sign down, which used to only indicate Headley Road as you were turning onto it from Matlock. The sign was finally replaced indicating both Headley Road and Matlock Road only they put it indicating the wrong road for each. In other words, the Headley Road sign is pointed towards Matlock Road and the Matlock Road sign is pointed to Headley Road. It needs to be rotated 90 degrees.

The house appears to be abandoned and someone has broken open the front and rear doors. Someone has also broken the windshield of the abandoned car in the backyard. The accumulating trash suggests a squatter. The property needs a major cleanup and secure doors and windows.

Good Morning,
There are two Downtown Bloomington signs located on the north and south end of the sidewalk between College Avenue and the Justice Building at 301 North College. Unfortunately, they have lost their luster, the anchoring points are looking suspect and they are impeding the maintenance teams ability to remove snow. I believe these signs are located in the COB right-of-way and assume that there is a formal process to request relocation elsewhere. Preferably down the street in either direction. Please let me know.
Thank you,

Soil has eroded from storm drainage pipe that diverts water onto private property. There is evidence of prior mitigation from rip rap but more ground seems to be losing stability and there is also evidence of plant life dying.

I tripped over a broken sidewalk and fell. I needed to go to the IU Health Bloomington hospital ER for x-rays and abrasions treatment. The sidewalk needs to be repaired promptly to prevent pedestrians from having falls like this.

Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

Turning right from 17th St onto Madison St is a nightmare. You're either going to hit the car that's in the lefthand turn lane on Madison St, or you're running over the decently large curb. The only cars that can safely navigate this are small cars. If you're a truck, SUV, or, God forbid, a city bus, you're in trouble. Cars don't turn at 90 degree angles. The radius of that curb is entirely too small.
