At the intersection of Henderson & Brenda, water is running down the road.
I hope I am reporting this to the same place that I did earlier (see below) The City of Bloomington website is a bit Byzantine in nature I live at 1300 East Maxwell Lane on the SE corner of E. Maxwell Lane and Highland Avenue. Several weeks ago I contacted you about a hole in the pavement that runs in front of out house. It is situated in an offset parking area that looks to be on the easement along the front of our house. The hole is about 8 inches across and several inches deep. Below the surface of the pavement you can see the top of a pipe which extends north towards an open drainage area at the intersection of East Maxwell Lane and Highland. It would seem to continue to the south down Highland. You can see the edge of the pipe, which is open, where the hole in the pavement has formed and it looks as though water must have been draining out at this point causing the surrounding material around it to erode which allowed the pavement above it to collapse. Several days after I contacted you someone from the city did come out and look at it but said that he was not sure as to whether it was the city’s responsibility to correct the problem or ours as the homeowners. He said he would need to research the situation to see exactly what might be involved in the problem and who should take care of the repair. However we have not heard anything from the city concerning this and we would like to have it corrected before winter sets in with more rain and snow runoff creating more of a problem, which I feel sure will ultimately affect not only our lot but also the street adjacent to it. A few days after that person was here I did see a city car pulled up alongside Maxwell Lane for a few minutes but no one got out or came to the door to inquire but it could have been someone else from the city coming to assess the situation. They may have been thinking that the problem was on that side of the house since we do have a Maxwell Lane address but the house faces Highland and the problem is on that side. I don’t know, this is just a guess. Could someone there please check to see what is happening with this problem?
Maybe this can be used on the court house for the control of the crows http://birdbuffer.com/home-style-2/how-it-works/
Location of problem: 1331 S Winfield Rd Nearly every evening, multiple cars parked in the yard of this house. The attached photo was taken while there was daylight, later that evening there were nine cars parked in the grass. On 11/12 I was walking my dogs at about 10PM, a car coming down started to turn into the driveway but headed for the lawn instead. I was 15 ft from the drive & was almost hit.
Fit Core equipment needs cap; located adjacent to paved path and parking at Winslow Sports Park
several larger and smaller potholes on E Second Street, going towards the Mall, coming from High Street. Have already reported this by phone, but they still are there. Thanks!
Resident called in to report a dead deer in Hoosier Acres. The deer is on the east side of Reisner Road between E. 3rd Street and Meadbrook Dr. It has been there for approximately three days.
The light for traffic crossing Rt 45 and Leonard Springs Road needs to be lengthened. Many run the red light there to attempt to get across.
There is a person by CVS on North Walnut who is shining a light or something that causes a person to have severe vision problems momentarily. This has happened to me several times. I see something like stars for several minutes and then it goes away. I prefer not to give my name, but this is something I have experienced several times in this area while out walking. This is causing a major safety concern and is a severe disturbance. I believe there is a person doing this or a person is programming a piece of technology to do this. I've been the victim of several assaults in Bloomington besides this specific problem.
The intersection of Patterson and 2nd street is horribly timed. The turning lane can maybe get 3-4 cars through it. The lanes that cross can maybe get 5-8. This especially bad in the mornings. There are several times that I have almost been hit by the turning lane as they are trying to rush the red light (due to the small # of cars that can get through). Also, there are several times that people in the turning lane on 2nd are running the light which puts the Patterson Drive people at a risk to get hit or not have enough time to get through the light.
