Caller said: I'm contacting regarding a dangerous pothole near the intersection of South College Mall Road and 3rd Street. So I was driving there this morning, driving at the intersection, and I was on 3rd Street, and near the intersection. There's this pothole, which my, unfortunately, the front right side tire got busted because of that.
I am the HOA Board president for Windermere Woods. I have received comments regarding holes that were dug in the common area between the lower portion of Windermere Woods Drive and College Mall Rd. I honestly don’t know if it’s a sewer issue or something left from the installation of fiber optic lines. I’m starting with sewers due to the location of the holes. There are two storm sewer grates along the east side of WW Dr by CMR. If you go about 10 feet directly east of the grates, you’ll see the holes. Both are about 12-18” deep and I’m concerned someone may step into one and be injured. I’m happy to meet someone and show them the two spots. If it’s not a COB issue, I’ll reach out to the fiber optic people. Thanks.
The fire department left a grill behind when they left the old Bunger Robertson building. It needs to be removed. If they don’t have a proper grill at their new location, please contact me so we can donate a new grill. The one they left behind is forlorn.
We continue to experience recurring flooding and standing water. There is a single small drain outlet on our side of the street. Rising water frequently threatens to enter our retail location, especially when cars pass and cause waves. More photos and video available upon request.
After heavy rains Sat. and Sun., 19th St. between Walnut and N. Washington looked ghetto with all the trash that washed down from Lincoln St. All the storm drains along 19th were and are packed with trash and debris. The storm water drainage in this area is under sized. This has been a problem for years.
The city council phone number listed on bloomington.in.gov (812-349-3409) is completely unreachable. Any time I call I get immediately disconnected, with a busy signal, and no option to leave a voicemail. I hope this is a simple oversight. The page for the common council literally says that the council is supposed to be a link between the citizens of Bloomington and their government. I have tried emailing my councilperson and not gotten a response there either. I was told by Mayor Thomson's husband when he came canvassing at my house before the election that she wanted to make it easier for residents to communicate with their government. This seems like an easy place to start.
Construction for hopewell neighborhood: driving west between rogers and walker. Today is the 3rd time there is a team working without a flagger directing traffic in the street. The work is being done with a bobcat of some kind blocking one lane immediately before a hill, where you cannot see oncoming traffic. I’ve called twice about this already. Thank you!
Bus 2493 at approximately 19.20 cut me off and refused to yield right away. The driver was pulling away from the curb and I was on a fully illuminated bicycle. Please forward to BPD for warning and counseling.
Unclear what "Signs removed again" means in the response to case #201508. The signs are still there - bright orange, "stop-sign"-shaped signs on wooden stakes. They are trashy. This has been going on for years. Property is managed by long-time Bloomington firm that rents apartments in tacky, motel-like apartment buildings, at one time referred to as "Plantations". https://www.crerentals.com/listings
