We have a safety issue at Zikes Rd., south. At the top of Zikes Road we have many families with young children who play out in the yards and ride their bikes. We have a speeding problem Zikes Road. This needs addressed. People come up the road going north at high rates of speed. I would hate to see a child get hurt or killed. This is an ongoing problem. We need speed bumps here on Zikes Road.
Traffic light at E 3rd Street and Kingston Drive is not working properly causing significant back-ups for Chick-fil-A and Target traffic. The left turn arrow for S. Kingston onto westbound E. 3rd Street only cycles long enough for three cars to make the turn. There were a dozen cars in line this morning to make the turn. Everyone then has to wait another two minutes (too long) for the light to cycle again.
There is a watering station for humans and dogs located on the Clear Creek Trail, 1/6th of a mile south of the Gordon Pike overpass. The button for the dog watering part of the station is sticking, resulting in the water continually running. This was observed Thursday, September 11 at 8:40 a.m.
Resident called in to complain about the location of a dumpster that has been parked beside their residence for approximately 2 months. Problems related to the dumpster location precipitated after IU students began move-in activities earlier this month. The resident has not been able to reliably utilize sanitation services because the dumpster obstructs access for sanitation vehicles. Sanitation has issued warnings to the resident for trash build-up, but the resident does not control the dumpster and has requested help to remediate the problem.

There is a hole at least 2-3 ft deep and 12 inches in diameter along the curb across from the apartments within roughly 5 ft or so to the right of the fire hydrant but before the yellow plastic coated wire (closer to Crescent Donuts location) that is very dangerous. I fell into the hole the other night while out on a trip to the gas station at around 12:45am on September 17, 2025.
There is a pothole that is forming on the side street at 822 W. 1st Street. It recently formed and had a pretty big cavity underneath it. Enough to cause damage if people keep driving on it and it erodes.
Pretty good size pothole in the eastbound lane of E Burks. It's located at the exit of the old Wonderbread factory and I snapped a pic.
There are many abandoned vehicles parked here. Many are on an unimproved surface. This seems to be a violation of unimproved surface parking, abandoning vehicles, and using the street as a junkyard. Can these vehicles be fined and removed?
Abandoned Gold Toyota has been sitting for over a week Plate # 646EEA (02) Location: 7th and Pine (1127 w 7th st Bloomington IN.)
