Homeless camps Tons of trash
A trailer has been parked on the street for several days. The Sanitation trucks couldn't get down the street to pick up trash and recycling this week, due to the trailer taking up so much room, especially if there are other cars parked on the other side of the street. (This was confirmed by conversations with a representative at the Sanitation dept and at least 2 neighbors.) Attempts were made by at least one neighbor to ask that the trailer be moved to the driveway, but it still remains in the street. It's possible that a fire truck or ambulance wouldn't be able to get through in an emergency.
During the construction of the new building on Kirkwood, the flow of traffic has been shifted. It is clearly marked on the road, but given that it is new, I think some kind of physical lane divider may be needed (like those posts that sometimes are put up to separate lanes of traffic). I drive through that area frequently, and it is clear that a number of drivers are caught by surprise/startled when they realize they are driving in what seems like head-on traffic to the other lane that has shifted. I am concerned that a minor accident is likely.
On behalf of Crescent Bend Neighborhoos Association, I am reporting large CBU property ADJACENT to 1221 N Lindbergh. It needs major maintenance! The STORM PIPE seems to be plugged up with debris, causing the water to stream across the street. The large CBU lot needs TRASH PICK-UP and massive INVASIVE PLANT REMOVAL.
Stop sign needs to be replaced (or cleaned?). Stop sign on North East side of intersection is faded (dirty?)
A homeowner at 3430 S McDougal St, Bloomington, IN 47403 is regularly parking 3 pickup trucks on their front lawn instead of their driveway. Repeated vehicle traffic has destroyed the grass and created deep ruts and a large mud pit. Mud is being tracked into the roadway and the nearby storm drain. The vehicles also frequently block the sidewalk, requiring pedestrians to walk in the street. Summary of concerns: • Parking on unimproved surface: Multiple pickup trucks are regularly parked on the front lawn instead of a driveway or paved surface. • Sidewalk accessibility concerns: Vehicles regularly drive across the sidewalk to access the lawn parking area. The repeated traffic has created a muddy area on the sidewalk that makes pedestrian passage difficult. I have personally observed pedestrians, including individuals using crutches and wheelchairs, needing to step into the street to get around the area. • Stormwater / drainage concerns: Mud from the yard is being tracked into the street and a storm drain located along the curb. • Sediment entering storm drain: The storm drain and surrounding curb area are frequently covered with mud and sediment. • Potential utility concerns: Repeated vehicle traffic and soil compaction are occurring in an area where underground utilities may be located. • Long-term issue: This situation has been occurring and progressively worsening for approximately five years as vehicles repeatedly park on the lawn and drive across the sidewalk.
Trail crossing light is malfunctioning
While walking west on the B-Line Trail from the intersection of South Henderson Street and Thornton Avenue toward South Walnut Street, I noticed what appeared to be a dark blue sack or piece of material with something wrapped inside of it on the left side of the trail. I did not observe any visible human or animal remains, but the way the material was wrapped seemed unusual. It may simply be discarded belongings or personal effects, but I wanted to report it so that the appropriate city department can check the area. It's closer to the S. Walnut end.
