Sidewalk & Curb Complaints
3430 S Mcdougal ST
- Case Date:
- 3/8/2026
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.

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.

The walkway back to the waterfall is very slick and turning a bit green in all this rain. It seems like it could use a power-wash. It is not currently Handicap Accessible, dangerously slippery.
