Small sinkhole roughly 1 foot in diameter has appeared in the drainage ditch area in front of our main production facility. The hole is knee deep but appears to have very soft ground inside. The hole is very close to a fire hydrant, so we aren't sure if its a result of storm drainage/runoff, or if there might be a leak somewhere. We're hoping the City of Bloomington can come out to take a look and advise of next steps.
I've noticed that the uReport system no longer shows the text of the updates made. There are only dates and words like "open" and "assignment" and "closed." Citizens cannot see what the City has said or reported about these uReports. There are no details on who is working on the case, what is being done, etc. Is there a reason why this information has gone away and transparency is now lost?
Pothole on south side of E Smith Ave, between S Washington and S Lincoln Street. This hole is deep and will need a fair amount of filling before patching it. Is this section of E Smith Ave between S Lincoln and S Walnut going to be repaved anytime soon ? Because it gets a lot of traffic with families picking up and dropping off students at the project school and has been patched many many times. Thanks, Mark Benton
Sidewalk was marked toward end of last year but nothing ever happened. Just wondering if anything will be done and what it was
Currently, the city only has one method for filing noise complaints, which is to call the number listed on the city's website. Having only one reporting method is extremely ineffective, and limiting the reporting method to only verbal communication creates a barrier for accessibility. There are individuals who cannot communicate over the phone - like me. Illness stole my voice years ago, but my hearing was not impacted - I still hear the noise. I just can't report it. Not sure what an adequate fix would be, as it would have to be something that is regularly monitored. (Address provided is rough estimate of area where heavy bass plays frequently, it could be one of these houses or an apartment building - I needed to put a location on the map, so I included that one.)
There are a few grass-cutting services in town that use loud, industrial, gasoline-powered equipment that is designed and intended for use on large fields/cemeteries/etc., but they are instead being used on small, residential plots up close to neighboring properties whose residents do not appreciate the noise, hazards, and pollution produced by these dangerous machines. Are there any City regulations about the use of such equipment in the city limits? For example, the property immediately adjacent to the Grant Street Inn on 7th Street uses such a service. The large equipment is startingly disruptive and annoying.
Hole alongside water meter in ROW has been present for a while. Dangerous. Please fill in. For reference, see #202952 and #202953. NB: Depending on where exactly you click on the map, the address that comes up is sometimes *incorrectly* listed as "414 E. Cottage Grove", but that is wrong. The *correct* address is 450 E. Cottage Grove. Hole is by the street closest to the SW corner of the lot.
There is part of a tree down in front of 4104 N. Rosewood. It is hovering over the side walk and I'm afraid it's going to fall on someone. Thank you.
