Line of Sight

SUBWAY

Case Date:
6/19/2019

Near corner of Woodlawn/Atwater: alley that exits onto Woodlawn between Subway/apartment bldg. and rental house is dangerous. Shrubs on corner of Subway/apartment bldg. completely block the line of sight for drivers pulling out of this alley onto Woodlawn. Nothing can be seen that is approaching from the north and heading south. Have to pull car partially into the roadway to see if anything is coming. This is a heavily used alley due to an IU parking lot, IU office building and student housing rentals whose parking can only be accessed through the alley. And the area, itself, is active. This is even more dangerous to pedestrians/bikes/scooters. We cannot see them approaching and THEY CANNOT SEE US, either. It was bound to happen sooner or later and could have ended in injury or death. Yesterday I almost hit a jogger who was heading south on the sidewalk as I was trying to pull out onto Woodlawn. I couldn’t see him approaching due to the shrubs. He also could not see me! The shrubs completely blocked his line of sight and he couldn’t see that a car was approaching. The city has known about this for at least two years and hasn’t done anything to address it. My colleagues and I have tried repeatedly to have this fixed. Three cases were found in my search, but I know that there are more because this has been ongoing for longer than two years. Case #161202, 9/18/17, second half of complaint reported this. The case was closed with no mention of it having been addressed. Case #164914, 6/21/18, and case #167848, 3/21/19, are both still open. With neither showing any update that this is being addressed. Why? How can this be left unattended for so long? A whole year for case #164914! At some point there is going to be a tragedy here and it’ll be on the city for not having addressed this after multiple hazard reports.

Potholes, Other Street Repair

3801-3999 S Indian Creek Dr, Bloomington, Indiana, 47403

Case Date:
6/18/2019

On Leonard Springs Road along the Woodland Springs Apts. and across from a large land for sale sign is a deep hole! I'm sure it isn't supposed to be a deep hole and I know it is a drain as water sat there in that area a lot. There are no bars across the top of the drain hole and any car that hits it is going to wreck badly. Please have someone take a look at it. Thanks

Water Utility Problems

Grease Pit

Case Date:
6/18/2019

Nikole Smith update: I have reapplied to Perry Township trustee because of denial because of lack of communication from landlord. Also CAP has denied assistance. I have been referred to Trinity Episocopal Church for assistance and was told to contact them again in the morning. I have went to the courthouse to file a claim for lack of communication and negligence to compromise a conclusion for payment. I am currently unemployed but have a job offer but it is still in process for background check, and etc before monetary compensation. I do apologize for the inconveniences, and I am doing my best to resolve this matter.
