There is a City-owned tree in the ROW that is completely covered in vines, some of which are poison ivy. The vines are right next to the sidewalk, and are so high that the vine is going to seed. Is this the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, or does the City attend to its own trees?
A few of the capstones on the retaining wall out front are precariously hanging close to the edge as a result of long-term, hydrological processes. They look like they are about to fall, especially if someone happens to sit on the wall at that place. Owner of this property is the same as 322 E. 12th, the one with the dangerous sidewalk. He is an out-of-state, absentee landlord who doesn't care about the neighborhood or safety in general. If he is going to be required to fix the sidewalk on 12th, please also require him to attend to this retaining wall. One of the capstones has already fallen and broken. Someone just picked it up off the sidewalk and placed it back on top of the wall without mortar.
Street cut on Winfield, just north of Valley Forge. Has been there for weeks - has this been forgotten? So bad that someone put cones in it. Thank you for looking!
Your u report not working
Broken pedestrian traffic light. (I tried submitting with a photo, but it never went through.)
I'm having issues with the UReport website wherein my attempts to submit forms for excessive growth have been unsuccessful. I have been able to reach step 3, but then get hit with a message that says something along the lines of "form processing" or "form submitting." A look at recently submitted reports finds no record of my attempts to submit. It's possible the issue is with my laptop/internet but I'm more inclined to blame the UReport website for these issues.
Alley on the north side of 112 W 6th Street, Bloomington IN: there is a guardrail installed, the base is utterly deteriorated, very loose to the touch, poses a danger to pedestrians and any vehicular traffic brave enough to use the ease and/or north alley. Needs to be repaired. Thank you.
Sent a request on April 8th for information concerning an area of our parking lot that use to be an alley. We have some issues and were trying to get some answers.
Using the MyBloomington website, ( https://bloomington.in.gov/mybloomington/ ) It would be helpful to list the historic designation per the SHARD for houses both in and out of historic districts. (i.e. C / Contributing, NC / Non-Contributing, O / Outstanding, etc.) and linked to a page that explains WHAT THAT MEANS in terms of modifications to the outsides of houses, whether or not that structure is in an historic district. Many homeowners come before the Historic Preservation Commission angry and uninformed. Consult with the HPC Program Manager, Noah Sandweiss, on what to put in these blurbs - it changes based on whether the property is in a district, as well which district it is in.
