Potholes, Other Street Repair

Constituent called to report a pothole in the crosswalk just south of Child's Elementary School. He was walking his kid to school and twisted his ankle. He asked that it be filled as soon as you can so that someone else isn't injured.
This is a general observation. Over the last few years I have been seeing metal sheets screwed to Bloomington roads, presumably to cover work in progress. I have observed a problem with many of these sheets. They are screwed down with small gauge screws. They are not sufficient to keep the sheets secure. They work their way out and stick up an inch in some places. Their heads are small. They look sharp enough to damage a tire, and a damaged tire is a safety issue.
There's 2 sizable potholes on the north side of S Fenbrook Ln in The Fields https://www.google.com/maps/place/39%C2%B009'11.4%22N+86%C2%B029'09.4%22W/@39.1531729,-86.4875026,17z
Pothole on Ballantine and 1st street in the intersection. Potholes all along Pickwick off of E. Covenanter Drive heading south up to 1400 S. Pickwick Place. I felt like I was driving through a war zone yesterday trying to not hit a pothole on Pickwick Place. It is along the whole street.
The Street Department came the first of the week and put down a beautiful new layer of street in my cul-de-sac (Summerwood Ct) but when it rained the water pooled on the side of the street as high as the curb. It was at least 5 inches deep at the curb and extended halfway across the street. Apparently there formerly was a storm sewer at that particular location, but it is no longer functioning which results in water, snow, ice accumulation at that point and the streegt will quickly deteriorate. Please help!
Large pot hole in alley next to 414 S Henderson street. It is the alley that runs North to South. I have pictures of other potholes in the area as well that I couldn't attach. Please contact me for additional photos.
There are a number of potholes that need to be filled in this spot. It doesn't just need a few to be filled, but needs to be completely paved over for this stretch of potholes. Because there are so many potholes, when the spot fills with rain it's impossible to spot hazards and creates hydroplaning.
pot hole at 710 S. ParkRidge Rd.
Long gap-like pothole in the middle of the street. Dangerous for bicycle traffic.
