There is a massive trench across the full width of N Oolitic Drive. It has gotten terrible and I fear is a safety risk. It has been there since at least August 2023.
Rough temporarily paved section on heavily traveled road to North High School. Have witnessed several northbound cars swerving to southbound lane to avoid vehicle suspension damage. Accidents waiting to happen! Please finish road repair ASAP.
Hello. I recently read that many cities (more than in the past) only are planting male trees as less fruit than female trees for cleanup. Something along those lines. Anyways in short the male trees (from what I have read) are wind-blown pollen versus insect-transmitted for female. Short of it, is that all male trees is causing a big increase in suffering among those such as myself with tree pollen allergies. So please do more fruit trees/female trees. Plus fruit/food producing trees are just so much more awesome for a community. Apparently it's called botanical sexism amongst urban planners and it is increasingly recognized as a big problem. We NEED more female trees to remove pollen from the air; I could hardly breathe today. Thank you for considering diversifying the sex of Bloomington trees. I am hopeful we already are focusing on mixed or exclusively female trees and not falling into the trap of botanical sexism of male only.
Lineal Contracting from Bedford is putting in underground utilities for something (AT&T I think) in our area and left a hole in my front yard (and my neighbors) and took off without filing it in. Haven’t seen them in over a week. I called them but they gave no answers and didn’t contact me when they said they would. All I (and my neighbor) request is they return to finish their work. A complete disrespect of private property. Can you help? Enough is enough with this!!
I live on Woodburn Ave. An on Wednesday March 20th around 930am the person driving this city vehicle not only was driving way to fast down my street where kids live and play. But while out putting markings down was loudly talking/yelling to himself I assume, but it was foul language that I would not want my child to hear and possibly repeat. I know in my field of work, when you clock in you are representing your place of work. I am shocked that this is the way the city is representing out in the public eye.
Switchyard park has become unsafe. None of my mom friends want to hang out here. There’s men lurking around and sleeping in playground areas , it feels like they are watching the kids. Bloomington has to do something about the homeless situation or at least keep the homeless off the playgrounds!! Very disappointed that this beautiful playground is not safe for kids. At least add More security around playground area
called into city hall - K.Cummings, AHA inputting this issue -- John stated that he has called several times regarding this issue - there are two storm drains, one directly in front of his residence and another that is across the street that are in need of repair. John advised that the grates are too low, causing them to consistently get debris on them, causing flooding.
The 3rd street bicycle lane adjacent to the IU campus has been massively improved with the newly installed barriers! This section of the commute takes me 3 fewer minutes to bicycle on now that drivers don't block the bicycle lane. Biking in this lane feels so much safer and more comfortable with the barriers up, especially since considering drivers tend to go pretty fast on this road. Also, the barriers don't look like an eyesore at all, which is something I previously read that IU officials were concerned about. The barriers blend into the background enough to not be garish, but they are still clearly visible to drivers and cyclists. Honestly they're pretty stylish for bicycle lane barriers. As a bicycle commuter, even small-scale projects like this make me feel cared about by the city. It makes me glad to be a Bloomingtonian! Laissez le B-Town rouler!
Received a complaint from Julia Tobin at 4307 E. Bill Mallory Blvd regarding a 6" hole near the neighborhood mailboxes at the end of her driveway. It appears to be a location for fiber optics(?). She called AT&T but they said it was the city's issue. She's concerned that this hole could cause an injury. Who needs to be contacted to take care of this hole? Her ph# 812-345-3399.
