The yard has not been mowed all year. There is debris all around the house that needs to be removed. The house itself has been vacant for over 20 years. The original owner died, and his son now owns the house and lives in Greenwood.
Can Bloomington Police check in at Food Truck Fridays to put a stop to kids on electric motorcycles? On Friday, May 15, a kid was racing around on a electric motorcycle. He was going perpendicular to the B-Line zipping back and forth across it, going behind the pavilion and then across along the playground between it and the green tables. He was traveling on the electric motorcycle doing wheelies and traveling at a high rate of speed with total disregard to traffic on the B-Line and children at the playground. This motorcycle should be ticketed and removed from the park. It's not allowed on the trails and is being operated recklessly.
Virginia Creeper obscuring signage. It's grow inside and through the post, so is difficult to remove. Corner of Wylie and Washington.
There is a longstanding and ongoing drainage issue affecting the area in front of 3504 and 3505 S Westminster Way in Bloomington, IN. Every time it rains, significant flooding occurs on our street, making it unsafe for residents to leave their homes and hazardous for vehicles attempting to pass through the area. On previous occasions we cad cases of drivers have become stranded in the large pool of water that forms directly in front of these properties. This persistent flooding presents a serious public safety concern for both residents and motorists. In addition, we are living with the constant fear that continued inadequate drainage may eventually result in flooding damage to our properties. Despite the recurring nature of this problem, the existing street drains have not been properly cleared or improved, and additional drainage infrastructure appears necessary to address the issue effectively. We respectfully request that the City take immediate action to investigate and resolve this matter as soon as possible.
I wanted to report a possible erosion or settlement concern near the city-owned fire hydrant located on my property at 3521 S McDougal St in the Highlands subdivision. During recent rain events, I’ve observed significant standing water and a large, deep depression around the hydrant area. I’m concerned there may be washout, settlement, or another issue affecting the soil surrounding the hydrant or nearby utility infrastructure. I also wanted to note that there are currently two known sinkholes in the neighborhood, including one located approximately one block away from this hydrant, which increased my concern about the possibility of underground erosion or voids in the area. I’ve attached a photo showing the current conditions. I’m not sure whether this falls under Bloomington Utilities or another department, but I wanted to report it in case the hydrant or underlying infrastructure should be inspected.
