Large pothole
Large pothole
In front of Alumni Building on 17th Street, there was a crosswalk sign in the middle of 17th that apparently was hit by a vehicle. The IU Grounds Department picked up the pieces and took them to our shop at 901 E. 13th Street. They can contact the grounds supervisor, Rick Stanger at 812-855-0050 if they want to meet him and pick up the pieces of the sign. Thanks Jill.
2ft wide, 2-3 in deep. Southbound side, north of Summerwood Ct, North of Traffic Island.
The sidewalk on Azalea Lane next to Winslow Woods is likely the responsibility of the city of Bloomington. The brush that is overgrown the sidewalk needs to be removed immediately. Yesterday I saw over 10 athletes running into traffic to try and avoid running in the brush because there is no room on the sidewalk to walk.
Still waiting for this stretch of sidewalk to be cleared of brush by city.
Persistent, seasonal deep pothole in the same spot it's been for the past several years. This has been patched multiple times. Something more permanent is needed.
I work in an IU office at 914 E Atwater. Our parking area is in the alley behind the building. It is reached through either an east-west or a north-south alley. Most of the houses along the alleys are rental properties; at least one is a private residence. There is a lot of overgrowth from the yards that extends into the alleys. I already have a scratch on my brand-new car because of being brushed by some of that overgrowth as I pulled into a place, having had to swing wide enough to fit in between two cars. Is there anything that can be done about brush that grows into an alley? Am I within my legal rights to bring a lopper to work to cut off the brush and small trees that are narrowing the alleyway? My old car had a number of scratches for the same reason, and I was hoping to avoid it with this one. But no such luck. On a related note, it is difficult and a bit dangerous trying to turn right from the east-west alley onto Faculty. Between the power pole and the overgrowth, visibility is terrible. I am happy to do the trimming if I won't get in trouble either with the city or with the homeowners, but it obviously would be better if the city could do it. Please see the included photo, which consists of two different views. Thank you.
Most days, there is at least one (sometimes two) IU truck parked in the turn lane in front of the Atwater garage. No work is being done, no workers are seen. The trucks just seem to be abandoned all day long. Sometimes another IU truck will drop off a worker in the afternoon, who then gets in the parked truck and drives away. They are using that turn lane as an all-day parking situation, rather than using the IU garage that they're parking in front of. This happens at least two days a week, sometimes every day of the week. On a very regular basis.
IU has made the turn lane in front of the Atwater garage their own personal parking space. They park their trucks there for hours at a time on a routine basis, with no work being done nearby that would justify the need for the trucks to be there. I work in Optometry and start my day later than most, and have to wait until I get past the trucks to get into the turn lane to get into the garage. Does IU not have enough parking for its own vehicles? Nobody else would be allowed to park in a turn lane like this. Photo taken 2/11/19, 10 a.m.
