Big hole in ROW around water meter. Very close to main gas line running under sidewalk, but the utilities have not been marked. Seems like there is a State law requiring diggers to contact 811 to locate. https://indiana811.org/resources/full-law/
Ground has been dug up and left unfinished for quite awhile. I’m not sure what is supposed to be happening at the location but there is a big ditch just sitting there. Cones have fallen over. A mess on the other side of the sidewalk also.
Bushes adjacent to Best Buy parking lot blocking the sidewalk and drivers' view. Been this way all year, reported on uReport many times and nothings been done
It would be helpful to have a west-pointing "One Way" sign installed on the east side of the Lincoln/Cottage Grove intersection and maybe even a "Do Not Enter" sign to alert drivers intending to turn right that they are about to encounter one-way traffic headed west. Currently, there is a west-pointing "One Way" sign on the NW corner of the intersection, but (ironically) view of it is mostly blocked by a "Do Not Enter" sign on the SW corner of the same intersection. Drivers on Lincoln who approach this intersection and who are unfamiliar with the street directions in this neighborhood could (do) easily turn right and head east against the traffic direction, formally in commission of a moving violation but it seems unfair to ticket them when the street layout is not well-communicated to the drivers. Note: there might have been a sign in this location in the past, but there have been some ADA-sidewalk projects in the area recently that necessitated temporary removal of signs, and any signs laying about could then have been picked up by a member of one of the local fraternities, notorious for sign theft in the neighborhood.

Street tree has a few branches hanging low over sidewalk and walkway. Concerned about falling branches during winter. Will you please trim? Thank you.
Trash is overflowing containers behind house (on Fairview). There are needles on the ground a few feet from a public sidewalk where young children pass by. They have been there well over a week. No one seems to be staying at the house right now.
Many students have to jaywalk every day here to catch a bus, and 99% of drivers don’t understand the situation. If you do a quick search, you'll realize this has been an ongoing safety issue for 5–6 years. I’ve raised it before (last year and again this year), but nothing has changed. Please consider adding a sidewalk to improve safety. https://www.idsnews.com/article/2025/11/17th-street-crosswalk-crash-data-bloomington-indiana-university-campus-safety-news?utm_source=dailyheadlines&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=article-email-link
Good Morning! There is a large deceased dear in the brush along the sidewalk/multi use path. It is between the railroad tracks and Eastgate Dr. It is not visible unless you are on foot. It is beginning to smell. Not terrible yet! I am not sure which department handles deceased animal cleanup. If this is the wrong department,please forward to the appropriate department
