Workers were grinding sidewalk at this location around noon creating large, visible clouds of silica dust. Per OSHA regulations, concrete grinding requires use of a vacuum or water to control silica dust emissions. Clearly these controls were not being used or were malfunctioning. This was happening right next to a school. Children shouldn't get silicosis because of a cement grinder's negligence. This is the second time I've reported the issue of uncontrolled cement dust from sidewalk griding, please do something about it.
Hole in pavement where recent water line break was repaired. Needs filled in as my truck suffered misalignment. Thank you.
Pothole near covered water access/manhole type area on 17th Street going east. Nearest intersection is 17th and Woodlawn, but the pothole is before you get to 17th and Woodlawn if you are going east on 17th Street. It is in the concrete area surrounding the manhole.
The city of Bloomington utilities replace many water mains in April. Our asphalt has still not been repaired and replaced.

In the NE corner of the Sare/Rogers roundabout, the right turn lane (on to Sare Road from Rogers Road) has severe damage to the concrete. Many of these large concrete pieces have actually separated and they move up and down precariously when cars/trucks traverse them. Rain water (and the upcoming freeze/thaw cycle) will likely make the situation even more unstable.
This sidewalk issue is on Brighton Crest, but the house faces Bennington Blvd. I have lived in the neighborhood (Gentry Honours) for 10 years and this sidewalk situation has been a problem the whole time. Their downspout drain sits right on the edge of this area, but also water and mud come down the hill from their yard. When it rains, it looks like the photo. When it snows or becomes ice, it’s terribly dangerous. Most walkers have learned to walk around it or move to the other side of the street to avoid it. I understand that before I moved here, the owners tried to correct it by digging into the easement and adding rocks. Unfortunately, it’s getting worse and a proper fix is needed. Thank you.
The street is really starting to fall apart in places, particularly on the sides of the road. There are several places where the decay is so pronounced that it has become dangerous to mow (because of large, hidden, chunks of asphalt. In other areas there is little to no proper drainage because of crushed culverts, etc. A recent water main break has also caused a very large pothole which will obviously deteriorate as winter approaches. As with other potholes in the past, this means that cars need to pay attention to the potholes, sometimes swerving to avoid. Since the street has no sidewalks (and in some places not even grassy places to walk) yet is home to many elementary school children who walk to and from the busstop each day, this is particularly dangerous, especially for drivers who do not live on the street (like Amazon, UPS and other drivers.) Please take a look at these situations at your earliest convenience.
A few weeks ago workers put new tunnels for water flow under the road of Browncliff (downhill) and left the road in a very rough pothole state. Since then they have not been back. They should have come back right when it happened and should have not let it sit here for months to wait. Could you please look into it and send out a crew whenever weather permits. Thanks for your attention.
