Meter cover broken. Danger to those walking in parking lot
A homeowner at 3430 S McDougal St, Bloomington, IN 47403 is regularly parking 3 pickup trucks on their front lawn instead of their driveway. Repeated vehicle traffic has destroyed the grass and created deep ruts and a large mud pit. Mud is being tracked into the roadway and into the nearby storm drain. The vehicles also frequently block the sidewalk, requiring pedestrians to walk in the street. The repeated traffic has created a muddy area on the sidewalk that makes pedestrian passage dangerous. Summary of concerns: • Parking on unimproved surface: Multiple pickup trucks are regularly parked on the front lawn instead of a driveway or paved surface. • Sidewalk accessibility concerns: Vehicles regularly drive across the sidewalk to access the lawn parking area. The repeated traffic has created a muddy area on the sidewalk that makes pedestrian passage difficult. I have personally observed pedestrians, including individuals using crutches and wheelchairs, needing to step into the street to get around the area. • Stormwater / drainage concerns: Mud from the yard is being tracked into the street and a storm drain located along the curb. • Sediment entering storm drain: The storm drain and surrounding curb area are frequently covered with mud and sediment. • Potential utility concerns: Repeated vehicle traffic and soil compaction are occurring in an area where underground utilities may be located. • Long-term issue: This situation has been occurring and progressively worsening for approximately five years as vehicles repeatedly park on the lawn and drive across the sidewalk.
Constantly parks blocking sidewalk to stollers and wheelchairs
There is probably almost 10 street lights out on North Walnut, on the east side of the road. Between Gilbert Drive and before the furniture store. Makes that portion of North Walnut pretty dark especially in heavy rain.
The entirety of Kirkwood Ave smells like feces and sewage. I suspect there is a major sewage/drainage issue.
Street light between 2908 and 2912 Kings Court, Bloomington, N 47401 is out.
Large pothole on southbound lane
E. Longview Ave. Greenway - street BIKE stencils showing some premature wear and need touch up or re-stenciling. The BIKE stencils were applied just last summer. All other stencils appear in good condition. Thank you -
