the pavement on Dodds right where it goes over the B-line trail is like riding a roller coasters everyday. many potholes and uneven pavement makes it the bumpiest part of bloomington. now I typically enjoy roller coasters- however! this one is not welcome. I thought it was my rlly old dinky car's fault almost falling apart going over this section of the road- NO lol. I got a new car- same stuff. it could give a newborn shaken baby syndrome i swear
The alley is concrete and is VERY damaged. Utility lines run down this alley as well as all residents garages. Tripping is a problem as the ground is very bad and it was patched with asphalt instead of properly correcting and replacing. This is not owned by homeowners and needs replacing completely especially on the highland ave side.
We live right in front of the new huge metal plate that is covering a construction hole on 2nd. This plate is so loud and boomy each time a car drives by, so, constantly. It vibrates our home and can be heard all the way in the back over noise machines. Can anything be done to slow down traffic here in hopes of some peace? We’ve been very patient with the ongoing, loud, repairs being done all day and sometimes all night, as well as the reduced parking and blocked access to our driveway. As you know, all the streetlights have been removed around here, making it harder for vehicles to see this plate and slow down in time.
-This house/property has been unoccupied for the ENTIRE ~20 years that I have lived on the adjacent property at 2618 S Milton Dr. -The house is deteriorating. No maintenance has been done to the house for ~10 years. -The garage, as you can see from the pic, is dilapidated and likely on the verge of collapsing. -The back yard has been growing wild/is with no maintenance for ~10 years, with a large portion being a thicket of Locust and other small trees. -There are very large Silver Maple trees that are a significant hazard to neighboring properties. -The garage, area under the decaying deck, etc. are almost certainly providing shelter for rats, racoons, skunks, groundhogs, etc. The blight seen here is unacceptable in Broadview which has become more a very nice, presentable neighborhood in the 20 years I have lived here.
A lot of trash between wooden sidewalk and 2nd St., just east of Rose Avenue. Photo is looking east, but not much trash is visible in it.
Beaten up plastic chair and metal table frame at the edge of the front yard. Have been there for over a week now.
There's always a lot of trash and empty alcohol containers thrown into the woods after sporting seasons. Would it be possible to add a recycling in the parking lot so that there's less chance of broken glass? Thank you
The yard is heavily infested with the yellow-flowering invasive weed Lesser Celandine that the city sent out a flier about, but the house is unoccupied and up for sale, so it’s not clear anyone would receive that notification or be responsible for removing/poisoning the plants. I can see a few plants in the adjacent yards along Brown Ridge, too.
Trash or homeless camp in woods
