City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Submission Received #210964

Drainage or Runoff:

Other: Any time it rains, a large body of standing water forms in the alleyway behind 530 N Lincoln St, near our apartment complex dumpster that makes it hazardous to walk through, drive through, use the dumpster, use the alleyway, and this could potentially be harmful for the structure of Stonechruch Apartments. There were just stormwater improvements to Lincoln St between 7th and 8th, is it possible to install a stormwater drainage grate here?

Correcting this issue would require extension of storm sewer infrastructure into the alley by the Utilities Dept. or regrading of the alley by the Street Dept. Neither of these are typically performed due to other priorities. The City does have a project planned on 10th St that will include the installation of inlets on 10th St to help intercept a substantial amount of the runoff from the north and we will continue to monitor this situation with this planned improvement in mind.
