Hello, The bike lane on N College is covered in gravel and debris. Under the rail bridge north of 12th St, I am forced to bike in the far right lane of traffic due to the debris. I understand that there is a project on this area, and I sincerely hope that protected bike lanes are installed to create less stressful trips downtown.
The pavement on the B-Line Trail is buckled in several places, especially between 2d & 3d Sts. I thought this would be corrected when warm weather came, but it's now 95 degrees and it hasn't been fixed. Someone needs to flatten the bumps. It would be easy on a day like this.
We hired Arnolds Asphalt to put a driveway in and in the process of preparation, they found standing water where the meter is. Before we proceed with the driveway, I believe we need to have someone from the Bloomington city utilities department to inspect this to make sure there are no issues before new blacktop goes over it with a protective sleeve. We were notified after a fire about 2 or 3 years ago that there was a leak and there was standing water in this at the time perhaps do to the big fire trucks rolling over it while putting out the fire. Could someone please come inspect this to make sure there are no issues prior to blacktop?
I took this picture from University & Henderson. You cannot see the stop sign at 1st street at all. You cannot see it from 2nd & Henderson either, but I cannot upload more than 1 photo.
Trash scattered about on north side of property along 11th Street. Wild animals digging through it.
Discarded furniture along street. Property to the east across the alley has the same. It's been there so long it is killing the grass. If residents have moved out, can property owners be obliged to clean up their tenants' messes?
Property is regularly overgrown with invasive, noxious plants such as tree of heaven. Parker management openly admits that they do not regularly mow or shovel sidewalks for their properties, and will only do so if they receive a complaint. We hope that HAND chooses to issue fines rather than warnings for this company's rentals. They know better, but just choose to disregard responsibility and decency.
Property is so overgrown with invasive, noxious plants along alley that a tree is now leaning and is in contact with electric service wires. Also, utility pole on SE corner of lot has vines growing up near the transformer and just a few feet away from high voltage distribution lines. Property owner has let the entire property degrade so that what was once a good example of 1890s architecture is now a hovel/shack that is an embarrassment for the entire neighborhood.
A maroon car has been parked on 6th street for well over a month and unhoused people sleep in it sometimes. Parking enforcement put a ticket on it the other day and someone simply removed the ticket and seemed to throw it away. Neighborhood are concerned for their safety as it seems associated with a shed with no plumbing occupied behind the house at the corner across the street. The car's plate is tjs430
Sidewalk is completely blocked by overgrown bushes
