Potholes, Other Street Repair
1035 W 6th ST
- Case Date:
- 5/30/2022
The potholes outside 1035 West 6th Street (47404) are becoming unnavigable for any non-motorized vehicles, despite 6th street being a common thorough way for scooters, bikes, skateboards, etc. It will soon become an issue for cars as well if the city does not address the growing potholes that cover the enter width of the street. The city has done much to improve the sidewalks on 6th street and plans to do other improvements to the road, but the number one priority should really be to repair these potholes. I've talked to many of the neighbors about sending in complaints (I hope they do). Thank you for your time!

You may want to update your tree plot info as this tree was cut down by the homeowners about 2 years ago. An I don't know if they had permission or not but it was never replaced.

Drainage or Runoff

The ditch area, and currently un-mowed area on N Hancock Drive on the west edge of Crestmont Park, is CBU Street Department area. In an effort to reduce carbon footprint by mowing this strip seasonally, to decrease stormwater runoff into the overloaded culvert during rain events and to increase sustainability, native tree growth and pollinator habitat, this area could easily be a no-mow area. There are no overhead power lines at risk of native trees growing tall in this area. In addition, during an Adopt-a-Greenspace site survey it was noted invasive Tree of Heaven is growing in several spots along this strip. The Tree of Heaven MUST be chemically controlled and not mowed or more TOH trees will emerge. Crestmont Park and surrounding Crestmont landowners are engaged in supporting their woodland landscapes. Adding a no-mow strip along N Hancock is in keeping with the surrounding greenspace. I propose this strip be slated as a no-mow area for the above reasons. Thank you. Please note, the Tree of Heaven has been mapped for Vegetation Management to control.
Thank you, Gillian

Street Lights
1720 N Kinser PIKE

Light to turn north/left on Kinser Pike from S.R. 46 heading east is very short. I see only 3-4 cars able to turn left until the light turns red then flashes yellow. During rush hour the turn lane backs up into the grid area and into the first straight lane causing traffic continuing east on 46 to swerve around into the next lane. I see many cars run the red turn light because the light to turn left is so short.
Utilities Construction

I spoke with two Martha Street residents who mentioned that they are seeing many people taking a short cut through the culvert that runs east-west between Matlock Heights and Lower Cascades. They indicated that following some utilities work, they were expecting workers to install a No Trespassing or Private Property sign to deter such foot traffic, but that no such sign has been installed. Could you follow up and see what might be done at this site? Thanks!
Bus Services (Bloomington Transit)
3131 N Valleyview DR
- Case Date:

The city bus routinely drives through the Fritz Terrace neighborhood too fast. I don’t have a radar gun but the speed limit is 20 and they are obviously going over. On Saturday 5/21 sometime around 3:00 I believe the bus hit and killed a neighbor’s dog near 3131 Valleyview and continued their route. I did not witness the event but was told by a neighbor the bus stopped for a moment at the same location the dog was hit, near the same time, then continued on. I would like the transit department to identify who the driver was and see what the story is on why they did not stop and try to help or identify the owner of the dog, or if I am mistaken and the driver claims it was not them and perhaps maybe they witnessed the event and could provide more details.
Even without the issue of who hit the dog, the bus needs to slow down and not exceed the 20 MPH speed limit. There are lots of kids in this neighborhood, the streets are narrow and the curve at the top of the hill is a blind spot for oncoming traffic. Please address this issue before someone gets hurt or killed.
