I’m not sure what this is but it has left a large hole in the sidewalk. It’s off to the side so it doesn’t seem to be directly in the way of most foot traffic, but I figure it’s still a bit of a hazard. It appears to have half of a metal covering in it. It’s right outside the bluebird nightclub and that new Campus Craves place.
To whom it may concern, I am a concerned citizen and tax payer that would like to bring up an issue and question pertaining to the road construction in Bloomington, IN. In particular, my query pertains to the construction drums/barrels that are located on State road 46/45 between North Walnut street and Ellettsville, IN. I would like to know why there has been construction drums/barrels spanning this location for 3-4 weeks now, at least, with no construction working at this location. I drive home every day around 2-3pm and have not once seen construction crew at this location working since the drums went up. There have been crew work on a light down by Kinser/46/45 the last couple of days, but if this is the case i don't see why construction barrels are running to Elletsville. These construction barrels are blocking off a whole lane of traffic causing uneeded delays in travel using one if not the busiest road in Bloomington. I understand there may be scheduling conflicts with getting road crew etc out but to block miles of road with no one working on the road for weeks/months is uncalled for and does nothing but hurt the people that travel the road which consequently are the same people that paid for it. I don't think its unreasonable for an explanation. I don't understand why you would inconvenience people and shut down half the road for miles when quiet literally no one is working on the road. It seems a better solution would be to keep the road free until you are ready to start working on it, then place the drums. I look forward to hearing back on this issue and please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Dustin Headley
Small ones at westbound spea crosswalk and north n Smith right before large apartment complex near 10th
Lip too large for wheelchair on sidewalk in front of frat house at ne corner of seventh and Indiana
Pedestrian buttons for the crossing at the SW corner of Liberty Drive and W Third have been vandalized. I called the County and they tell me that the City is responsible for maintaining those.
There are some growing potholes on Grimes a little bit east of Walnut (east of the gas station). The pot holes have been growing lately and are in the west bound lane.
Small pothole third and Smith nw quadrant
Debris in West side bike lane of n Smith
Big pothole in eastbound lane of traffic on Winslow near the entrance to Grease Monkey. You'll see it - might find a few bicycles in the bottom, too. It is a big one.
The crosswalk sign that goes in the middle of the intersection of 4th & the B-Line was down on the ground off to the north of the road on the sidewalk. As of 3:45pm today.
