As a result of AT&Ts recent fiber optics installation, there are two large sink wholes next to the sidewalk between my address and my neighbors house. I called Austin Voorheis who did the installation for AT&T, but he has not come to fill in the openings. Photo's attached. This is really dangerous.
Construction crews for the convention center are regularly blocking the drive to 335 S. College.
Previous city project. Soil washing away under sidewalk
Soil washing away under side walk. I have reported this area before and it seems to be getting worse. Is there a plan?Thank you for your time. Kaye Beavers, Peppergrass landscape director
Recently we have had sewer problems at 1901 S. Rogers Street Bloomington. Upon digging up the main line we found what appears to be a fiber optic line that severed our main sewer line when contractors were working recently. Could we please find out the contractors that had ROW or who to contact. We are a no profit agency and do not have the budget for this costly repair. Thank you.
The placement of this sign narrows the sidewalk way down here between the utility box and the street lamp pole. The narrowing in proximity to the handicapped ramp should be of concern. thanks!
When paving projects done by old hospital
The new bicycle storage cubes are not benefiting residents and are creating two significant problems: Immediate Safety Hazard: The cubes are an attractive nuisance and severe fall risk to children. Preschoolers have been observed climbing and jumping on the units. This confirms the greater community need is a safe play area, not this storage solution. Unauthorized Misuse: The units are already being used as personal storage by non-residents (unhoused), leading to increased and unwelcome traffic into the residential courtyard. The project failed to consult residents on community needs. I request immediate action to address the safety hazard and restrict unauthorized access to these units.
Big hole in ROW around water meter. Very close to main gas line running under sidewalk, but the utilities have not been marked. Seems like there is a State law requiring diggers to contact 811 to locate. https://indiana811.org/resources/full-law/
An old house was demolished on Friday 7 Nov. It had been clad in cement tiles, likely asbestos-containing transite. It appears that there was no attempt to isolate the hazardous waste from the bulk, so is it now all classified as hazardous? If so, is the contractor required by the State to dispose of the mass of waste resulting from the demolition in a special way, or perhaps into a designated landfill that accepts such waste? Attached is a picture of tiles that were left strewn about on the alley (a public thoroughfare) after the demolishers drove away. In the days since, people and/or animals have been stepping on the tiles and crushing them, possibly releasing friable asbestos fibers. There is a dog living immediately across the alley from this now toxic site. Is it unsafe for the dog to walk on the ground in this area? Or does the City even care about such things? Maybe it would it be better to just look the other way and let the people with money do whatever they please (?)
