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 (?)

Ground has been dug up and left unfinished for quite awhile. I’m not sure what is supposed to be happening at the location but there is a big ditch just sitting there. Cones have fallen over. A mess on the other side of the sidewalk also.

The islands of trees surrounded by curbs that are being constructed in the roadways throughout the city. I’m wondering why the city is installing them since they’re already responsible for the death of a deputy sheriff who died from her injuries sustained during a traffic accident in which she was responding with lights and sirens to a call got hit going threw a red light and the ambulance was called but unable to get there for an extended period of time due to the trees and curbs constructed in the roadways throughout the city leaving no room for the ambulance to navigate around pulled over vehicles. I thought that when the city removed the brand new islands that they had constructed that they would find a better speed diversion, or would at least limit the construction of new islands but instead we now have many islands that make it nearly impossible to turn onto certain roads and streets due to the lack of room because of the brick filled curbed islands and trees. It seems ridiculous to me that the people are paying for obstacles in the roadway that make it nearly impossible to drive on the streets in Bloomington. They are wonderful for bicycling and walking however seeing as the city of Bloomington does not enforce no riding bikes on the sidewalks I don’t see much importance in having bicycle lanes in the roads since people on bicycles are allowed to ride their bikes on the sidewalks, which is extremely dangerous in my opinion but I’ve witnessed hundreds of bicyclist on the sidewalks in the downtown district and on Kirkwood, where there are police station within feet of them riding their bikes on the sidewalk and no attempt to stop them has been made.

On Rogers St South of Patterson, the obstruction was on the north bound lane without warning or chaperone. The flagger was stationed at the first roadside flag, the second was behind him amidst the construction area, there was not a third sign as required by law. This scene is after I parked, I got out to record the issue though there were finally people from the site moving the barricade. I have video that offers more information but this scene was incredibly dangerous.

The current construction project on 2nd street is extremely disruptive and causes the building to shake. For necessary/emergency daytime construction this is totally understandable, but the project on 2nd st (between Walnut/Rogers) has been doing construction only from late evening to overnight around 4-5am every day. I have not slept since the construction started a week ago and it is scheduled to continue another full week. Even if there is a permit to be exempt from the noise ordinance, please consider rescheduling this work to take place during daytime hours. As I said, the deeper digging affects the foundation of the building, causing very irritating vibrations that give me headaches and make sleep impossible. It has affected my work life and mental health to miss so much sleep. My window faces the road and this has been an absolute nightmare of a time for me.
