A year has passed since I wrote this (closed case #188144): 'The orange barriers along the sidewalk on S High Street between Wimbleton and E Meadowbluff Ct still have not been removed and remain a big eyesore. I was told that Duke Energy needs to do something there before they can be removed. I bet it has been 2 years now that those barriers have been there. Isn't it time that Duke did what they need to do in order for them to be removed?! The, by now faded, barriers are still there a year later. When will this eyesore disappear?

In Spring/Summer 2023, utilities contractors excavated a hole approximately 3x3 in the sidewalk that crosses the driveway for our home located at 3702 E Reed Ct. Bloomington IN. They were installing fiber optic or another cable -- AT&T or GigaBit or some other contractor. This hole was filled with dirt and then they "fitted the broken concrete pieces" back in the hole. Needless to say, it sank about 4". Then they poured concrete on top of the hole. They then ground down the edges to even out their work. It was a poor job and it is now unsightly and a serious tripping hazard. I've seen city workers replacing sections of sidewalks in Hyde Park and elsewhere. I would like to request that this section of sidewalk be added to the list of sidewalk repairs/replacements. Please let me know if you need additional details. Thank you for addressing this issue.

Unsafe curb damage, north edge of Kirkwood between College and Walnut, dead center, opposite the south steps to the Courthouse. This is a trip/stumble hazard, which I know because I fell on my face there at about 4:15pm on 5/1/25. There is other curb damage along the same edge, and I believe the cutout around the lamp post is also a hazard. If anything still hurts in the morning, I will get medical attention.

I am a driver for MCCSC. I currently drive route #114. I drive every school day through and past the intersection Walnut Pike and Fairfax Road. I have always noticed an extremely hazardous drainage embankment on the west side of Walnut Pike at this intersection. I have often thought how careful I must be so my bus does not come too close to this embankment for fear of the bus falling on its side especially under icy or slippery conditions. With or without students this would be a disaster. Yesterday, October 15, I actually witnessed an accident of one car falling into this drainage embankment and flipping on its side which prompted me to write in. I am the driver who radioed the accident into MCCSC transportation base immediately after it occurred. Please adjust this severe ditch so no more accidents occur.

There is a very uneven sidewalk just to the east of our offices (Bloom Magazine -- 414 W. 6th street). The uneven portion is in front of the Applegate Building. Several of our staff members and guests have taken bad falls there; someone fell again today really hurting themselves. Can you please check into this and report back as to when it might be fixed? If needed, we'll put your Legal Department on formal notice of this hazard. One day someone is going to crack their head open at that spot -- it really needs to be repaired as there is a fair amount of traffic on this sidewalk. Thanks.

My mother is elderly (86) and lives at 510 W. Dodds St. There used to be an ornamental tree in front of her house in the treeplot. It was removed a couple of years ago and now a tag has been put in the treeplot indicating it is for a tree to be planted. Could we PLEASE request a tree that doesn't have crabapples or berries? It is not possible for her to clean up the messes on the sidewalk and she has to pay someone to do it for her. I'm not sure if I got the right place. If not let me know and I'll direct my inquiry to the proper office. Thank you.

The school crossing just south of Childs Elementary has not been re-painted since they did the roadwork. Please have someone look into this before a child gets hurt. Thank you.

The east side of the street in front of 105 S. Hillsdale Dr, Bloomington, IN 47408 has eroded and created a deep rut that makes parking almost impossible and creates potential damage to vehicles. The west side of the street has been repaved but this area needs to be repaved as well for safe parking. The rut needs to be filled in as it is very easy for a tire to get wedged in.
