A homeowner at 3430 S McDougal St, Bloomington, IN 47403 is regularly parking 3 pickup trucks on their front lawn instead of their driveway. Repeated vehicle traffic has destroyed the grass and created deep ruts and a large mud pit. Mud is being tracked into the roadway and the nearby storm drain. The vehicles also frequently block the sidewalk, requiring pedestrians to walk in the street. Summary of concerns: • Parking on unimproved surface: Multiple pickup trucks are regularly parked on the front lawn instead of a driveway or paved surface. • Sidewalk accessibility concerns: Vehicles regularly drive across the sidewalk to access the lawn parking area. The repeated traffic has created a muddy area on the sidewalk that makes pedestrian passage difficult. I have personally observed pedestrians, including individuals using crutches and wheelchairs, needing to step into the street to get around the area. • Stormwater / drainage concerns: Mud from the yard is being tracked into the street and a storm drain located along the curb. • Sediment entering storm drain: The storm drain and surrounding curb area are frequently covered with mud and sediment. • Potential utility concerns: Repeated vehicle traffic and soil compaction are occurring in an area where underground utilities may be located. • Long-term issue: This situation has been occurring and progressively worsening for approximately five years as vehicles repeatedly park on the lawn and drive across the sidewalk.

Our mailboxes on Bill Mallory Blvd close to SR 446 appear to be over a water line that may have some void space happening. The concrete is settling more than it should! Please let us know how to approach this problem.

This has become a continual issue. With the city no longer picking up leaves, we have several neighbors that rake, blow their leaves into the gutters/curb, large piles even, and when it rains heavy they clog the drains forcing the rain waters to the lowest point and drain in front of my home where it clogs and runs up into my property and halfway up my driveway. One time my wife was up to her shins in water as we have to rake and shovel out the drains on both sides of the road. I have called and had a crew come out to deal with it the time before last night. And last night when I returned home my trash cans were floating in the street. I called around midnight, thought a crew was coming out, but I did not see anyone, so with my bad back I once again took care of it. My recycle cans had been hit by a car, as my neighbors can also appears to been hit. Is there not a way for the city to come out and ask the neighbors to clear the curbs and not blow leaves into the street? One drive out here could easily see where it starts. I have had to bag many leave bags from this, which is at my expense. Please help with this issue.

Last year, we had city crews working on the sidewalk hazards, which were not yet completed (the section of the sidewalk connected to the driveway has sunken, which was not the case before. Each time we drive in or out, the vehicle experiences significant vibrations. A city manager previously visited and advised us that repairs should be completed before winter; however, this was not addressed at the time (I understand everyone has been busy). Since then, the issue has worsened and now requires immediate attention. I would greatly appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Thank you.

I have made multiple complaints about cars parking over the yellow lines at my driving which causes a dangerous hazard when leaving my driveway. Can you please repaint the yellow lines as they have disappeared; this may help relieve the illegal parking problem. Thank you, Elida C. Behar 02/28/2026

Sherwood Oaks neighborhood needs a visit from a street sweeper. There are still many leaves, mostly turned to dirt by now, in all of the curbs. These frequently wash into the road during larger rain events (see Westminster).

Someone could easily fall into that hole and get seriously hurt. Lots of children and elderly in this area, including those with special needs. In the evening the huge hole is invisible.

Was disappointed to see no improvements to the steps on the steep hill when the updates to the roundabout were made. Can we please consider updating these steps sometime? They are all different lengths and angles which makes them difficult, awkward, and dangerous to traverse. Plus, kids cannot ride their bikes down them if they wanted to ride their bike to school. They are not accessible for wheelchair users either.

Like 515 South Woodlawn, this sidewalk has not been shoveled AT ALL. Both these properties are owned by Chickering Rentals.
