Drainage pipes that run under the railroad tracks are blocked up again. I cleared as much as I could from the inflows but I can see more material lodged inside. Hope we can get a grate installed at some point to prevent future blockages. Opposite the B-Line trail at lamppost 157. Thanks!
There are two pipes that run under the railroad tracks, opposite the B-Line trail at lamppost 157, that are part of the stormwater drainage system for the surrounding neighborhoods. They both appear to be almost completely blocked up, effectively creating a stagnant pond on the north side of the tracks. I tried clearing debris from around the mouth with a rake, but I believe the blockages are deeper inside the pipes. It would be good if this could get cleaned out before mosquito breeding season begins. It might also be a good idea to install a grate to prevent larger debris from getting lodged inside these pipes in the future. Thanks!
Overflowing sanitary sewer draining directly into storm sewer system with direct route to lake Griffy.
The 4th Street alleyway behind Chipotle on Kirkwood is flooded into the parking lots due to clogged storm drains.
Many storm drains and curbs look like this in neighborhood after winter going into weekend of massive rain. The no leaf collection is a fine idea, but there needs to be follow-up street sweeping or repercussions for people who don’t clear their curbs and drains.

The city of Bloomington Winslow Woods property behind my home has a culvert that is completely obstructed by downed trees. When it rains, the storm drainage from Azalea Lane runs into this intermittent creek in the woods and through the culverts. When the water cannot get through the culverts, it starts to flood our backyards. Because of additional downed trees before the culverts silt and clay has started to accumulate and further block water flow. I have requested in the past that the city take care of the trees on their property and the storm drainage flow from Azalea Lane. I could also see a removal of the culverts as there is no reason they are there.
I am the HOA Board president for Windermere Woods. I have received comments regarding holes that were dug in the common area between the lower portion of Windermere Woods Drive and College Mall Rd. I honestly don’t know if it’s a sewer issue or something left from the installation of fiber optic lines. I’m starting with sewers due to the location of the holes. There are two storm sewer grates along the east side of WW Dr by CMR. If you go about 10 feet directly east of the grates, you’ll see the holes. Both are about 12-18” deep and I’m concerned someone may step into one and be injured. I’m happy to meet someone and show them the two spots. If it’s not a COB issue, I’ll reach out to the fiber optic people. Thanks.
Broken sewer line. Been uncovered for several weeks. Outside building 9 near fire lane
