Parking Meters and Citations
CORNER OF KIRKWOOD AND WASHINGTON
- Case Date:
- 5/18/2026
MONDAY, MAY 18, IT IS POURING RAIN. THERE IS A HANDICAP PARKING SPACE AT THE CORNER OF KIRKWOOD AND WASHINGTON. THE STREET AND THE SIDEWALK ARE FLOODED. THERE IS NO PARKING METER. INSTEAD THERE IS A HARD-TO-READ SIGN ON A POST, DETAILING HOW TO PAY FOR SAID PARKING SPACE. REALLY? HOW IS A HANDICAPPED PERSON EXPECTED TO EXIT A VEHICLE IN POURING RAIN, NAVIGATE A FLOODED STREET AND SIDEWALK, HOLD AN UMBRELLA IN ONE HAND, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY INPUT THE REQUIRED INFORMATION INTO THEIR PHONE? SERIOUSLY? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH EASIER AND SAFER TO USE A PARKING METER. HOW ABOUT INSTALLING A PARKING METER SO HANDICAP FOLKS GOING TO THE BUSKIRK-CHUMLEY THEATRE AREN'T RISKING LIFE AND LIMB JUST SO THE CITY CAN GET A COUPLE OF MORE BUCKS? BETTER YET, WHY NOT MAKE THE HANDICAPPED PARKING SPACES FREE???
I WELCOME A RESPONSE. OF ANY KIND. SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. POSSIBLE?
THANKS.

On the southeast corner of Sheridan Drive and Hawthorne Drive, the bushes are blocking the entire view of traffic coming east to west on Sheridan, including all pedestrian and bicycle traffic in the multi-use path there. You can't even see cars. You have to be pulled out into the multi-use path to see around. There are 3 bushes that need seriously trimmed or totally removed for cyclist and motorist and pedestrian safety.

Water Utility Problems
3521 S Mcdougal ST

I wanted to report a possible erosion or settlement concern near the city-owned fire hydrant located on my property at 3521 S McDougal St in the Highlands subdivision. During recent rain events, I’ve observed significant standing water and a large, deep depression around the hydrant area. I’m concerned there may be washout, settlement, or another issue affecting the soil surrounding the hydrant or nearby utility infrastructure.
I also wanted to note that there are currently two known sinkholes in the neighborhood, including one located approximately one block away from this hydrant, which increased my concern about the possibility of underground erosion or voids in the area.
I’ve attached a photo showing the current conditions. I’m not sure whether this falls under Bloomington Utilities or another department, but I wanted to report it in case the hydrant or underlying infrastructure should be inspected.
