Has been sitting for over 3 months. Tags expired 3 years ago. Property is doing nothing, has been reported 4 times. Animals are breeding in it. Other residents have said it’s been sitting for a couple years now.
Mike Baye called into Risk and informed me, Jazmyn Forte Plunkett, that his whole street was recently repaved by the Street Department. He's noticed that water is not draining from the street properly. He explained that there was a crest and it's too high and water is accumulating near his neighbor's mailbox. His neighbor is a 70 year old woman, and he's worried that if the water freezes over, she could hurt herself. Attached are photos he sent over to me of the concern.
To Whom it May Concern, I am an IU Student living in Jackson Heights. I choose to take the bus 2-3 times a day to get to my classes, in an effort to be environmentally conscious. The nearest bus stop is on 17th street past the gas station. There isn't any crosswalk/crosswalk lights on any side of the corner I have indicated. This puts myself, as well as any other pedestrian, at risk of being seriously injured. I've been in Bloomington since August and have, thankfully, avoided getting into any incident. However, I have just heard from my roommate, that she almost got hit by a car, as the driver wasn't paying attention and it's tricky for a pedestrian to decide when to cross when there aren't any indications to do so. I am really hoping a solution can be reached. I'd also appreciate any feedback on any way I can assist to help avoid a tragic situation. Thank you for your time, Yasmine El-Gohary
A tree has fallen across the bike path along Sare Road south of the intersection with Olcott. It requires one to dismount your bike, lift the bike over the tree, and remount. This tree has been there for over a month.
The bushes are overgrown and cover the sidewalk. It is hard to walk on the sidewalk without hitting ones head on the bushes.
There appears to be sewage coming up onto the street. It has been this way for about a week or so. It often smells bad when walking by and it looks like solid human waste as well as toilet paper is on the street. There was construction done on this part of the street sometime in the past month. This morning I noticed new, what I think is sewage, on in this area, mixed with the old waste that has been there for a few weeks. The odor was strong again today.
Street light at corner of Regents Ct. and Regents Cir is out.
Large pothole in the road right outside Best Buy Parking lot
Tree fell across sidewalk north side of Canada just west of nursing home
