Large pot hole in alley next to 414 S Henderson street. It is the alley that runs North to South. I have pictures of other potholes in the area as well that I couldn't attach. Please contact me for additional photos.
There are a number of potholes that need to be filled in this spot. It doesn't just need a few to be filled, but needs to be completely paved over for this stretch of potholes. Because there are so many potholes, when the spot fills with rain it's impossible to spot hazards and creates hydroplaning.
pot hole at 710 S. ParkRidge Rd.
Long gap-like pothole in the middle of the street. Dangerous for bicycle traffic.
Pothole in middle of road between 914 and 915.
There is a dead squirrel on the sidewalk in front of 107 E. Vermilya Drive. It’s on the west side of the driveway on the grass strip between the sidewalk and street near the base of the tree. Thanks
When making a right turn into Winslow Sports Complex from South Highland Avenue, there is a large fir tree right on the corner. This tree blocks any view of pedestrians or bikers on the sidewalk directly behind the tree. This is a problem mainly for turning right rather than turning left into the area. I have personally had several incidents where we are turning into the area from the road and have had to stop unexpectedly to allow pedestrians to walk by. Although there is a small "caution" sign post there, it seems inadequate and unsafe regardless. My proposal is to cut down this large fir tree in order to create a safer environment for both drivers and pedestrians at this well-frequented corner.
There is a huge grassy plot of land next to Sherwood Oaks Park that has gone seemingly unused for years. It would be great if this expanse of land could be used to create a dog park. There are many dog owners in the Bloomington community that frequent Sherwood Oaks Park, and adding a simple dog park there would give this unused plot of land some purpose and revitalize the park as a whole. This grassy expanse is located alongside the Jackson Creek Trail, a long sidewalk that many dog owners use, myself included. Having the dog park located here would be highly accessible, useful, and convenient. As you may already know, there is already a dog park in Bloomington called Ferguson Dog Park; however, it is in a secluded location and quite far off from local neighborhoods. Commuting there and back is a hassle, and I'm sure many other Bloomington dog owners would agree. This proposed dog park wouldn't have to be fancy. I suggest 2-3 separate fenced-in areas (each area suits different dog sizes/mannerisms) as well as a shaded picnic/sitting area. A dog wash station would be ideal, but not necessary. These suggestions are based off of the design of Ferguson Dog Park, so Ferguson can definitely be consulted for ideas during the creation of this proposed Sherwood Oaks dog park. In the picture above, the dotted lines represent a rough idea for the fencing that would separate the dog park into the 3 areas.
Water is out at 3000 E Daniel st. Near Hyde park.
Street lights out from Davis st to Patterson. They have been out for a few days. Due to foot traffic between homeless shelter and community kitchen, these lights are important for safety reasons.
