All streetlights are out on S Washington St. from E Third St. to at least E Smith. It is very dark and worrisome at night; there is very low visibility when I walk home. One of the posts has electrical wiring coming out of it. Many streetlight posts show damage. I first brought this issue up with Duke Energy and they said the City of Bloomington maintains this stretch of lights.
There is a very strong sewer smell around the Broadview Learning Center building and the Broadview Park. The smell has gotten into the building, but definitely is originating from outside.
Traffic backups on 17th have been really bad recently. The backups start from College/Walnut in both directions. Westbound traffic is sometimes backed up to somewhere between Lincoln & Dunn, and eastbound traffic is sometimes backed up to somewhere between Madison & Maple. This occurs at various times per day, not just at rush hour. Last night at 7:45pm it took me ~10 minutes to get from Grant to College. It also causes problems for drivers turning from College/Walnut onto 17th because the traffic already on 17th St has it gridlocked between College & Walnut. I don't know what has happened recently with construction, detours, light syncing, etc., but it's really bad and wasn't like this last school year.
1200 w Allen st across from hilltop village apt . On the Northside of Allen st the tree climbs are hanging out in the street box trucks are hitting the climbs and are going to damage trucks. And a long were the brown fence is it looks like a jungle. Students walk there dogs there and a lot of them walk them along the street because they do not want to walk Thur there. I see every day and evening some rough looking people hangout in there . There is no lighting along there a good place to get jumped and robbed or worst. It needs to be cleaned up .
Trash (cans and can containers) in the alley between North Grant and Lincoln Street - behind the a green duplex. Tenants not taking their cans recycle containers to the street to be picked up. Unsure of landlord to notify but continues to be a recurring issue.
Multiple trees need trimmed back from street, also from sidewalk you have to duck or move off sidewalk to get around them
A collapsed metal drainage culvert is a risk of injury to people and animals walking on the north side of E Morningside near N Smith Road. A 7 inch wide hole in the pavement above the east end of the 60 year old metal culvert is becoming larger. A similar culvert collapse near the west end of this culvert was partially repaired in recent years. Best practice may be to replace the decayed metal with plastic or other durable material.
