Pothole
Needs to be filled
This huge break in the road was not properly marked - the cone was well over a foot from the edge - and I hadn't realized how far in it went until it was too late to avoid it. Two of my tires popped, and my car had to be towed. I'd like the city to reimburse me for replacing them, but more importantly, I'd like for them to make sure these holes are properly marked.
Sidewalk was marked toward end of last year but nothing ever happened. Just wondering if anything will be done and what it was
See case #201536 (https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=201536). Apparently, Ms. Hayes has not had the opportunity to follow through with her promise, "I will continue to monitor", because the large, bed-like object remains at the rear (west side) of this property alongside the alley where is has been for at least a year. It has painted on it a cartoon head of a large, white rabbit sporting a bow-tie, accompanied by the words "Phi Tau".
There's no sidewalk here, which means I can't walk - or even bike - my kid to school this way.
We desperately need a crosswalk here. Kids cross here all the time, because it's a convenient place to park and cross, but without a crossing guard we're at the mercy of traffic. And they are not merciful.
Large shrub (bush honeysuckle?) at NE corner of lot has grown so much that it is now difficult to pass using the sidewalk on Cottage Grove. The property owner/manager (sign in yard says "Thatcher Real Estate") never shovels the sidewalk in the winter, but maybe the snow/ice complaints submitted to HAND earlier this year never made it to them. Probably good to be more proactive about this report, since the shrub is not going to just melt on its own like the snows did...
Large tree-of-heaven growing on NE corner of lot alongside the alley and Grant Street, though cited in City ROW. This tree sends out so many seed every year, that properties close by regularly fight new growth. Very easy to see this tree, but best to send a HAND member who has had formal training to identify tree-of-heaven, else it might be missed...
The yard, front and back, is overgrown and badly in need of a lawnmower.
