While mowing my lawn this week I noticed that someone had come and cut a hole into the cover of our water meter. Is this something the city did? If so, can I have an explanation as to why it was done? My address is 1917 E Arden Drive and my account number is 7011-001. Thank you.
Hi there! I'm a local resident and wanted to ask and was curious about the Bloomington Flag. I saw on Portland Vexiology Association that you were at the idea stage but I have not heard about anything recently and wanted to know if you would update the flag or at least upload the current design already flown as all I can find is pictures of it waving. As I do believe Bloomington is a great place and I think the flag should represent it.
Ancient red bug tree is dropping five inch diameter branches into the street. It's in the city of bloomington's right of way on the corner of Cambridge and Sheffield drive. It's getting to be a hazard any tall truck that drives by limbs fall down on them and when the wind blows.
Branch hanging down scratches car roof. Looks like some work was done on a fire hydrant as the ground around it is dirt and I don't know if equipment hit the branch or what happened but it's hanging down. I tried to pull it down myself but there's no way.
There is a raised sidewalk on Moores Pike between S. Clarizz Blvd. and S. Fenbrook Ln. The sidewalk is raised about 3 feet above street level and there is no rail between the sidewalk and the road. It's dangerous to walk along the sidewalk especially if you're using a stroller.
Treacherous bike riding jn "bike lanes" along Smith Rd. from E 3rd street up to 10th St. There are large sticks, large pieces of trash, grates that could cause tires to cause an accident. Bike lanes are no where near wide enough. You cannot count the 'gutter' area as a bike lane as its unevenness can catch tires and cause wrecks. Also, there must be several inches for a biker to be able to move over when a car comes around him/her dangerously close. You are asking for serious injury and even deaths if bikes are knocked out of the lane into the path of oncoming cars from either direction. I'd like to challenge anyone to try to stay in those dangerous, narrow lanes day in and day out on the commutes to work. If it is the law to allow bikers 3 feet for safety, cars need to see the definite boundaries of that 3 feet. Too many cars have passed me where I could reach out easily and touch the cars. They also pass me dangerously close to returning to their lane as oncoming cars approach.
Trash containers are left by residents and city trash workers on sidewalks. I've run across this issue on Washington St as well as other streets.
This has been like this for over a week. The porch is full of furniture as well.
There are deer that cross Arlington, McNeely St. and also Union Valley Rd. It is dangerous and I think there should be deer crossing signs to alert drivers. People might actually drive the speed limit and look for deer if there were signs posted. I've seen as many as 5-6 deer at a time. Thank you.
Karst farm park - one of the baby swings has somehow been adjusted and is now wonky. I can't use the other this morning due to fresh bird poop. Thank you for starting to address the damaged swingset.
