When the curb between the bike lane and car lane was reconstructed gaps were left in the pavement. Generally the pavement repair was not done to the standard usually expected of Bloomington roads.
On the south side of Allen St, between Walnut and Washington, someone cut a hole in the street and filled it with small rocks that are just spreading everywhere. They also upended the adjacent sidewalk panel and tried to just lay it back down again. Maybe the fiber company?
Fiberoptic installation crew left an unfilled foot-sized hole in the alleyway between 415 & 419 E.1st Street just adjacent to the sidewalk.
Large potholes have been created in the Alleyway going east to west as well as right behind my garage. Issue is due to subterranean digging by fiber optics company, as well as previous digging by gas company.
Picture is on property of 206 s Fairview and looking east. Huge hole. Unclear if sinkhole as area of old quarry or if recent digging for fiber optic contributing. Hole is about 1 ft across and about 2 foot wide. It caverns under the road slightly and appears to go deeper under the property on 206. Since there is no side walk, people often walk on the grass in that exact area. I walk this way often and first time seeing it this evening.
There a deep pothole next to the north crosswalk near the westside Bloomingfoods--about a dozen feet from the Bfoods--a real ankle breaker. It seems like the Gigabit now crew drilled the hole, covered it, but the cover has come off. I already heard someone in Bloomingfoods complaining loudly that he had twisted his ankle falling into the hole. Someone placed a milk crate over it, but it is in Madison St, so that might cause an accident. THis is dangerous and needs attention soon. Thanks!
Large (maybe 5' by 3') hole in the street was recently filled with asphalt, but the new asphalt lies below the level of the road at the edge of the hole. The bump is quite harsh to drive over
A citizen called in and explained that a curb in this area caused damage to their tire and has caused damage to others. She wanted to make sure it was reported. She said it was near the first speed bump on Morningside, right off Smith Road. She's already been informed of how to file a tort claim for the incident.
Part tectonic plate, part aircraft carrier bulkhead--Houston, we have a problem. It would seem that some utility repair of another has resulted in a steel plate the thickness of a very hefty mozzarella stick, length and width that could probably park a Smart Car, in the middle of the road. I suspect this formidable obstacle is the result of whatever adventure IU tasked itself with over winter break, as I observed their vehicles there, but that's not to say I'm 100% positive. Either way, the impact of this scrapper's dream was presumably originally mitigated with the pouring of some cold patch concrete around the edges, but alas, much has changed since. Tire impact after tire impact has slowly moved this plate, rendering the cold patch mostly useless. As steam billows out from around the edges, I imagine whatever was being fixed is still in the process of being fixed. But at the moment, it's like witnessing suspension-damaging continental drift. Aside from mounting this hulking piece of metal in a museum as a replicated piece of the Titanic's hull, creating a more subtle transition from pavement to metal would very much be appreciated. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
Center point gas repair patch needs looked at. 3 of them
