Heading North on Walnut Street, right after you cross 10th Street, first alley on the left/west - there is a massive dip or low point between Walnut Street and the west alley - when you pull in, my car scrapes under the front bumper. May not be an issue for SUV's, but my sedan really notices it, and I have not seen this defect in other repairs on alleys done where they connect with a main street. Thank you!
N/S alley stretching from 11th to 12th that is between and parallel to Grant and Dunn Streets is a jaw-rattling experience. Not a single pothole issue - rather, a candidate for full replacement. This is the same alley that further south is named Harold Street, is between one of the buildings for 800 N. Grant apartments and the 415 E. 11th apartment building, and serves as parking for the latter.
A million potholes between 7th st and kirkwood on grant street
A million potholes between 7th st and kirkwood on grant street.. last report was wrong street. Not Lincoln.
Probably not much can be done about this, but the new parking lot over the recently redone culvert downtown by People's Park has a low spot right where the diagonal path crosses through it. The low spot has been accumulating water after rains, and it seems the grading as it is prevents the water from going anywhere. Likely over time this will facilitate degradation of the pavement, but more importantly at present it creates a little lake that pedestrians and bicycles must travel through, and will probably produce a slick spot there when the temperature drops. Is there any way to have this area looked at and have it redone so that water drains away? Not clear if this is a City issue or not, given the entire lot is owned by IU.
See case #201442 (https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=201442). Given that the fiber optic project is now "on hold" (= bankrupt?), can the City step in and correct some of the damage they caused? They drilled a hole in the SW part of the intersection of Dunn/12th. It is dangerous, since there are no sidewalks on Dunn and lots of people wander through this area at night on their way to and from The Standard" via the RR. Someone is going to get hurt if the hole is not filled soon or an animal might fall in, and since there appears to be a void beneath the street right at this location, a collapse could occur if a heavy vehicle were to drive directly over it.
CBU utility repair project in street several months ago was never completed. Street is now crumbling.
Just a suggestion for the next time any work is planned for Grant Street: At the intersections with both 8th and 9th streets, there are some storm sewer grates alongside the road that are too accessible, in that their design is completely open, with only a single metal bar across the openings. This allows animals and large pieces of trash to flow into the storm sewers. All the other grates in the neighborhood are more enclosed and safer. Might be good to switch these old ones out with ones that are similar to all the others and safer. Even a very small child might be able to fit into a couple of them, because the cross-bar on some of them is bent so much.
During the year, likely due to heavy construction equipment near my house the street to get to parking has become dilapidated. At this point whenever I pull into my driveway, the bottom of my car is hitting the ground and potentially being damaged.
