There is a longstanding and ongoing drainage issue affecting the area in front of 3504 and 3505 S Westminster Way in Bloomington, IN. Every time it rains, significant flooding occurs on our street, making it unsafe for residents to leave their homes and hazardous for vehicles attempting to pass through the area. On previous occasions we cad cases of drivers have become stranded in the large pool of water that forms directly in front of these properties. This persistent flooding presents a serious public safety concern for both residents and motorists. In addition, we are living with the constant fear that continued inadequate drainage may eventually result in flooding damage to our properties. Despite the recurring nature of this problem, the existing street drains have not been properly cleared or improved, and additional drainage infrastructure appears necessary to address the issue effectively. We respectfully request that the City take immediate action to investigate and resolve this matter as soon as possible.
I wanted to report a possible erosion or settlement concern near the city-owned fire hydrant located on my property at 3521 S McDougal St in the Highlands subdivision. During recent rain events, I’ve observed significant standing water and a large, deep depression around the hydrant area. I’m concerned there may be washout, settlement, or another issue affecting the soil surrounding the hydrant or nearby utility infrastructure. I also wanted to note that there are currently two known sinkholes in the neighborhood, including one located approximately one block away from this hydrant, which increased my concern about the possibility of underground erosion or voids in the area. I’ve attached a photo showing the current conditions. I’m not sure whether this falls under Bloomington Utilities or another department, but I wanted to report it in case the hydrant or underlying infrastructure should be inspected.
I reported this before. Nothing has been done. It’s not getting any better on its own. Whoever James Hall is doesn’t seem to follow through on the reported safety issue since he closed the ticket without it being fixed. Perhaps he can try again? Or his boss can follow up so that no one gets hurt. This is a dangerous situation that will not fix itself without oversight.

MONDAY, MAY 18, IT IS POURING RAIN. THERE IS A HANDICAP PARKING SPACE AT THE CORNER OF KIRKWOOD AND WASHINGTON. THE STREET AND THE SIDEWALK ARE FLOODED. THERE IS NO PARKING METER. INSTEAD THERE IS A HARD-TO-READ SIGN ON A POST, DETAILING HOW TO PAY FOR SAID PARKING SPACE. REALLY? HOW IS A HANDICAPPED PERSON EXPECTED TO EXIT A VEHICLE IN POURING RAIN, NAVIGATE A FLOODED STREET AND SIDEWALK, HOLD AN UMBRELLA IN ONE HAND, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY INPUT THE REQUIRED INFORMATION INTO THEIR PHONE? SERIOUSLY? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH EASIER AND SAFER TO USE A PARKING METER. HOW ABOUT INSTALLING A PARKING METER SO HANDICAP FOLKS GOING TO THE BUSKIRK-CHUMLEY THEATRE AREN'T RISKING LIFE AND LIMB JUST SO THE CITY CAN GET A COUPLE OF MORE BUCKS? BETTER YET, WHY NOT MAKE THE HANDICAPPED PARKING SPACES FREE??? I WELCOME A RESPONSE. OF ANY KIND. SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. POSSIBLE? THANKS. WILLY LEDÓN
