Too many potholes to count on Fountain drive after you cross the railroad tracks heading north.

Hello, My name is Ashley Walden, and I am contacting you today due to various potholes around the city. I live on the west side of Bloomington, and work on East 3rd street. The number of potholes I encounter on my daily drive to work has grown in number and severity. The patches on the road near Twin Lakes have sunken to an extent that I see drivers swerving left into another lane to avoid their suspension being further tormented from the continual deterioration of road conditions in Bloomington. Please take into consideration replacing, not just patching, areas in Bloomington.
Street sign on SW corner of 7th / Grant is leaning. Looks like it was hit by a construction vehicle working at former Poplars property.
The business at 114 E 6th St consistently has the alley at the side of their business blocked with trash cans and boxes.
Lots of potholes from S Jackson St -4th St intersection all the way east to the Rogers St - 4th St intersection
The stoplight at 6th & Walnut is out of sequence for the flow of traffic on Walnut.
Urgent Complaint Regarding Road Conditions at Tulip Tree Apartments Dear manager, I am writing to formally raise a complaint about the poor road conditions at Tulip Tree Apartments, particularly the section of the road immediately after exiting the parking lot. As a resident, I have noticed that turning east from the parking lot has become increasingly difficult due to the uneven and damaged road surface. Since moving to Tulip Tree this academic year, I have experienced recurring issues with my car’s wheel alignment. In November of last year, I had to get a four-wheel alignment, and again in March of this year—both times due to a fault in the front right wheel’s toe angle. This issue never occurred during my previous residency at Campus View, but since living at Tulip Tree, I have had to perform two alignments in just a few months to prevent uneven tire wear and avoid further damage. Given that I frequently turn east when exiting the parking lot, my front right wheel has been subjected to excessive strain due to the poor road conditions. I understand that driving slowly over rough roads can help minimize vehicle damage. However, the actual road conditions make it nearly impossible to pass through slowly. Vehicles traveling westbound are affected by the angle of the road, making it difficult for me to accurately judge distances. As a result, I am often forced to accelerate quickly when I see an opening, further exacerbating the stress on my vehicle’s suspension and alignment. Indiana University has been actively repairing roads across campus, yet the roads around Tulip Tree remain in a severely deteriorated state. While I cannot directly prove that the road conditions are the sole cause of my vehicle’s alignment issues, the correlation is evident—especially considering that I had no such issues during my time at Campus View. The need for multiple alignments in such a short period is highly unusual and costly. I strongly urge the management to address this issue and take immediate action to repair the road. This is not just a financial concern for residents facing repeated maintenance costs but also a significant safety issue. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your response regarding any planned repairs. Best regards, Sherlock
So many potholes that need immediate repairs. The road needs resurfacing…it is so bad. Please help put my hard earned tax dollars to work. Thanks
Huge deep pothole 12+ inches deep near crosswalk
Every year the snow guy for Happy Hollow comes and tears up our neighborhood. Should I clean this up? I’ve complained about him before when he tore up my driveway and this year I get this? My neighbor had a very large patch of yard torn up last year. We’ve asked him not to get so close to the edge and I feel like now it’s simply on purpose… not thrilled with the individual.
