This house is abandoned and not secured for several years now. There is no back door and windows are broken out. Graffiti has been spray painted inside the house. No one is maintaining the building even though someone is paying for lawn service now. It has been frequented by teenagers and homeless people. There are probably animals living inside, since there is nothing preventing them from going in.
Should I expect to smell shit all summer. This is ridiculous. Waves of sewer wafting through the air every once in a while, but on a pretty much daily basis.
Resident called in use of a backhoe parked on public sidewalk. They were concerned about damage to the sidewalk. No ROW permit identified related to use.
excessive growth of giant ragweed along the alley
Sewage leaking out of white pipe into the grass area and onto the street
Street light is out near the B-Line on North Adams Street.
The street has deteriorated so there is a large pothole when entering/exiting the entrance to the building at 116 S Madison St, Bloomington. Could you please fill the void in the street?
Tan 4-door sedan has been left on public neighborhood street in same spot for many months, impeding clear access for two-way traffic. Vehicles does not appear to be in use. Most worried about pedestrians walking the neighborhood who are sharing the street with cars.
Poison ivy growing on the south side of the walking path where Fourth Street would be, just east of Jefferson. There's also another bunch of three-leaved vining thing a bit east of there, not sure if it's poison ivy.
Recently, the City has redone the intersections along East Cottage Grove to make the corners ADA-compliant. Unfortunately, the jobs were not completed. The installations of the warning plates are fine, but the street surfaces flanking them are not. The streets are all eaten up with deep, sharp gullies on each side of every installation at each corner of all four streets involved (Washington, Lincoln, Grant, and Dunn) where they cut through the concrete to prepare for the work. Also, the bit of asphalt applied to the corners afterwards was just mounded up and left bumpy and difficult for chairs (and walkers!) to navigate. Right now, all intersections are far more dangerous than they were before the project started, and if left in this condition will only get worse when debris, leaves, snow and ice begin to accumulate, and the rate of street degradation will intensify.
