Very deep pothole, at least 6". Blew out my front tire.
A homeowner at 3430 S McDougal St, Bloomington, IN 47403 is regularly parking 3 pickup trucks on their front lawn instead of their driveway. Repeated vehicle traffic has destroyed the grass and created deep ruts and a large mud pit. Mud is being tracked into the roadway and into the nearby storm drain. The vehicles also frequently block the sidewalk, requiring pedestrians to walk in the street. The repeated traffic has created a muddy area on the sidewalk that makes pedestrian passage dangerous. Summary of concerns: • Parking on unimproved surface: Multiple pickup trucks are regularly parked on the front lawn instead of a driveway or paved surface. • Sidewalk accessibility concerns: Vehicles regularly drive across the sidewalk to access the lawn parking area. The repeated traffic has created a muddy area on the sidewalk that makes pedestrian passage difficult. I have personally observed pedestrians, including individuals using crutches and wheelchairs, needing to step into the street to get around the area. • Stormwater / drainage concerns: Mud from the yard is being tracked into the street and a storm drain located along the curb. • Sediment entering storm drain: The storm drain and surrounding curb area are frequently covered with mud and sediment. • Potential utility concerns: Repeated vehicle traffic and soil compaction are occurring in an area where underground utilities may be located. • Long-term issue: This situation has been occurring and progressively worsening for approximately five years as vehicles repeatedly park on the lawn and drive across the sidewalk.
Constantly parks blocking sidewalk to stollers and wheelchairs
Near the top of the small hill where Rogers peaks between 2nd and 3rd there are three or four potholes that will pop a tire -- they got really bad, really fast, and they are not just annoying but a danger.
There are a lot of deep pot holes on Sare between Jackson Creek Middle School and Canada Drive. As always, thank you for filling them.
There are a number of big potholes on this block of Rogers St, between 2nd and 3rd street but there are two deep ones nearly side by side so that one cannot avoid both if there is a car on the other side of the road. I fell into the one nearest the sidewalk and thought it had busted my tire, but so far it doesn't appear to be damaged. Please fill these two deep potholes soon, and also look at the others on this stretch of road. Thank you.
The street light at that location is out.
Moved into this location in January and this pothole was already there and seems to have gotten bigger since the heavy snow event. Pothole at the end of the driveway.
street storm drain inlet completely clogged with dirt and other debris. habitat for humanity neighborhood. it seems the drain was covered with something to prevent debris from getting into it during construction. the drain is totally dysfunctional. thank you so much
