There has been a "road construction ahead" sign and this yard for probably 6 months or so and this is the yard of an older guy who likes to maintain his lawn and I think it bums him out to have this sing in his yard for so long with no actual road construction taking place. He keeps moving it to mow around it and then dragging it back and I feel bad for him.
Hello- There were street crew south of here earlier this morning and when I got home this evening there's a cable down from a pole and it is across my driveway and in my yard. It looks like a communication line, but I'd rather not mess with it. thanks
There is a large amount of sand and gravel at the base of Olive St, where it meets Hillside (1200 E Hillside). It is a danger for cyclists.
We tried to help with all the extra gravel that the street sweeper couldn't reach a few weeks ago. There is still a lot of gravel to sweep up before the street is repaved. Please see if the street sweeper can please help clear this area. Thank you.
Please see if the street sweeper can clean up all the gravel and debris in the southeast corner of the intersection. It's supposed to be for bikes to use and get to the beacon to press the button but there is tons of dirt and gravel that have washed down and make it hazardous for cyclists. It's also a mess to walk through if you are on foot. Thank you!
There were workers outside of here earlier, from around 6-7:30pm, and now the water comes out of my faucets at a slow trickle.
Since the construction was completed to add the pedestrian crossing at E Hillside and S Olive, there has been a pile of gravel still sitting in the corner of the intersection that has now spread out and covering the whole street corner. Each time it rains, more gravel and sand are washed into the storm drain. Can this please be cleaned up? If you are on your bike, it's a gravel patch and you slide or skid making it sketchy. If you're walking and it's rained, it sticks to your shoes and is a mess. There's lovely new asphalt under there so it would be nice to use it. Thank you!
The storm sewer grate at the end of Olive St where it intersects with Hillside Dr is installed so that the holes are parallel to the direction of travel, and thus bicycle wheels can fall into them. Best practices for safe infrastructure should install them facing the other direction.
Several weeks ago the new fiber cables were buried along E Hillside Dr. I was working from home when one of the workers knocked on the door and asked if I had water. I did, and so did the neighbors. The worker said he ran into water, but if we all had service, then he wasn’t going to worry about it. I didn’t think anything of it. Now, we have noticed there is water coming up out of a spot along the sidewalk. I realize the picture is not really telling you much, but it’s like a small mud pit and water is coming up out the ground there. This is within the 10’ strip that the City of Bloomington owns along this section of Hillside.
this streetlight cuts on/off every few seconds.
