Large branch came down in wind yesterday. We pulled it out of the street, and now it is on the Northwest corner of W 7th and Maple.

Excessive sand and dirt build up in the street in front of my house and my neighbors on both sides. Street sweeper machines aren't strong enough to pick it all up, watched them drive right over this stuff with no effect last spring. So you need to send some guys with shovels to manually scrape this stuff up. Weeds keep growing in the street, looks terrible. I do my best to weed eat but its literally in the road(the city's responsibility)!
Yard is full of debris.
Several vehicles parked in the yard. tons of trash and automotive parts. It looks like they are running a car repair shop in the yard. They live in an RV parked in the back. This has been going on for months. I know the city has received several complaints and are doing nothing about it. This whole scene is devaluing the properties in the neighborhood. What if this was happening next to the Mayors house? Extremely upset that this is still going on!
Could we please have a street sweeper run at the intersection of W 12th and N Oolitic. This is brand new blacktop after all.
Homeless people are again living in People’s Park. They’re using drugs, fighting, leaving trash everywhere, screaming and yelling, urinating and defecating and have taken over most of the benches and tables. It also appears that they are sleeping there overnight. We bought ice cream across the street and expected to have a nice Sunday afternoon in the park for thirty minutes or so… we tried sitting on the steps of a business on the opposite side of Dunn Street but the shrubbery nearby was probably soaked in urine based on the stench. We simply left at that point….. No other Indiana city of the same size and population has a homeless population of 1 % of that of Bloomington and that is directly attributable to the fact that Bloomington attracts these people by virtue of feeding them and enabling them unlike anywhere else in Indiana. I’ve lived in and near Bloomington since 1974 and this has simply gotten totally out of hand.
Bunch of junk at the rental
A gust of wind ripped away a tree limb on the red maple in front of my house and was blocking the sidewalk. I contacted the urban forester and left a message describing this situation, but didn't get a response. Eventually my housemates and I brought the limb down ourselves, but it still needs to be removed from the side of the road. Most of the debris has already been cleared except for the limb. We have enough firewood. Please remove the limb from the side of the road, thanks.
Broken auto glass on road at intersection of Old State Road 37 and North Dunn.
Fecal matter on sidewalk outside of Pitaya.
