The city is digging in the drainage ditch on my property again. They do this from time to time without reason. No one contacts me EVER to say hey we are gonna mess up your yard. I pay someone to trim this area of my yard and after they dig they leave it uneven and hard for someone to take care of. Last time they left a CBU sign up for 4 months and then came back after I called to complain and removed the sign and spread grass seed and straw. It makes my property look like shit.

The tree inside the large dog park has a large diameter dip around the base of it. This dip is constantly filled with very rank smelling water and I along with all other dog owners have discussed how unhappy we are that we must bathe our dogs anytime we take them to get exercise. My dog needs consistent exercise and the best way to do this is at the dog park, but constant bathing can cause skin to dry out. At one point, the city had placed a temporary barrier around it so I believed there was hope for a solution, but since then the barrier has been taken down.

I biked downtown this afternoon for a trip to the public library. Upon arrival I discovered that every space in the bike racks surrounding the library were taken by Veo scooters. Attempting to move a scooter to park my bike was extremely difficult, as the scooter wheels immediately locked up, and scooters are simply to heavy to lift and move. Allowing a private scooter company to completely monopolize all available bike parking around the public library is not acceptable. Why is this allowed? Could the rules around scooters in the city be reviewed and this specific issue addressed? To clarify, I don't believe users had parked the scooters here. It seems as if they were deployed and staged in these spots. Thank you.

What's the deal with the city taking down two trees at this address? You have been working a couple hours on ONE tree since LAST week. You have more guys standing around than working! They show up at 7 AM with three or four vehicles stand around awhile, work for and hour or so then leave! This protracted pace is interfering with other work being done in the neighborhood. A professional service (Fowler) would have had both trees down and cleaned up in ONE DAY! What gives Bloomington? Time to start hiring out this work and end this seemingly wasteful government service? Thanks, Roger

I tried to use this area to have a quick meeting with colleagues before going to an appointment at a business on the square. This area was unavailable due to the mess. Balloons, needles, beverage cans, etc. (The yoga mat is mine.) Further, these benches are damaged and appear to be unmaintained. I then moved to the corner of the square where no needles were visible. There I was immediately solicited by panhandlers twice. All of this is unacceptable and I hope to see these areas cleaned and maintained on a proper schedule. The frequency with which I am required to defend myself physically against panhandlers here is becoming unbearable. It is unsafe to be downtown in Bloomington, Indiana.

It would be cool if our area didn’t lose power as much. But with as much as the traffic lights here go out you’d think y’all could get a battery or somethin

Submitted a report but didn't show up in the system? Someone is going to die, likely multiple, if changes aren't made to Smith and 3rd. New 3rd by the State is great but has caused something to change with the Smith traffic. Left turners are hesitating backing up traffic (no big deal) but they are hesitating because cars behind them are zipping around going straight while folks are trying to wait and turn. Meaning the folks can't turn safely, and when they do POW crashes like tonight at 7 pm happen. Please do a traffic study and coordinate with the State for immediate safety improvement. Please do not punt this to the State, but be involved, as Bloomingtonions are going to die; forget traffic, this is about safety. Ideally there needs to be a left turn green arrow only and then a straight signal but that may need lanes. So I don't know the solution, but cars zipping around hitting left turners, etc. is NOT sustainble.

100 W 6th St, the double yellow lines have been faded causing some drivers thinking it’s a one way street or not being in the correct lane causing some traffic issues. Please address before IU students come back.

There is a City bus stop shelter just north of Thorton Drive on Henderson (across the street from Black Lumber). The last few evenings, it looks like someone is staying in there overnight. Is this allowed? Also, there is a lot of trash in the area. Can the city clean this up and monitor the area for illicit activity?

Basketball courts and skatepark are both packed at the new Switchyard Park. Are the state mandated guidelines being enforced here?
