I'm hoping this is the right place for this comment. I have a complaint about the Taste of Bloomington...if this isn't the right place, please tell me. anyway, the problem stems from the public hand washing stations located by the Port A Jons. I used the restroom, walked over to one of the stations to wash my hands. Soaped my hands up and proceeeded to wash the soap off. There was no water. At none of the stations...I was stuck with soap all over my hands. I had nothing to wipe my hands on except my shirt. which then left an ugly and embarrassing design. I was not happy. And later on, when I bought more food, (a Jankos ribeye sandwich), it tasted like soap. Not pleasant. If you're going to have a hand washing station, either make sure there's an ample supply of water, or use straight hand sanitizer that requires no water.

The signage for the intersection of Arbutus and Atwater is damaged. The sign on the top of the pole is bent and turned and looks like it is about ready to fall off.

George Saliday told me I had to move from 'his' city owned sidewalk as me standing and speaking with one other person on said sidewalk was 'causing a hazard'. I would like an explanation as to the city law or rule prohibiting persons from conversing in a stationary manner while on a city sidewalk. I would also like to understand why a non law enforcement public employee is enforcing directives of the public and why he was wearing no identification. Thank you.

Public spaces, be they roundabouts, street corners, boulevard medians or just the grassy strips along sidewalks are regularly cluttered with signs for events and services. What are the rules about these things? I suppose there is a spectrum of acceptability, ranging from school performances to community theater to summer camps, but more and more often I am seeing them being used to advertise businesses. In the attached photo you will see that there are signs on the Moores Pike traffic circle for the C3 bar in Renwick. Earlier this year the south side of town, and I imagine elsewhere, was awash in signs for some transient snake oil salesman. I would like to know what the law allows and why there is no enforcement. I think signs for a bar really cross the line. Thank you, Bob Flynn 1917 E Arden Drive

Hello I wanted to report an overflowing spent oil container located in the alley behind the village deli. I've witnessed several people slip and fall and the "oil trail" extends the length of the alley, out onto Grant Street down past kirkwood. In addition the smell is unbearable. Thank you.

Just wanted to thank you for a job well done. I am an avid walker and my route frequently takes me by the north end of Southeast Park. For quite some time, the sidewalk running along the north side of the tennis courts near Moores Pike has frequently been covered with water and mud, becoming a nuisance for walkers, joggers, dog owners, cyclists and even tennis players. Recently the city trimmed the trees back, regraded the slope and created a drainage channel. I am happy to report that even during this wet summer, the fix seems to be working and so far the sidewalk has remained clear and passable. Many thanks! btw, compliments to park staff as well for the fine job they do of keeping the doggie waste bags well-stocked, and the timely job they do of emptying trash receptacles. Dog owners and non-owners alike appreciate it.

I wasn't sure where to submit this complaint, but many tenants of the apartment complex town and country apartments, on Kingston drive in Bloomington are very unhappy with how everything is being run, and feel that financially they are being robbed. The property manager is not properly taking care of the five properties in Bloomington that he is supposed to and unfairly and unjustly charging outrageous amounts to tenants who are working hard to pay rent. For instance, I have a lease stating that my rent is $678 a month for a two bedroom. The property manager is now stating I owe $750 a month and an extra $300-400 on a damage deposit. There are problems with mold, and asking for repairs takes time, as he only has one man to repair any damages, leaks or other problems for all five properties. I was asked by many other tenants to help write a statement to anyone who would listen. He has turned a once great property into a now section 8 apartment complex, with all the cash paying tenants being overcharged. Please help with this situation, as many of us are locked into a lease, and not sure where to turn. Thank you so much for your time... . Sincerely, . Lisa Ann Kinder
