Hello: I am not certain to whom I should report this problem. One of my neighbors (502 Jordan) has a shrub of poison ivy growing in the front yard. The poison ivy shrub is located in front of the house on the southeast corner of the property. Could you please ask the person who owns the house to get rid of this noxious plant? Thank you, Lynn Greenfield

I have had an ongoing problem with a neighbors cat(s). I am severely allergic and have told them this repeatedly, contacted Animal Control, the officer had actually left a cage several times at my home only to catch other critters and never the cat. I have taken pictures over the couple of years documenting. He walks his cat(s) and laughs when I repeatedly ask him to keep the cat off of my property. I am not able to open my garage door because the cat tries to get in. I should not have to deal with cat hair, cat waste, on my property. Officer Eubanks is the one that has helped me for two years. I left a message for her recently asking her what my next step is. Haven't heard anything. What can you do to help me. This is a huge medical issue for me and I need to know who is going to assist.
Smith and Morningside, thank you for painting a bit in the area but never did crosswalks there. Super important at intersection as kids cross, is bike path both ways, etc. Said would this summer in prior report so wanted to make sure the crosswalk painting wasn't going to be forgotten since painted other stuff in area but not them. Thank you
If possible, could we please contact South Bloomington HS about their loudspeakers? I realize that nearby neighborhoods are subject to some noise, but I can hear every word of the announcer. This has been an issue for years, but a friend of mine complained just texted me about it, having recently moved into the Spicewood neighborhood. I find it extreme that a house 2.2 miles away can still hear the game. Please, I highly support public education, but I hate hearing every detail of the football game while trying to enjoy my Friday night (or for that matter, Saturday afternoon while trying to work).
Hi, I graduated from Bloomington South in 1999 and lived a mile away from the school throughout the 80's and 90's. I never heard the football announcements from home during that time, so I am shocked to discover how loud they are now, now that I have moved back to the South Side and away from the noisy student rental area near campus. I can hear the football announcements clearly from Bryan Park, from my house in Sycamore Knolls, and from a friend's house in Spicewood, 1.6 miles away from the football field as the crow flies. A friend of mine who lives on Sweetbriar is completely miserable from all this noise. There is no reason the announcements and music need to be so loud, and it is clearly a violation of city noise ordinances, especially after 9pm on Friday nights. More importantly, why does Bloomington South want to destroy the hearing of all their football players and fans? Is there anything that can be done to plead with the school to be more reasonable? 14.09.030 - Noises prohibited. (c)(4) It shall be a violation of this chapter to play, use, operate or allow to be played, used, or operated any radio, television, digital media player, loudspeaker, sound amplifier, musical instrument, or any other machine or device for producing or reproducing sound in such a manner that the sound produced persists continuously or intermittently for a period of at least fifteen minutes and can be heard outside the immediate premises from the location of the emitter by a person with normal hearing. Sound that is clearly audible to a person with normal hearing from any place other than the premises from which the source of the sound is located, when the sound occurs between the hours of nine p.m. and seven a.m., is prima facie evidence of a violation of this section. It seems like it would be a simple fix if the football announcers were to turn the volume down just a little bit, it would help a lot of people, and harm no one. Thank you, Katie Edmonds
Hello - I wanted to ask if the city could do a better job decorating for Christmas this year. We moved up from Florida last year and was very surprised that there was no Christmas tree in the city center, and meager decorations -- just some strings of white lights on the courthouse. It didn't feel festive or beautiful or special. It's important, maybe not for students, but for families, older people and also business owners, I would think, to have a festive, Christmas-y and beautiful downtown. Please, Bloomington, put up a big Christmas tree this year on or around the courthouse square, and have a special lighting ceremony, with Christmas and holiday music. And do Christmas decorations on the lamp posts on Kirkwood, and maybe string lights over the avenue (like in the photo attached here, of Clematis Street in West Palm Beach). It's these things that make a town really wonderful. Or not. Thank you, Margaret Menge
