Top layer of asphalt has chipped away making wheelchair access to the little pantry difficult. As an able bodied ambulatory person, I confess I fell down when my foot unexpectedly encountered this drop-off. Please patch the asphalt.
A tree in the city easement area behind my parents house at 1009 S. Grant fell down and broke their fence and is now in their yard. I have been unable to find the rules applying to this sort of issue and would greatly appreciate any help for them. Thank you
There's a silver Jeep Liberty parked facing the wrong direction on Allen between S. Washington and Walnut. It has been there for several weeks. I am assuming it was abandoned because it hasn't been moved for weeks, and one of the windows was left down.
Dear Parks and Rec, Thanks for getting new pool lounge chairs at Bryan Park Pool! The other moms and I were just about over the broken old ones. Hopefully these new ones will last longer than the previous ones, which were almost always broken. The new ones have a better design. At high traffic times, I noted that people were still wandering around to find somewhere to sit or lay. Perhaps ordering a dozen more would be a good idea. Additionally, though people can certainly bring their own lawn chairs, I think it would be a good idea to have a dozen regular plastic chairs available for people who cannot sit comfortably on the low-to-the-ground pool lounge chairs. It's hard for grandparents or people with limited mobility to get up and down from the loungers. Thank you, Lucy Fischman 823 S. Fess Ave.
wasp attack in Bryan Park - on the creek path near the Woodlawn end, Friday evening
Hi, There is a substantial amount of poison ivy along the path that cuts through the middle of Bryan Park, especially toward the east. It's right at dog/toddler height. Could this be eradicated? Thank you.

What are the safety protocols for lifeguards on duty? There are two lifeguards on duty for the main pool at 2:30 pm, but the elevated chairs designed for lifeguards to easily scan the pool are empty. Instead, both lifeguards are seated together, chatting on the staff bench. There are easily 60+ people at the Bryan Park Pool now and plenty of small children. Until this weekend, lifeguards at Bryan Park Pool used the elevated chairs all summer and rotated frequently. Follow-up to #192811: https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=192811
Does the City of Bloomington/Parks and Rec have a lifeguard:patron ratio that they implement? As of 1:30 pm, there are about 30 people in the main pool (not including the deep end) and only one lifeguard on duty. This lifeguard was seated in an oversight chair on the south side of the pool. When I asked the four off-duty lifeguards about the ratio, one told me that only a single lifeguard was sufficient for the whole pool for the number of patrons. He also indicated that they did not need to close off the west end of the pool to reduce the scan area for the lone lifeguard. However, after that, he did ask the seated lifeguard to go down to ground level to scan the pool.
