This Washington and Grimes street light that was recently repaired is obscenely bright. The cool LED is a migraine trigger for at least one resident, and the brightness is disruptive to local wildlife. Replace with a warm colored light with minimum required lumens for street safety.

Our trash cart was not fully emptied at pickup yesterday -- there is still a bag of trash in the cart (it is not jammed or otherwise stuck, it can move easily). This means our cart is already half full at the beginning of the week.
How does Bloomington determine the appropriate lifeguard-patron ratio for the city's public pools? How often is a responsible staff member actively evaluating safety needs during the course of the pool hours? (Seeking an actual response, as I notice that recent U-reports asking this question have been closed despite zero answers.) On August 10-11, there was an alarming disconnect between lifeguards and actual use of the facility. Despite a hot, sunny weekend with dozens of patrons in and around the main pool (including plenty of small children), there was only a single lifeguard on duty sitting on the ground level staff bench for the **entire main pool**. At least on Aug 17-18, the west end of the main pool was closed, reducing by half the active scan area for the single on duty lifeguard. It would be terrible to have a safety emergency at the city pools worsened by underestimating the need for lifeguards on duty.
There have been many wonderful improvements with the new Hawthorne Greenway, but there's a glaring absence of a decent pedestrian crosswalk from Weatherstone Ave. walking East or West across Woodlawn two new accessible curb cuts were made on the Weatherstone side of that intersection, but then, there's no crossing support for pedestrians to get into the park from there. I think a lot more kids will be taking that path from Weatherstone or from Hawthorne to cut across the park to get into Templeton Elementary School. A painted, raised crosswalk with signage would be ideal. Is that in the plans?
The crosswalk “person” symbol does not display at the corner of 4th & Walnut.
Hello Park and Recreation Team, I would like to share my thoughts about the new equipment called "Victory Tower” at Bryan park. Would you consider adding something like a ladder to come down? I see 2 options to come down either by a pole or come down with the slope. When more kids are waiting in the line to enjoy the equipment, it is hard to come down the slope. I do not know but I feel like the pole is expected to be used. When my child tried to use the pole, it was a little bit far from the top of the equipment so she got scared of grabbing a pole. More kids were trying to play with the equipment and my child felt pressured and cried. I wish I could have climbed the pole to grab her but I could not. If a child gets stuck at the top of the equipment, it will cause congestion. I feel like adding something like a ladder to come down would be more helpful.
Large stack of discarded furniture and debris is sitting in the yard at the edge of Dodds for an extended period of time. Need to be removed as it is unsanitary and unsightly.
Tenants just dumped trash on curb and it has been sitting there for over two trash/recycling pickup cycles. The lot (two houses on one lot) has been a continual problem for the neighborhood with trash/debri and just in general inconsiderate neighbors.
