My daughter and 3 of her friends live in close proximity to the house in the photo. I understand freedom of speech and expression, but they feel intimidated by the flag being displayed here. They are 3 girls living alone, they were already nervous with all of the sexual assaults either reported or un reported in Bloomington and specifically the IU Campus. Please address this and have the guys remove this flag.
Received call to HAND Dept. Wished to remain anonymous. Reporting gravel from the alleyway extending into the back-yard, likely for parking and does not think this is allowed. Would like a compliance officer to observe and issue citation.
Cases #193296 (6 September) and #193766 (11 October) pertain to the same property/issus. Both are closed and marked "resolved", though issue remains. Invasives have grown over the retaining wall and are blocking the sidewalk. The steps lead to what appears to be a vacant lot, though there is a building at the far north end of this property. As per Elevate, owner is: The Teague Trust 2106 Casa Mia Dr San Jose, Ca 95124 If Bloomington would pass an ordinance restricting property ownership to local residents, and even better to require that property owners actually live in the buildings they own, most of the problems like this would go away.
There is an all too common issue regarding the people who pick up Bloomington’s trash. Every week I have witnessed these men refuse to throw out a garbage bin because the lid is slightly ajar. The disrespect to only complete have their job and just leave residents’ full trash cans on the side of the road is unacceptable. I’m sure the city doesn’t want trash being left on the streets all week. Our property management said that trash not picked up will results in fines from the city. Well, if the city isn’t cleaning up the trash in the first place, this will not be the case. Can we please get a trash policy change or allow these college apartments/ houses have more than one trash and recycling bin so that this is never a problem again. Thanks.
Corrections to case#193765 (due to auto-correct): overgrown invasives are on the *west* side of Dunn (not east), and the plants we would like preserved are *cypresses* (thuja/arborvitae, Cupressaceae), not "depressed".
Malodorous dumpster sitting on sidewalk, east side of Lincoln.
Invasives growing into sidewalk, blocking pedestrian passage.
East side of Dunn just north of Windfall Dancers. Mulberry and/or Bush honeysuckle overgrown and blocking sidewalk. We are not wanting the depressed (thuja/arborvitae) cut back, just the invasive so that pedestrians do not need to walk in the grassy ROW.
NOTE: Site with the issue is south of 426 E 15th St. The sidewalk is blocked by overgrown vegetation. This apparently has been an issue for a long time based on mature growth of the vegetation and the path carved out to the left of the sidewalk.
