I was at Lower Cascades park yesterday and the large rope play structure seemed less stable than normal. The blue center support pole was visibly swaying as kids climbed the ropes. I may be wrong, but i don't remember the pole moving on our previous visits to the park. I just wanted to let you know so someone could take a look. Thanks! PS - we love lower cascades park.
I live on the Waterman section of W. 8th Street. A few years ago, before the city repaved our road, there were yellow center lines and also marked roadside parking spaces. When will the city repaint those lines? It has been a few years already. We have an issue of people speeding on our road, which they do by driving down the center of it regardless of oncoming traffic, pedestrians, and bicyclists. I think the speeding was less of an issue back when the road lines were painted because those lines prevented people from driving down the middle of the road like they do now. I think repainting the center lines and the parking spot lines, we could actually solve the speeding problem.
My recycling and paper recycling was not picked up today. I called twice, both times before dept. closed. First time, at about 11:46 or noon got a man, very nice; second time at 1:50 an answering machine. I'm told recycling is closed on Friday. For how long must I leave these two containers out for pickup? I finally called the Mayor's office, and Elizabeth filed a U-report. Naturally she was nice and very prompt in helping me.
I travel west on Moore's Pike between 8:30am and 9:00am every weekday morning. In the past few weeks, traffic is often backed up from High St. nearly to the Roundabout on Moore's Pike. When this occurs, it takes 3-4 cycles of the High St. & Moore's Pike/Hillside light to get through the light. If there is a way to increase west bound traffic flow through that intersection and allow side street traffic to enter the Moore's Pike roadway, during that time period, it would be a good thing.

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.
trash everywhere outside 622 n Washington
There are an increasing number of potholes between College/Walnut west on 46 to Ellettsville that need to be repaired before winter sets in. I know this is a state highway but to Bloomington/Ellettsville it is almost a country road. Also, there is a 50mpg sign down and damaged just west of where Monroe St intersects 46 that needs replacement/repair. Also, the retaining wall on the east bound exit of 37 to east bound 46 is covered with graffiti. Thank you for doing what you can.
