Man hole cover sticking out of the road, makes a hazard for motorcycles, please fix. Also same thing going down woodlawn south at that intersection. Very dangerous for motorcycles and bikes!
Hi. On Saturday, my 3-year-old child tripped and fell over a new patch in the street outside our house on Greenwood Avenue. Apparently, some of my neighbors wrote to you last week to report the bad condition of the street. On Thursday/Friday(?), several large potholes were filled in, but it seems to be fast emergengy patching. Some of the patches are now bumps instead of holes, with loose tarmac around the patch. First, I WOULD like to say thank you for acting on this so quickly. But I do have two questions: (i) Is the street scheduled for proper repair in the near future? and (ii) Is the sidepath at the end of the street, between Greenwood and Southdowns, also scheduled for improvement? My interest in this issue is not only as a resident. I am a member of the Rogers/Binford Safe Routes to School Committee, and I am concerned about upkeep for the children who use this as the main pedestrian route to school from the SoMax neighborhood. Thanks in advance for your response.

large couch and chair rotting in yard since September. Location is between this house and the next house to the east. Both houses are rooming houses owned by a man named Brawley. Trash often around cans in alley for weeks and blowing around the streets. An officer (Kenny?) went today to talk to tenants again about the trash but probably not about the furniture.

1000 & 1002 East Atwater trash 9/5/2017. Photo of construction materials that have been laying in the yard between these 2 houses since October, 2016. The second week of August they were moved behind the dumpster and have remained there spite of repeated requests to clean up the area. I am also questioning why this dumpster is not covered or enclosed on all sides considering the rat problem the neighbors have been experiencing since these properties were purchased by a new owner.
A tall plywood fence is being installed between the houses at 1000 and 1002 East Atwater in order to provide an area for drinking/partying. These "fence" panels are removed and stored during city business hours on the deck adjoining the house at 1002 East Atwater. These are the dates the fence has appeared: 8/23, 8/24, 8/25, 8/26 8/31, 9/2, 9/3, 9/4, 9/8, 9/9, 9/14, 9/15. In addition to hiding large crowds of kids drinking, the party area draws increased traffic, trash, noise and the possibility of the "fence" falling and injuring someone. In spite of the fact that the property owner and tenants have been notified that the fence is not allowed it is repeatedly put up and removed to facilitate crowds and loud parties. Would the city please take some action to prevent this from continuing?
This "temporary" fence has gone up every weekend since the end of August 2017, and the photo here is from today (Sat.Sept.16). It is held up by begs of sand or concrete(?), and pails with cinderblocks on them. The fence is made of plywood boards not attached to each other but resting on the aforesaid "supports". As the boards are large and heavy, it is likely they could hurt someone should they tip over during one of the many loud parties the fence enables.The fence also enables the partiers to avoid being seen by the police when passing by looking for the source of the loud parties and allows the partiers to espy the police cars coming to shut down their parties. Please inform the occupants of the house that they should not erect this fence, not only for the danger to passersby and to themselves, but because they requested permission to build such a fence from the Bloomington Historic Preservation Commission in June 2017 and permission was refused.
I would like to know whether the alley behind my house and 1000-1002 E. Atwater legally continues through and across Hawthorne, as the alley does continue between Hunter and Atwater past Hawthorne. I would also like to know the exact location of the utilities in the alley as specified in 12.12.080.
