Graffiti

Near the indicated location on the sidewalk on the north side of 1st street is spray painted a 4-letter expletive (F***) repeated about 10 times. This has been there for at LEAST 3 weeks now and it's not only offensive but a disgrace that it has been allowed to remain in our community for so long. Not only must it be doubly offensive to families walking with children but it sends the message that this is appropriate and tolerated in our city, especially as it's along a busy corridor.

2611 Round Hill Lane, Bloomington. I understand the City cannot do anything about the overgrown lawn at this address because of the litigation the home owner has filed. But could you at least remove the dead trees and/or limbs that are blocking the sidewalk and could potentially fall on my car? I would think city code 12.24.040 would cover this problem. Additionally, the property owner cut tree limbs from his roof line, left them to drop in a pile so that if the dry conditions return we have a neighborhood fire hazard. I am so far beyond frustrated with this sitution. The property owner is getting a free ride in the litigation with the city, while our neighborhood would have to raise thousands to hire a lawyer and take this unreasonable man to court.
I like being able to submit my complaint, but wish I could review my comments, but this web page won't let me scroll back.
Please contact me if you have any questions.

Potholes, Other Street Repair
- Case Date:
- 8/12/2012
I would like to report a series of potholes in the west bound lanes of Covenantor Drive on the northside of the road near the wooded area just east of building containing dental offices, approximately the 3000 or 3100 east block on Covenantor. Please see the attached map and the approximate area is outlined in red
It appears that these holes are caused by the many Bloomington Transit Buses that drive on this road and it also appears that these holes have been patched several times in the past.
The holes are getting deeper. I hope that these series of holes can be patched properly before the first snow.
Thanks.

Northside of Tapp Rd. between S. Adams and Rockport Rd - overgrown weeds and brush on sidewalk make it difficult to travel on the sidewalk.
- Case Date:
- 6/26/2012
There are many pedestrians like myself who walk North Walnut under the railroad trestle just north of 13th Street. On the west side of Walnut, this is so overgrown with weeds (some nearly trees) it becomes difficult to safely navigate there. Who is responsible to maintain this problem? If it's the railroad, they should be fined - especially in the winter when snow is NEVER cleared. The weeds are a nasty sight, too. One more thing, what should we do when we see homeless people making their 'homes' under the bridge. I just came past there and a couple of scary guys (trolls??) were making themselves comfortable. I'm a middle-aged single woman w/o a car so I often have to go to CVS from my home at 11th and Walnut. Thanks for any help you can provide!
Excessive Growth

Foliage is blocking at least half of the sidewalk running from Maxwell Lane to First Street -- and there are also low-hanging branches along the path as well.
Excessive Growth

Absentee owner of property to east of 1208 W. 8th St. seems to have abandoned yard again. Grass is over 2 feet tall, thick dirt from construction is all over the sidewalk, and my landlord and I have been cutting back the bushes/part of the lawn so that they don't completely block the sidewalk. I can barely get my son's stroller through and the mud is extremely slippery after a hard rain. Our yard also has a major chigger infestation from the owner only mowing his lawn two or three times a year in previous years so that I can't even take my toddler outside to play without us both suffering from dozens of bites. Please help!
Excessive Growth
1701-1799 E Durham Ln
- Case Date:
- 5/22/2012
The sidewalk on both the front and side of the property at 1700 E Camby Lane (southeast corner of Camby and Durham) is obstructed by low hanging branches and outgrowing vegetation. The HOA for the neighborhood has been notified and hasn't acted to rectify this, other than to send a letter to property owners mentioning overgrowth among other general comments; this hasn't resulted in any action by the homeowner. It's not possible to walk along the sidewalk without walking into tree limbs and/or bushes, so pedestrians must walk in the street on both the front and side sidewalks.
