Tim, Re: uReport Case #204545. Thanks for the reply. Any update regarding the big mud hole getting filled in, drain added, fenced off, or something? IMHO just fencing it off would be the easiest and cheapest solution. We (me and other regular dog park visitors) were hoping it would get done when the was park closed for 2 days. Apparently that was just to spray Roundup, which for what it's worth, was not well received by the regular dog park visitors. As one person said, "Who cares about weeds in a dog park?". Thanks again for your work. Everyone I have ever met at the park (regular and newbies) all agree it is the best dog park! Thanks Jim

The Lower Cascades Playground - The Yellow wooden Floors in the Lower Playground are deteriorating pretty badly. They are probably okay for the season, but there are starting to be significant signs of needing repairs and replaced. The Upper Cascades Playground main slide is not structurally sound to carry the weight of a three year old. The sections are splitting from each other.

There are parking spots for people with disabilities in the north Bryan Park parking lot at the end of Stull Avenue, but there is no accessible way for them to get from the parking lot to the park path or the north shelter. I have lived right next to this parking lot for more than 30 years, but it didn't occur to me until today, when I was walking across the wet grass, that there is no path for people with mobility issues. It seems to me this should be rectified -- I never see anyone using those accessible spaces. Perhaps that's why. Thanks!

On August 29, 2025 at approximately 6:30 PM, a City of Bloomington employee wearing a grey shirt labeled SECURITY was seen at Switchyard Park (under a shelter near benches, Northeast corner near the playground) using his cane to abuse a homeless person's dog with no prior exchange between the dog or owner and that employee witnessed. I was told by a bystander that the employee approached to hit the dog due to "complaints of the dog biting children," however, there were no children present near the dog at the time, and complaints like that should be handled by Animal Control. During this incident, I was informed that there are security cameras present in the area. I ask that if this is the case, footage is reviewed and the employee is educated on handling animal complaints in an appropriate and non-abusive manner.

I have a quick question- On 13th St., between Fairview and Jackson, we have gravel shoulders between the paved street and the sidewalks, that are getting pretty worn down/muddy. Is it the Street Dept. responsibility to keep those maintained with fresh gravel, or the homeowner's responsibility? I'd love to have them turned back into treeplots, but I feel like that's a whole different discussion... Any info would be appreciated! Thank you!

Mister Jackson, 100 n smith is parking on the grass again if you can ask them to go back to the driveway. They were doing good after your last letter.
