The homeowner at 3860 S. Mill Stone Way is habitually negligent in the maintenance of their yard. Only mowed it once since I reported them 2 months ago. The back yard slope has not yet been mowed this year. On the south side of the house there is a small pile of brush that's been there for months that has a snake living in it. Please help. My daughter is afraid to play in the yard with so many places for wild animals to hide in their grass. This is an eyesore for the entire neighborhood. Thank you!

To whom it may concern: I was dismayed to read in this morning's hotline that roundup is used in our parks and around our trails. Yes, this is the roundup civilians can buy in stores; however, that does not mean it is safe. I thought Bloomington was a progressive place on the cutting edge of environmental concerns - apparently not. Any amount of poison applied to our earth is dangerous to people and animals, among others. And when we have rains, the roundup runs off into our water systems. Look at all of the drains on streets which sport little stickers saying don't put any hazardous materials down the drains. Well, you are. Let's think about the big picture. What is more important - having a safe environment in which we can be on the grass, drink safe water, etc. or getting rid of a few weeds, which, by the way, are also part of our creation. I know there are invasive weeds, but surely there are safer ways to eradicate them than by spraying them with poison that is hazardous to everything. You say you have professionals applying these poisons - I don't believe that makes the substance any safer. I hope you will consult various organic farmers and landscapers in the area for advice before applying any more roundup. Thank you. Anne Fraker
There is a street sign missing for "Harold" Street. Harold Street is located between Dunn and Grant street just north of the Poplar's building. Thank you.
Traffic signal at W 2nd St and Rogers St: Lt arrow (from eastbound 2nd to northbound Rogers) is only letting 2 cars thru - normally is set on demand and lets many more thru. Causing backup on eastbound 2nd St.
I would like to compliment the Parking Enforcement for being able to ticket for an expired meter within 6 minutes of the expiration of the time. I saw the parking officer walking away as I approached. It was almost as remarkable of a job well done as the time this last winter when I received a ticket at 9:46 pm on a weekend night that I was 3 minutes late getting back to my car. the latter ticket was more impressive based on the fact that is was on a dark area of the block and there were no other cars parked on the whole block. That person was making money for the Town to the very end. I am impressed with how the City helps you always want to watch the clock when visiting downtown. Also, the City has renewed my interest in collecting coins. I am also impressed by the subliminal attempt to have people visiting the City to seek out establishments and restaurants that do not have parking meters in front of them. Well done! I also had a complaint I would liked to have lodged about visiting Bloomington downtown but just noticed this compliment box as the only means of communication.. so I just stuck with the compliments!
I'm an IU senior who lives on 217 S Lincoln in town. My apartment doesn't have parking for all of its tenants this year, all nearby garage lots are full, and monthly parking lots are being rented out by the local churches and businesses. I have tried for weeks to find a parking spot even remotely close to my apartment and hoped that The City would be able to issue me a Zone 9 permit since that is the closest zone to my apartment (within blocks). Today I was turned away and told "you either live in the zone or you don't, so there are no other options." I am incredibly appalled that The City has no means to help and is not willing to accept the money of a county citizen who is in a desperate situation to find parking. The City doesn't have to care about my specific situation or plight, but it should care about the well-being and security of the masses. I know I am not the only person in my neighborhood who is having such an issue. Parking should be an essential living item--like food, water, and shelter. Adequate and nearby parking is quite often a NECESSITY in order for people to get to work, to keep their jobs, to earn an income, to visit their families, to maintain a routine. It is senseless, unorganized, and uncivil for The City to claim to put such an emphasis on city parking yet not provide a zone for all areas of town NOR allow a resident to receive a permit for the closest zone to their residence. Come on, Bloomington, who are you helping if you're not out to help everyone?
