Absolute CRATER of a pothole on the stretch of N Woodlawn between 11th and E Cottage Grove, just across from Luddy. Completely blew out my tire, I had a flat within 30 seconds and had to buy a new one! Not to mention, the campus busses take this route every day. I have seen numerous people fall because the driver hit this pothole head-on. It is only a matter of time before a campus bus gets a flat. PLEASE fill this pothole! It cost me $150 dollars!!!

Husky is left tied outside all day. Water not accessible today because under little trampoline type bed for him to lay on. Shelter is canvas dog house that blows around. Left out for long periods of time- all day into evening without shelter except for canvas one. Water is not heated so most likely frozen . I do not want them to know who reported . I am afraid of retaliation from them. It is a. They have two pigs inside as well as other dogs but this dog is left out most of the time.

I was driving on 3rd Street just west of College Mall Rd. (by the church). My car hit a pothole in the road which destroyed the front right tire on my car. I will leave the care at Firestone overnight but I will need to have the tire replaced. I am hoping the City of Bloomington will pay for my new tire. Thank you.

I would like to go metal detecting in the city parks such as Bryan Park, Karst Farm Park and Cascades Park and read that I needed to get permission from the Parks and Rec department. I am always careful not to leave any trash behind and to carefully fill any holes after. I am also careful not to interfere with other's use of the park.

Spring has started and the outdoor smoke coming from the Barbecue is in full force at the Short Stop food-mart on North Smith Road. My wife and I had three meetings with the City Council about this issue in 2015. And 2 recorded meetings with the council as a whole and a second meeting a few weeks later. The smoke issue was to be addressed for this location. But Chris Smith sold the store without implementing the standards the City Council had requested he perform. He was supposed to install and indoor smoker by December of (2015) that never happened. And he then sold the business in spring of 2016. As an example of how bad this smoke is. I hung wet laundry outside yesterday (Wednesday 4-25-18). Hoping for that nice fresh air smell when it was dry. Our clothing smelled like we had been next to a campfire. So I had to rewash all of the clothing. This has become a HUMAN HEALTH hazard and it has not been taken seriously. The city did nothing after our meetings to address SMOKE issues from cooking outdoors. I really hate to call the Fire department each time I smell smoke. As the cost to the city will be ridiculous for putting out (3) outdoor smokers. But that is what I am going to start doing. As we cannot breath. She had a lung removed and everyone is turning a blind eye towards this fact. Let me know what the city can do. Our district representative Allison Chopra was at the meetings as she was running for office and won the election. But I was told she had slept since the meetings and did not remember the restrictions placed on the smoke issue. If necessary I can send you the link to the videos of the meetings and what was proposed. Thank You.

On Friday, July 12, a crew from JE Reedy pushed through my double locked gate to clear a path so they could install fiber overhead (in a neighborhood that already has fiber). They seriously cut at least 3 trees: 2 are trees that get no taller than 15 feet, and a pine that was near the pole they needed to climb (Duke has cleared this area for years and never had to hack the pine). They said that they came by on Thursday but they did not leave any notice that they would be working in my backyard so they were trespassing. They could have done their work without destroying my fence row but that would have involved creativity and a little effort. I am sickened, angry and sad and want someone in the City to see this mess and come up with a way to make this right. I have several photos but could only upload one.

We were charged over $300 under sanitation for "Large Item Pick up", however, were not responsible for any items that were allegedly picked up. I have tried to get in contact with the sanitation department for the past month with no avail. I would like to get this issue resolved so I am not responsible for the charges or the late fees that could potentially accrue. Please contact me via email as that is my preferred method of communication.

When the curb between the bike lane and car lane was reconstructed gaps were left in the pavement. Generally the pavement repair was not done to the standard usually expected of Bloomington roads.

Apparently the diesel - electric buses enter into a "regeneration" cycle under idle to somehow clean out the soot particulates in the diesel exhaust system. Hot exhaust burns out the soot, right? It stinks all to high hel** and fills the cabin with what smells like CO - filled exhaust. I fear being asphixiated while waiting for the warm bus to begin it's route. I open a couple of windows everytime I board. Is this an exhaust leak, or is pumping hot regenerative soot exhaust gases including CO into the cabin, er.. normal? This smells awful and scares me everytime I ride a bus in these conditions. Please provide proof this is not a danger or remedy this nasty smelling problem.
