Vegetation obstructing sidewalk in front of 919-921 E. Hunter (esp. the part between the houses, which no owner seems to take responsibility for) remains a problem.

Frat house at 702 E. Third St. has tires disposed in back yard next to dumpsters. This is easily visible from alley behind the property.
600 E. First St. has a parking area off Henderson St. that fits two cars without encroaching on sidewalk. Current tenants are parking three cars, which results in sidewalk obstruction because they don't angle in enough. See photo. Please work with landlord to prevent this busy commuter sidewalk right of way from pinching down to just two or three feet.
There has been a gray Pontiac Vibe parked on the north side of Maxwell Lane for approximately 2 weeks. It’s located at 1521 E. Maxwell Lane. My neighbor, Raglind Binkley, lives at 1520 E. Maxwell Lane. (She asked me to submit this report due to personal matters). Her words via a text to me: “Depending on which direction I turn..yesterday I almost hit the door.” Raglind’s driveway is directly across the street from this parked car. I (Diane)did not notice any No Parking signs on this segment of Maxwell Lane, so it may be entirely legal for this car to be parked there (?), but continuously without it being moved is the concern. Thanks.
We are the owners/residents at 809 S. Stull in Bloomington. I want to report an issue at a neighboring rental apartment. The owner/landlord a 812 S Stull dumped a bunch of junk on their front lawn of their building with a little sign saying "Free stuff." This is junk that should be collected and discarded (see photo). Can the city put pressure on this landlord to properly dispose of this stuff? It is obnoxious to have trash littering a property on a residential street for over a week now. Thank you!
I wanted to let someone be aware that while driving home yesterday (9/8/25) around 3:20pm, there was a city vehicle pulling onto 69 south from 46. This driver was flying - once he passed me he kept flying. I was speeding myself at 80mph(in my personal vehicle) and i couldn't keep up. He got behind a semi in the middle lane and i took the left lane to pass. Not only was he going 80 he was also talking on his hand held phone. He eventually passed me again and kept going onto 37 south past the light at Victor Pike. He was in car #503. I could care less if he was in his personal vehicle but he was in a city vehicle, what a horrible way to represent this city! I couldn't have been more disappointed in our city knowing we have employees like that. I would hope someone is able to address this employee regarding his driving in a city vehicle. thanks!
I am reporting this issue again, having to do with complaint #205576, with added information, and due to the fact that as of 9pm today/tonight (9/9/2025) none of the signs have actually been removed. I believe I also might've submitted to the wrong department. I have multiple photos, but it is only letting me upload the one of the sign on the opposite side of W. 3rd Street, which is currently secured to one of the city/county's traffic cameras, and is taking up some of the sidewalk, as it is more than just a simple signboard. The other 2 signs are located at the entrance to S. Yancy Ln. . One is mounted to the street sign for S. Yancy Ln. with plastic zip-ties, and the other one is secured to a "DEAD END" road sign, with what appears to be bungee cord. I believe the person who put the signs up resides at 106 Yancy Ln. and they should be cited/fined! The signs should also be removed either by city personnel or by the person who posted them immediately. Every day they remain where they are, it just encourages more residents to engage in the same activity.
Pedestrian Crossing sign @ N. Pete Ellis Drive (300 Block) on East side approach is not visible due to low tree limbs. Motorists not familiar with this roadway may not see pedestrians as they step off the shaded and tree-covered curb under signage.
"Speed limit and Curve Ahead" sign next to entrance of IU Farmstead on N. Pete Ellis Drive is blocked by low-hanging limbs limiting visibility of motorists/cyclists, etc. near the Railroad approach & across from the Woodbridge Post Office busy intersection.
While I am happy that a path was made, the plate in the middle of the sidewalk creates both a trip hazard and an impediment to anyone using a wheelchair or other mobility aid
