Subject: Concern About Clogged Storm Drains on 1st Street
Dear Bloomington Town Official,
I am reaching out regarding an ongoing issue with leaves clogging the above-ground grated storm drains along 1st Street, between Henderson and Grant Streets. I previously reported this concern a few weeks ago, but the problem has reappeared due to the continued accumulation of leaves.
The situation seems to have worsened following Bloomington's policy change to no longer collect unbagged leaves. As a result, many residents are no longer raking, and the town has become noticeably untidy. These clogged drains pose a significant risk of flooding when it rains, creating potential hazards for our community.
I kindly ask for prompt attention to clear these drains and consider ways to address the broader issue of leaf accumulation to maintain the town’s cleanliness and prevent future drainage problems.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hello ,
During the month of December 2024, there was utility work done on my property while I was away for the winter break. When I returned, there was 1.5 feet of snow; however, since it has melted, I have seen the damage that was done to my front yard - see the attached photos. There are two holes in my lawn (photo on right) and the crew stained my limestone walkway (photo on left). Can you please send the utility company to repair these damages as soon as possible?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Elida C. Behar

Parking at the yellow line, driveway location. This is a dangerous situation when I drive onto 1st Street because I cannot see the incoming cars. Also, these cars block the trash cans for the Monday morning pickups. Please monitor 1st Street regularly between Grant & Henderson for various repeating traffic violations - thank you! 11/01/2025 ecb

Re: Ongoing Parking Violation - uReport #207578
I'm following up on my January 14th report regarding a Jeep parked in front of my residence, extending approximately 5 feet over the yellow curb line. This vehicle creates a dangerous sight line obstruction when I pull onto 1st Street, which has heavy traffic.
Despite my initial report, the vehicle remains un-ticketed and I have not received a response from the Town of Bloomington. This ongoing violation poses a safety hazard.
I'm requesting immediate attention to this matter. Please advise on the status of my report and when enforcement action will be taken.
Thank you for your prompt assistance.
