The alley running north and south from W. Dixie to W. Dodds is overgrown with weeds and bushes and is untravelable, can someone clear that out. It's not on my property or I would do it. Thanks!!
There are three potholes on Romans Way three houses south of Brighton Crest. In addition, a stop/street sign has been knocked over at the intersection of S. Smith Road and Fenbrook on the northeast corner. The sign is laying on the ground. It needs a new post.
Greetings, I couldn't get the mayor to comment directly on the following via the Ask the Mayor program on WFIU, perhaps your dept can comment? Downtown and near downtown main streets are becoming a maze of hazardous patched sections, uneven pavement, road projects without final paving (roundabout at Arlington Road) and wear and tear that is not being attended to. I have my doubts that the Street Dept is at fault here but here is what I have observed as a lifelong resident who notices things. Due to the recent explosion of downtown building, contractors tear up our downtown streets, often major thoroughfares in order to connect to utilities, etc. They further damage the street with huge pieces of machinery needed for the construction. They finish the project and then cheap out on really repairing the damage to the street that was often in fine condition prior to them tearing it up. Then all the citizens have is a street that will kill their tires, struts and rattle their teeth as well as possibly causing accidents. They leave it up to the city to spend the huge $$$ to really fix the road correctly. The contractors and builders have no right to destroy our streets that WE pay taxes to keep in excellent condition. We should not have to wait for a scheduled road project when the road in question carries thousands of cars and other vehicles a day. This type of damage is very obvious at the northern apex of Walnut and College Avenues. Just patching the potholes and bumps and uneven surfaces is NOT enough. It seems that the streets that are getting paved and kept in the best condition in Bloomington are those who live in exclusive additions off these roads and all they had to do was to jiggle the ringer on the mayor’s cell phone and voila! the street is smooth as a baby’s bottom. Could you comment on my observations and what can be done?
I signed my family up for softball and now I don't want to take my kids. There is a lot of alcohol and drug use that seems to be common practice. Not a place to bring your family.
Closed friday, no information on website, newspaper ANYWHERE on what the rules are for Labor Day pick up, do monday picks up, likely no, city closed, so when, maybe folks who have lived here know, but there is no announcement anywhere I can find about holiday pick up schedules. Harrumph
I have a question about the women's league, Is there any rules about a woman that is in the middle of becoming a man still playing in a women's league since they are taking hormones is that a harm to the other woman playing since she would be able to hit the ball a lot harder and throw faster.
I live on W. Ralston Drive, and many people drive through there to avoid the traffic on Tapp/Country Club. The problem is that they drive really fast, way over the speed limit of 30 mph. We don't have sidewalks and I often feel unsafe walking from my car or my house to my mailbox. My yard has a ditch out front so anyone walking in front of my house has to walk in the street, not in the yard. I would love to have speed bumps installed on our street. There are a lot of elderly people and young families. Thank you!

An officer Barnes, who I saw at the 4th Street festival told me that she would have coffee with me after I told her that I thought policewomen and men were very special people who are unappreciated and underpaid and we all should cherish them. she instructed me to email the police department. I hope she gets this message.
The asphalt surface around storm drain inlet in front of my home (2631 S. Atlee St) has given way...fallen below surface level. There are additional cracks in the pavement and it appears the issue could get much worse. Currently someone could step in the hole and twist an ankle or worse. Photo attached. Thank you.
