My recycling and paper recycling was not picked up today. I called twice, both times before dept. closed. First time, at about 11:46 or noon got a man, very nice; second time at 1:50 an answering machine. I'm told recycling is closed on Friday. For how long must I leave these two containers out for pickup? I finally called the Mayor's office, and Elizabeth filed a U-report. Naturally she was nice and very prompt in helping me.
I saw some neighborhood kids playing on what looked like our neighbors' power or phone box units. The kids were jumping and pushing them and pretending (I think?) to get shocked. One kid looked like he was trying to pull one over. I am concerned that they will get hurt or that a fire will start due to the damage. When I went to tell them to stop, they had run off.
Once again, I need to report excessive grass growth on the lot just west of my lot (105 E Sunny Slopes Dr, Bloomington). It is an area that doesn't appear to belong to anyone--it is the extension of what might have been planned for a street.
Not sure why my trash was not picked up yesterday (Thursday). My recycling was collected, but not two bags of trash (with stickers showing clearly). I guess I can put them in my garage until next Wednesday night, but if there was a problem with the trash that kept it from being picked up, I would like to know what that problem was.
The sidewalks on the drive to the Women's Clinic have curbs rather than a curbcut. This means that a person who uses a power wheelchair can't get to the Clinic via her wheelchair.
The back of the Winslow Sports Park trail is overgrown, by the woods and behind the tennis courts. The weeds are growing so large that the trail is cut in half. Please mow to help keep this trail safe and clean! Thank you!
The alley between 423 and 425 S grant st needs some attention. There are pot holes and many bad areas. We have repaved our lots already.
The address is 3401 Ashwood Dr. The bushes are so overgrown that they are completely covering the sidewalk and have caused it to fall apart.
The address is 210 Ridgeview Drive. There's a green SUV that has a flat tire, parked alongside the road for over a month - NEVER moving. It makes a bottleneck on the street right there, and if you're heading towards Walnut St. Pk. you cannot see if there is oncoming traffic when you're trying to go around this vehicle.
The streets in Windermere Woods are in bad shape in many spots. Pot holes in the middle and where the streets meet the curbs, etc. It is getting dangerous for walking and for biking and is als not good for our cars. We have called the city several times over the past five years or so and been told each time that "we were on the list" for repairs. Please repave our streets. This report is being submitted by Philippa Guthrie (Corporation Counsel) on Ellie Rogers' behalf. Ellie sent me photos but they won't upload. I can email them so please contact me at 349-3547 or email guthriep@bloomington.in.gov
