1) There is a large amount of debris from lawn clippings, downed branches, and other general sticks and brush overgrowth collecting along the west side of the alley between 1424 S Walnut and 1423 S Monon Drive.
The debris and overgrown brush along the west side has become so bad it is destroying and collapsing the fence along my back yard (1423 South Monon Drive) and also has become a nesting area for animals.
2) There is also a lot of loose large gravel chunks in the road and on the sidewalks along the 100-172 West Hillside Drive block, left over from winter ploughing that is dangerous to vehicle tires and threatening to clog the storm drain at the corner of South Monon and West Hillside.

Given the irregularity of the sidewalk clearing along this area, would it be possible to plow the street all the way to the curb? This would expose the entire bike lane for use by cyclists and (where necessary) pedestrians.

bamboo has again encroached on sidewalk. Weeds growing up in gaps on sidewalk make the sidewalk impassible. Pedestrians must walk in 6th Street to get past this house. Cars approaching the intersection on Elm Street must pull into the street to see if traffic is traveling east on 6th. This is a recurrent problem and was not handled by the city the last time I complained. This is plain and simple neglect.

This yard is all bamboo. The bamboo has grown out considerably into the street. and now some the stalks are completely parallel to the road and hang down considerably. Trucks would brush through it whenever. But cars just miss it, unless it rains when it actually is a bit dangerous hitting your car. The sidewalk in front of the house is impassable, too, with a lot of weed growth. Quite the neighborhood eyesore.

A tall plywood fence is being installed between the houses at 1000 and 1002 East Atwater in order to provide an area for drinking/partying. These "fence" panels are removed and stored during city business hours on the deck adjoining the house at 1002 East Atwater. These are the dates the fence has appeared:
8/23, 8/24, 8/25, 8/26 8/31, 9/2, 9/3, 9/4, 9/8, 9/9, 9/14, 9/15. In addition to hiding large crowds of kids drinking, the party area draws increased traffic, trash, noise and the possibility of the "fence" falling and injuring someone. In spite of the fact that the property owner and tenants have been notified that the fence is not allowed it is repeatedly put up and removed to facilitate crowds and loud parties. Would the city please take some action to prevent this from continuing?

This "temporary" fence has gone up every weekend since the end of August 2017, and the photo here is from today (Sat.Sept.16). It is held up by begs of sand or concrete(?), and pails with cinderblocks on them. The fence is made of plywood boards not attached to each other but resting on the aforesaid "supports". As the boards are large and heavy, it is likely they could hurt someone should they tip over during one of the many loud parties the fence enables.The fence also enables the partiers to avoid being seen by the police when passing by looking for the source of the loud parties and allows the partiers to espy the police cars coming to shut down their parties. Please inform the occupants of the house that they should not erect this fence, not only for the danger to passersby and to themselves, but because they requested permission to build such a fence from the Bloomington Historic Preservation Commission in June 2017 and permission was refused.
