House located at 3005 E. Daniel St. in Kensington has the appearance of being abandoned from the exterior. Yard has never been kept up, and nobody has been seen at this home in over a month. Front porch looks like it is falling down, yard is a major eye-sore, everything is overgrown. Mailman says he has seen nobody there in a very long time. Something needs to be done to the exterior.
Some time ago, the street was patched by the curb of my next door neighbor. During this last storm the patch was raised up and broke into pieces. The larger pieces remained in that location but the rest of the patch and gravel washed down the street on it’s way to drain but ended up in front of my drive. The city was repairing the patch today and I asked if they could get the patch that was in front of my house and they said I would have to contact the city. I always remove debris that blocks drain but I never know what to do with all the gravel. If I know the sweeper is coming or I see them in the neighborhood I try to brush it into piles but the sweepers don’t generally get it all. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

The photo say it all. I find this every day all over the city. It is quite annoying having to step over or move these "coasters", (which they are not). This is at Kirkwood and Lincoln
The sidewalk widening project along S. Henderson St. is extremely dangerous for pedestrians and a hazard for vehicles pulling in and out of Winslow Plaza as well. The contractor dug 2' deep x 2' footings for new curbs at the sidewalks crossing the entrances to Winslow Plaza and put up now warning signs, barricades, cones, or caution tape. No sidewalk closed signs have been put up. Who is supervising this project?

I thought the Bloomington police handled themselves well Saturday at the market. They were put in a bad position needing to enforce the parks department decision to trespass a protester. The officers were calm, courteous, and professional throughout despite being yelled at and called names. Thanks for keeping us safe and civil as best you can given the circumstances. I'm sorry people are taking out frustrations on you.
The hand dryers in Twin Lakes bathrooms sound like a jet plane taking off. As the worst case of noise pollution I’ve ever heard, why have they not been replaced? See https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/05/13/is-noise-pollution-the-next-big-public-health-crisis
Hello -- where the parking lot and sidewalk end and the Rail Trail begins (at the trailhead on Country Club Drive), there is a growing issue. The height difference between the trail and the sidewalk is becoming a real trip hazard for pedestrians, an accessibility issue for others, and a flat tire waiting to happen for cyclists. Is there a way to get this fixed up a bit? But please, please, do NOT use giant gravel. The parts of the Rail Trail that were patched with giant gravel are a disaster. Leave the bump instead of using big gravel if that is the only set of options.
