Bushes are overgrowing and blocking most of the sidewalk
Bushes are overgrowing and blocking most of the sidewalk
Our recycling did not get picked up along with at least one other can on Jackson Street. Also this is the can that did get picked up blocking the alley next to my house where I park. I have observed trash pick up on Jackson Street for about 40 years. The cans were always put back where they were left for 39 years. But this year the cans are left in the street, blocking alleys and thrown down where they land. This in not considerate and it not how the trash has been handled in the past. It is not acceptable service. I have complained to Adam Wason to no avail. I really do not think this is too much to ask. The other end of the alley was also blocked by a trash can sitting right in the middle and people park on the alleys and use them for transportation. At least we can drive around the cans that are left in Jackson Street but the morning after trash day, it looks like a tornado has gone through and scattered cans everywhere. Is this what we should expect and accept from our city services these days? I hate to complain and I was waiting for this to get better but it has not improved at all.... Chris Sturbaum
Trash has been left unattended for months at this address. It was placed on curb for pickup this morning (after months left up against side of house), but sanitation workers did not take it — maybe because there was too much of it but it is a nuisance and a hazard at this point.
Old boat parked in the back yard
The three street lights in front of my home at 930 W 2nd St have been out for over a year. They alternately blink occasionally and by about midnight are out completely for the night in most cases. It is very dark even with the additional lighting provided by the Eye Center across the street. It would be greatly appreciated if these could finally be repaired.
I found 3 syringes in my back yard on Saturday morning. I did notify police dispatch, but wanted to also inform the city. We also had someone walk by the side of our house yesterday evening and got very alarmed when they saw us. Said they were cutting through to catch a ride. We live on a corner and there is no way it would have saved time. I am concerned safety wise, especially for my wife. I feel less sage then I did when I moved back to Bloomington 8 years ago.
Dead squirrel in the road
There is at least one skunk living under the boardwalk/under the playground at Building Trades Park. Seen it multiple times in the last week or two. Lots of dogs and cats in the neighborhood -- worry it'll spray someone/someone's pet.
Front yard bushes are overgrown, impeding sidewalk foot traffic.
