New street lamp on SE corner of 12th/Lincoln is WAY too bright, much brighter and whiter than the normal orange-ish lamps on other street light fixtures in the neighborhood. This one emits a lot of glare, blinding drivers as they attempt to navigate 12th Street, and causing pain if one happens to look directly at it. Worse, it casts light far beyond the actual intersection, flooding the houses in the vicinity with unwanted light all night long, preventing people from enjoying their porches in the evenings and early mornings. If the City refuses to switch the light to a normal soft light that can be tolerated, it seems reasonable that the light can at the very least be shaded so that the intense glare is only directed downward rather than flooding the neighbors' homes in all directions with unnatural, unhealthy, and offensive light. A similar lamp was recently installed at the 12th/Dunn intersection. The people who live near that intersection are probably experiencing a similar, unwelcome annoyance.

See #188316. Same issue with too-bright street lamp now at 12th/Washington. Please be mindful of property boundaries when it comes to illumination and not cast light on houses, etc. Also, with the bright lights up it makes it all the more convenient for dragsters to drive extremely fast down 12th Street at night. If the City's intention is ostensibly to make the street safer, why not install stop signs somewhere, such as at Lincoln and/or Grant? The frequency of vehicles that taking advantage of the lack of any speed controls (signs, etc.) and that drive 40-50mph down the street during the evenings, night, and early mornings is angering.

The streetlight at 820 Howe street has recently been replaced, which is great --- except it's now extremely bright! Down at 344 S. Euclid, its blue light shines through a South-facing window and interferes with our sleep. Can it be dimmed (or made more yellow)?

An electrical cord that runs to the light by the street is not buried properly.

The entrance to the alley behind the yellow building off of 11th street is still covered in snow. My roommate and I have the first two parking spots attached to the yellow building (Apt A) and must use this alley to access our parking spaces. With the snow buildup, my roommate has gotten stuck trying to pull in to our parking spaces and I am scared to try to use my car, as it will surely get stuck. We would like this cleared if possible.

Greetings. On a daily basis I commute as a pedestrian through my neighborhood. Part of my route involves the view of an entire length of a building filled with phrases such as, LETS WRECK SHIT, Hot For Crime, and LOSER. I wrote a letter over a year ago politely requesting the property owner remedy this. Additionally, I suggested they consider planting a hedgerow of sorts to restrict people's access to the wall. I have not received a reply, and no action has been taken. Can the city please address this? Also, There is graffiti all over the wall directly across from this but that is more offensive on a subjective level. Ultimately, both properties are owned by the same entity, and it would be really great if they maintained their property in a way that made the streets of Bloomington feel safe and civil. Thank you.

Graffiti is out of control. need vigilant quick cleanup to prompt this to stop. Mostly on public signs etc. But all over makes driving in this neighborhood seem like you're in ghetto.

There is graffiti on the cement wall off of Southern facing Walnut. It looks really bad and makes the street look even worse with that being there. Can someone please come remove the graffiti?
