An extension of issues #182682, #182475 and #182390. There are four street lights in the block between Grant-Dunn on Cottage Grove. The two closest to the west end of the block are on the south side and the other two on the north side. They are mostly white right now, but they are starting to turn purple like the other lights did on this block and that have now been replaced by normal, yellowish lights. The lights on this block are not yet at the point that they are painful and glaring like the other ones were, but they might be headed that way if indeed there was a manufacturing defect with the other lights that were replaced. Just a heads up, in case Duke will be out soon to replace any other lights nearby.

All the light posts along E Cottage Grove Ave stretching from the start of the road near Woodlawn Ave to Indiana Ave the light posts are defective radiating a blue/purple light that is not safe when it’s a block from a big ten campus. It actually makes it more eerie and more difficult to see when walking at night. Please replace these immediately, it’s a safety hazard.

On the far east end of the brick sidewalk out front, nearly against the retaining wall of 311 E. Cottage Grove and alongside the alley is what remains of what was probably a former street sign pole. It was broken off at some point about 8 inches from the ground. The remaining stump of a steel pole is still there, and it is *VERY* sharp on the tip. It was painted yellow at some point - possibly an attempt to make this hazard visible, but that doesn't help at night. Someone could trip on it, or worse, someone could trip on something else and fall and be impaled on the spike at the top of it. Please remove it ASAP, but whoever removes it needs to understand how to lay bricks because after removal the bricks will need to be relaid and perhaps some will need replacement. Also, no need to replace the sign because there hasn't been one there in a long time and it was ridiculous in the first place to install a sign in a sidewalk where someone could walk right into it in the dark.

IU Packer trucks are having a hard time getting access to trash containers along 9th because cars are parking along the curb. The sidewalk was recently re-done but curbs have not been painted. Thanks Jill

It was reported to me that one of the stop signs at Grant and Alice had been damaged. I did not see it. A citizen texted me. >>>>>> text below: Hey, realize this isn't exactly your department, but someone has turned stop and street sign at Grant/Alice intersection 90 degrees

Rental permit should not be renewed until property owner repairs the sidewalk in front of house. It is highly degraded and dangerous.

Homeless people are again living in People’s Park. They’re using drugs, fighting, leaving trash everywhere, screaming and yelling, urinating and defecating and have taken over most of the benches and tables. It also appears that they are sleeping there overnight. We bought ice cream across the street and expected to have a nice Sunday afternoon in the park for thirty minutes or so… we tried sitting on the steps of a business on the opposite side of Dunn Street but the shrubbery nearby was probably soaked in urine based on the stench. We simply left at that point….. No other Indiana city of the same size and population has a homeless population of 1 % of that of Bloomington and that is directly attributable to the fact that Bloomington attracts these people by virtue of feeding them and enabling them unlike anywhere else in Indiana. I’ve lived in and near Bloomington since 1974 and this has simply gotten totally out of hand.
