There is graffiti all the way down the sidewalks on Smith Ave, between Lincoln and Henderson Streets. The graffiti says "FTP" and "F12" which means "F*ck the Police." I am a student and just moved in. I heard Bloomington is very welcoming, but this graffiti did not make me feel welcome. I hope it can be removed before classes start and more students come back.
car parked yellow curb
This truck has been parked for months and is taking up multiple spots. The owner clearly has zero intention of using the vehicle and is depriving residents in the vicinity of at least one, if not two, parking places. It has been ticketed at least once, and the ticket is still there.
Neighbors ignore the 4 foot free on either side of drive daily, this dude parked a further foot in drive, impairing visibility and access to drive. Yellow curb markings need to be repainted, hoping that will cut down on illegal parking. Almost got creamed pulling out last weekend as neighbor had extended cab pickup extending into drive on one side and car on the other. Please help before there’s a serious accident!
Somehow the leaves in front of my house and my neighbors on either side as well as those on Park toward Maxwell were all missed. We had them raked in time but the truck must have just missed this block
The flowers in front of Ami restaurant are in the way and you can't see traffic coming if you are turning left onto 3rd St off of Swain Ave
Tall hedges on SE corner lot of Hunter and Ballantine obscure view when taking a left onto Ballantine from Hunter.
New group that lives in the house are constantly parking in yellow at the intersection causing a traffic hazard. This is already a difficult intersection to see.
The first four street lamps east of Henderson/Indiana have a weird, purple haze that make it difficult to see at night. Glaring and annoying. Same issue with first two lamps east of Woodlawn. These are all on the south side of Atwater.
In the first three months of 2022, we had a number of workers (it seems from various companies) over about 2 months showing up to put up a new power pole in our backyard. We did not request this. One group, when asked said that someone would be back to take down the old pole which was marked with 2 large Xs in white paint (an eyesore). No one every came. At one point, one crew took down part of our back fence and ran equipment over the property line killing our ground cover and grass and killing a rhodendrum bush. I called Duke Energy weeks ago to inquire, but they never got back to me.
