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.

Hello. The alleyway next to our house has become almost impassable due to erosion. We have to go down it in order to park and there is a high risk of us damaging our vehicles. The recent rain has made the alleyway significantly worse.

Construction debris that has been here for years
Just north of 926 S. Highland Ave., a 15 ft area of the west side of the street (and storm drain) has crumbled to gravel-size and larger chunks of asphalt. As result of an earlier complaint, a small part was patched with blacktop that has now crumbled. My concern is not the ugly appearance. If we have a 5-10 year rain storm, the runoff down S. Highland easily will clog the storm drain underneath a parking area (owned by the city) in front for my home and likely will flood the first level of my home. I have observed the enormous flow of water in the storm drain during normal heavy rain and am certain an unusual downpour will now cause flooding. Please consider sending a truck to remove the street/storm drain debris.
The green park bench on E. Southdowns just to the west of the intersection with Highland Avenue (near 1212 E. Southdowns Drive, on the north side of the street opposite the houses) has been damaged. The bench is off of its base/legs and just on the ground now. This could use some help to gets its legs back under it so people can take a load off of their legs and rest!
