There are 4 discarded tires (large ones) on this property, in the alley, the one parallel to 6th st. It's been several weeks. Clearly they have been dumped here, encouraged by the general mess around this house.
Not shoveling snow
There is a yellow plug in the concrete that is a tripping hazard.
There is a discarded couch on the side of the building located on 4th and College. It needs to be removed from beside this business. When I walked passed it, the smell of urine is becoming more pungent. That particular item was not properly discarded by a college age resident that was formally living in on top of the unit DOWN THE STREET.
a dumpster is sitting in and blocking the bike lane. this can get a bit hairy if there's other traffic.
Two bricks are missing from the decorative sidewalk in front of the Waldron's Walnut St entrance. Can they be replaced? Concerned about a trip hazard.
On 4th st (n side ) in front of WFHB, 91.3. Light is out or not turning on.
The storm drain grate on the northwest corner of 6th & College is missing a bar and the gap is wide enough that a bicycle tire could drop into it and cause injury to the writer and damage to the bike.
I tried to use this area to have a quick meeting with colleagues before going to an appointment at a business on the square. This area was unavailable due to the mess. Balloons, needles, beverage cans, etc. (The yoga mat is mine.) Further, these benches are damaged and appear to be unmaintained. I then moved to the corner of the square where no needles were visible. There I was immediately solicited by panhandlers twice. All of this is unacceptable and I hope to see these areas cleaned and maintained on a proper schedule. The frequency with which I am required to defend myself physically against panhandlers here is becoming unbearable. It is unsafe to be downtown in Bloomington, Indiana.
Since the end of the construction on 17th St, a crosswalk sign along with its pole has been lying on the ground. Several times, because it was an obstacle on the sidepath, I moved it to the side. The crosswalk is over 17th St just east of N Arlington Park Dr. It has curb cuts for a cross walk while it's not painted in the street. The sign should be either put up or taken away.
