The homeless are camping out in the lot next to us again. Could someone come out and put up the orange fence
The location looks like a junkyard a lot of junk on the outside of the house
Hello. I am a Bloomington resident residing at 110 1/2 W 6th St. My apartment entrance is in an alleyway off of 6th between Walnut and College. While this alley has normal amounts of debris, there seem to be many unsafe wires dangling from the various poles and buildings. My main concern is with the alley behind my building. The entrance is off of Walnut between "Btown Diner" and "Samira" restaurants. There is an abundance of trash, grease, vomit, bugs, defecation, and cigarettes throughout the space that causes a repulsive smell and attracts many rodents. This is a very unsanitary environment that workers from the businesses(restaurants especially) on 6th Street take their breaks in. I am not sure the best course of action but I would suggest having the businesses clean their trash bins in addition to having the city power wash the grease and other various fluids off the pavement. I would appreciate a response. Thank you, Ryan
The drive/alleyway to the left of my residence is unlit and pitch black at night. It is dangerous to walk to and from my car or trash bins at night. I spoke with my landlord and he said that it is city property. I would like some kind of streetlight or floodlight installed.
In response to uReport case #178550, if the property owner has had to repeatedly paint over graffiti, then perhaps the built environment could be examined to see if any improvements could be made that would benefit the property owner as well as residents. A walk down that street at night reveals pitch black darkness. There is a light at the T intersection of Fairview and 11th, but the illumination does not reach around the bend in Fairview. The property has a light in their lot which actually causes the sidewalk on Fairview to be even darker in contrast. It has never felt safe as a pedestrian or cyclist but that can be remedied by personal use of lights. However, having the street illuminated could help to make it less hospitable for delinquent behavior as well as the wonderful bonus of increased safety for non-motorist travelers. Lastly, vehicles regularly speed down the decline on 11th, fail to stop at the stop sign, and continue around the bend on Fairview. I would think that increased illumination would be helpful to those motorists who are already driving recklessly. Thank you.
The number of broken streetlights along Rogers and Kinser Pike is absolutely unreal. I counted at least ten between 2nd and Upper Cascades. Please also fix the two broken lights at 4th/Gentry and 4th/College.
Some minor brickwork needed in front of Village Deli. Nothing urgent. No obstruction.
Electric bicycle lying in the grass on Dunn Street just north of the bagel shop. Has been there quite awhile.
We used to have a street light on this corner (7th & Hay), but the pole fell on my house. It was replaced with one without a light. Any way we could get a light put on it?
