This racecar track has been left on the sidewalk for several days. Toys at this residence are normally a minor problem, but I had to walk in the road to give room for a dog and its owner to get by.

This racecar track is still blocking the sidewalk and the original report--case #186097--hasn't progressed. Can you assign a different person to this case that might address this issue?

The city or a utility installed a new sidewalk. There are multiple pieces of rebar sticking straight up about eight inches on each side. The sidewall is marked with two orange construction cones. I presume the workers will be back at some point, but I don’t know when. Halloween brings a lot of foot traffic in this neighborhood, and I think folks may ignore the cones. It would be greatly appreciated if the rebar could be trimmed or otherwise handled before then. Thank you.

I have spoken to three different people this morning working for the parking department, all of whom have been unhelpful and rude. Each time I have an interaction with anyone from the parking department, it is unpleasant and unprofessional. This behavior is unacceptable for any person to behave in this way, especially someone who is employed by my government. In the first incident, I politely asked the woman why I was recieving a ticket and that I did not understand. She was rude and unhelpful. After this, I called the number printed on my ticket and spoke to the parking manager, also asking her why I had received my ticket; as well as voicing my concern about the way that I was previously treated. Instead of offering to make the situation right, she lectured me on how "more people should care about accessibility issues" and that since I was blocking the sidewalk entrance, she "hopes I never end up in a wheelchair and need to access the sidewalk". After politely bringing the first woman to her attention, I was immediately met with MORE uncalled for disrespect. I then followed up and called the second woman's boss. Thankfully, I understand now why I got the ticket, but I do not trust that the situation has been handled. However, each person in this department clearly needs to take a course in customer service.

Pothole on sidewalk between N college and 10th. Tripped on it this morning and injured my ankle

At 4219 Deckard Dr. in Eastern Heights, there is a small blue Mazda which daily is parked facing the wrong way in front of this house, despite a very wide and accessible driveway a few feet away. This parking causes MCCSC buses, City of Bloomington Snow and Salt trucks, and neighborhood traffic to dodge hazardously around this car on a regular basis. It would be a good thing if the owner could be advised and encouraged to park in a manner that does not inconvenience the rest of the community.
Thank you.

Water draining across the yard and down the sidewalk at 1220 E Hunter. It was spewing out intermittently Wednesday morning (Feb 23 2022). Is that a violation of municipal code 12.04.020 - Discharge of water on sidewalk?
It is unlawful for any person owning or controlling any building in the city adjacent to an improved sidewalk to permit water to run from a downspout attached to such building onto and over such sidewalk.
(Prior code § 23-4).
It was likely to freeze and make walking hazardous.
Thank you.
