Corner of W. 8th St. and Williams (and on Williams towards 9th). There's some gravel both in the road and collecting in the storm drains. Could this be collected out of the way? Thank you!

I found my trash can like this after this morning's pickup. My guess is that it was replaced too close to (or partially in) the road after pickup and it was struck by a vehicle. I also noticed another bin on my block with this same kind of damage.

Trash from dumpster and donations left are littered throughout property and along Diamond Ave., W. Cottage Grove, Morevac Way and B-Line trail. The dumpster needs to be removed, contained or relocated. If the sources of litter are better managed the city wouldn’t appear so trashy. Homeowners and businesses need to be held accountable for the trash in our city generated from their properties. We should strive to do better. Maybe the next administration will take charge and help us get back to the beautiful Bloomington we used to have.

Can the mayor or risk management or the lawyers or human resources please explain what safety policies are? Who is in charge of the virus response? A coworker in another department told me yesterday that city workers are to wear masks now if around others, but our director isn't and coworkers aren't. We all are supposed to have cloth masks aren't we? Everything is super unclear or not followed. Who is even supposed to be at work? And definitely most folks walking around aren't masked it doesn't sound like. Can a mass email go out? Or an online meeting or something?

I tried to describe this issue over the phone but the street dept. employee only wanted to blame my driveway for destroying the city street. What?? The problem is the street gutters. When the 800 block of Briarcliff was repaved about 6 years ago, it was ground down and the asphalt was carried into the gutter and made for a smooth transition to the remaining gutter concrete. The 900 block of Briarcliff was not ground down and repaved at that time. We are still waiting for the rest of Briarcliff to be repaved properly. In the 900 block the street's asphalt is approx. 3 inches higher than the concrete gutter so when you include the yard side of the gutter we have one enormous gully. I know of one broken ankle because of this and two weeks ago the Amazon driver twisted his ankle stepping into the gully getting out of his truck. I had asked about putting concrete in the gully in front of my mailbox and was told by street employee NO, that would destroy the street. So what can be done to either pave the gutter in the 900 block like the 800 block or grind down the street pavement in the 900 block so it makes a smooth transition with the gutter. I know what I would do but the city owns the street. We on the 900 block pay the same city tax rate as the 800 block so I think we should have the same street setup. I did ask the street employee to bring out a two wheel drive vehicle and try to drive through the gutter. Not surprised no one showed up. Thanks
