The home is a new built house, the landscape is still under construction by the builder, Bardi Builders, LLC. There are 2 potholes on the road margin in front of the property. Please investigate, they caused many cars to fall into, due to moderately heavy traffic and small road without shoulders.

The mailbox post that is shared between myself and two other household (renting from same person) is so rusted that it no longer seems safe. Should the landlord of the two other homes be notified? Who is in charge of replacing it, and how can this be done? It seems that if the very rusty pole is removed, how will the new one be installed? Further up the street, people installed mailbox posts in large buckets of concrete. Does the city really want this? By the way, the property where the post is installed belongs to my neighbors - whose mailbox is on Guy street.
I appreciate your help with this matter.

collection truck seems to have knocked over my trash bin but not taken away my trash (mostly baby's used diapers!). What do I do?

On the south end of the Jackson Creek Trail off of the Sherwood Oaks Park. In the wooded part of the tail that connect to stairs and up into the neighborhood. There are very large trees that have fallen and are blocking the trail making it impassable. I came down to the trail by the stairs and was unable to pass. The stairs are in between 3831 & 3825 S. Linda’s Way. Also, the smell down there is horrible. Smells like sewage, this is new for that area. Thank you!!

I have been informed of plans to remove a planting of native trees designed to be critical riparian buffer in Schmalz Farm Park. This is an ecologically unsound decision, and is extremely wasteful as many of these trees may not survive being transplanted twice in such a short amount of time. It's been made clear to me that this decision was made at the behest of a single constituent who called in a personal favor to the deputy mayor. I believe this is undemocratic and nepotistic, and prioritizes the aesthetic goals of a single individual ocert the public benefit of this planting, which will help protect Jackson Creek from runoff and floods which threaten fish and amphibians downstream. I would urge the city to listen to the voices of all constituents, not just those with personal connections to politicians, and to act in the best interest of not just your constituents but also the environment, and allow the planting to remain. There is no shortage of fields for re-creating at this park and at many parks nearby, but few areas for the city to invest in urban greenspace with benefits for humans and nonhumans alike.

S Laura Way is on a signed, much used bicycle route. Going north from S Jamie Ln it goes downhill for 0.2 miles. A bicycle going down this hill will reach a high speed at the bottom where there is a deep pothole. This road hazard could easily damage a bicycle or flip it over. It is located at 3813 S Laura Way. This pothole should be repaired.

The yard hasn't been mowed since last fall and is very overgrown with poison ivy, invasive wintercreeper vines and other weeds that are spilling over into my property.

I noticed that someone planted a large number of small trees in an open space in the park. I think it is fantastic that our city is taking these steps to protect it's soils and watersheds, while developing beautiful green spaces. One if the reasons I moved to Bloomington was this progressive attitude.
