Bloomington Sanitation Department, At 3 AM of Wednesday, August 8, 2020 on the morning of trash pickup day at 1412 S. Winfield Rd., 47401, my wife was up watching a recorded news program when a crash was heard from the bottom of our driveway where the cans awaited pickup. The bang was followed by a loud dragging sound. She walked to the bottom of the drive and found the landscaping can in the recycling can were gone. She woke me and we searched for the cans until we found them three doors south on the Boulevard of the Southwest corner of the Moores Pike roundabout. At first I thought at 3 AM, it must've been a drunk. However, the more I thought about it, the more unlikely I thought it would be that a drunk would be able to retain the cans for 50 yards. Retaining the cans brings me to the question which I thought worth sharing with the city. I cannot think of any way to carry the cans that far without damaging one's vehicle other than the way the city does it – hooking a lifter up under the bar built-into the can. If a prankster is trying to develop a "trick-or-treat… Throw your garbage in the streets" system, the potential chaos it could create for the city sanitation system seems to me to be huge and I would recommend that the city proactively try to answer the following questions. 1.) Have any of the lifting mechanisms used by the city trucks ever disappeared? 2.) Since this system is presumably used throughout the country, can such a lifter be bought online? 3.) Are there any YouTube videos about how to make a lifter that someone could have been testing on Winfield Road? 4.) Has the company from which the city purchased the cans and lifters had experience with cans being fiddled with when they are sitting ducks beside the road the night before garbage pickup? If so, what did these other municipalities do about it? I got my cans and my trash back in time to leave it out for pickup, but the next victim might not be so lucky. Thanks for your attention, Eric Mjolsnes

Bushes were trimmed but still low and require anyone over 5’8” to duck down to pass.

I don’t know what kind of people were hired, but this intersection is HORRIBLE. It’s dangerous, and people are going to get hurt

You made a mess out of this intersection. The traffic lines are crooked and northbound traffic slows tremendously going through the intersection as right lane cars are going left of center into the passing lane. This was not an issue before the construction that made oversized corner sidewalks. The corner sidewalks are too large for the traffic flow and design.

The intersection of Sare Rd and Moore’s Pike has become a dangerous and confusing jumble of traffic lanes. There are no clear markings on Sare Rd going north and south at the intersection. The traffic lines left from the construction project causes cars to veer in to the wrong lanes. This should be addressed immediately

There are conflicting signs and road markings at this intersection. People are forced to dangerously merge all the time. Please fix the road markings before someone gets hurt.

Lane paint not clear north bound on sare Rd. It's 2 lanes but you see the old lane paint clearer and it almost looks like it turns into 1 lane so I have almost been hit multiple times in the right lane since it looks like it disappears

There are no road stripings or signs at this intersection. It’s a mess and it’s dangerous, especially heading north on Sare through the intersection.

Finish this construction already. The west bound turn lane onto E moore's pike is still partially unpaved. One must dip half of their vehicle into unpaved asphalt. Additionally, the signage is incorrect/outdated at this intersection. Finish the job you started.

Hi, I was almost hit by another car from narrowed right lane after city done the s college mall rd/E Moores Pike project. Can you put up a clear sign telling the drivers "right lane must turn Right" from S sare rd to S college mall rd to avoid possible accident? Thanks
