On the west side of Rogers just south of 11th Street. The trouble is they really need to be clearing this three or four times a day because the unimproved driveway situation is really severe. But instead they don't even clear it when they install the barricades and go home at night. So it's always always a mess. If you meet it in the middle of the day they've just driven giant tractor tired equipment over it dumping literally a pound of mud with every trip. If you come in the evening or the morning it's still messy cuz they didn't clear it when they installed the barricades when they went home at night. should I just stop reporting these I don't know if I'm wasting your time I just figure that when a construction project uses a sidewalk as a driveway that doesn't mean that every pedestrian should get muddy feet or slide on sand. Is that insane? Am I asking too much? I'm clearly asking too much. But just tell me do you want to hear about this?

Just south of 11th on west side walk of rogers. Sand, mud, gravel on sidewalk. After my last ureport on dec 7, they cleaned it up!!! First time since i started reporting it. But here they went home for the day last night, installed the baricades, and left crud all over the sidewalk. Sorry toget in your business but i think its their job to proactively comply, not yours to remind them every day. Nor mine. It has been dirty so far every day this werk and today the weathering has again reached the point where tthe sandy spots are slick

When it rains, water sheds to the west off the B-Line and drops sediment on the sidewalk along Kirkwood. It seems preferable that the water would shed toward Morton Street where the storm water drains can do their job. The sediment deposit from the rain last week is still covering the sidewalk on the north side of Kirkwood.

There is a gap with no sidewalk on South Rockport Rd going down the hill after passing CountryView Apts. This is very dangerous, because you have to walk on the road which is on a hill into oncoming traffic to get to the rest of the sidewalk. I use this (broken) sidewalk alot with my children to go to the park. But after a close call of a car swerved to miss us & almost got hit by another car that was coming over the hill. I know alot of people use this sidewalk & its been long over due to be fixed. I hope this & more sidewalks in this area will be on the agenda this year. Thank You

Please have public streetlights installed at the entrance of Whittington Commons on Allen Street. It is very dark, and it is difficult to see entrance. I know this is a private road within WC, but Allen is a public street and it is a hazard to not have streetlights at entrance given the public sidewalk crosses the entrance. Light it up!

Dear Mayor Hamilton and the city of Bloomington, I am contacting you and your office regarding the problem with the deer in our neighborhood. Once again, the deer are a problem for us and they are outright dangerous. I am not sure what the city is planning on doing with the problem, but I almost feel like I want to hire a sniper (and I am an animal lover) to get them off of our property or now purchase a BB gun. I am not a violent person, but I am at my wits end regarding this issue. Will the city only do something once a deer kills a child? I have heard of stories of dogs being killed by deer as well as homes being trashed by deer who have somehow gotten into somebody's home. The latest is that my wife got a broken ankle because of a deer and it required a trip to the ER at Bloomington hospital along with missed work for both of us. Luckily we have health insurance, but for those who don't...it is a very expensive endeavor that could have been avoided if the city would do something to cull these animals. Lately we have seen a herd of 8 deer roaming around Somax. I would like your opinion on how you plan to fix this problem because I do see this as a problem in our city and especially our neighborhood. Also, I heard that the city has a 2 million dollar surplus this year and wondered if that meant we would finally get the sidewalk and repair of the dangerous culvert that has been promised to the former owners of our house as well as to us. Our taxes go up every year (Judy Sharp just assessed another increas of $50,000 to our home value which raised our taxes again quite drastically). We can't seem to ever get a break from her with her assessments every year and it is quite frustrating. Every year we pay more and more taxes and get absolutely nothing for it. Again, I would appreciate your thoughts on this matter. Thanks. Best, Ingrid Faber 1104 S. Covenanter Drive Bloomington, IN 47401

2 Bird scooter, parallel to each other, taking up half of sidewalk, south side Hunter at Woodlawn. The companies want them convenient for pickup? (Could be worse since there is room still to walk
