There is a light on a utility pole at the dead-end of S. College Ave. This dead-end location is used as access to the B-Line trail. Unfortunately, there have been car break-ins along this street. I own the home at 1605 S. College Ave. and we've had 2 car break-ins at this location. It appears that the thief is using the access to the trail as a dark and quick get-away. This light needs repaired to prevent crime in this area.
A part of the road along the temp Cascades trail along Old 37 washed away between Saturday and Sunday.
Old 37 & n walnut. The ped xing across walnut (part of the cascades trail that connects to griffy) is still / again broken. I stayed for five minutes, pushed the beg buttons lots of times, tried both directions. Always the red hand, never the white walk. The intersection is cycling normally and promptly for cars. The crossing of old 37 appears to be operating in ped recall mode (ie, working), though its countdown timer is misconfigured. But the high-stress crossing of walnut is versnickered. I get sick when i think how many millions of dollars we've spent on this recreational facility to still have this gap in the most dangerous part.
Several areas of this trail are overgrown making it difficult to walk let alone bike.
THANK YOU for keeping the path clear of leaves this fall. It has enhanced our walk each day. We also appreciate the two new "bridges" across the path where water used to stand. Very nice. I'm wondering if the southern most "bridge" will get a railing of some kind. It seems a little precarious for walkers who might lose their balance. Thanks for considering this safety feature.
Fallen tree limb on the Rogers Rd multiuse path.
The homeless have again made a large mess along the creek near Patterson. Much of it can be seen from Patterson near the creek and bridge. There are derelict tents, food trash, needles, mattresses,
Yesterday morning, right after my kids jumped on the bus, a city waste truck came to do pick-up with a confederate flag license in the front dash. Please have it removed. For some, it is a symbol of hate and violence.Thank you
We replaced counter tops and sink in remodeling our kitchen. I can haul the old formica counter tops to the dump...or wherever...where do I go? I am assuming there is a charge by weight of the refuse. Thanks, jim
Failure to pick up Trash. I am incredibly disappointed in the city's handling of trash today as we switch to the new system of trash pick up. Nowhere in the handouts given to us about the new system did it say that we can not start using the new bins right away but then today as you drive all over Bloomington all you can see is full cans of trash with a "notice" that the trash was not picked up because it should have been set out in the old way with trash tags and such. This is infuriating. Now we all have to keep our festering, rotting garbage for another week because it was NEVER stated that this couldn't be done immediately. Even your own website simply states: "The new modernized system will formally go into operation beginning on October 2, 2017." This message does not at all clearly say that we have to wait until then to use the new bins. If anything it just makes it seem like it may take that long to get everyone bins and set up properly. Also, and maybe the most maddening part was the fact that when the new recycling bins were used THE RECYCLING WASN'T PICKED UP EITHER. What possible excuse is there for this? We don't even pay for recycling, it's not like the trash where, apparently, if you took it today it was for free. Now we have to wait TWO WEEKS for recycling for literally no reason. Maybe next time you will have learned how to make things clear so that the city isn't literally overflowing with garbage. Your very disappointed resident, Alyssa Ball
