On the far east end of the brick sidewalk out front, nearly against the retaining wall of 311 E. Cottage Grove and alongside the alley is what remains of what was probably a former street sign pole. It was broken off at some point about 8 inches from the ground. The remaining stump of a steel pole is still there, and it is *VERY* sharp on the tip. It was painted yellow at some point - possibly an attempt to make this hazard visible, but that doesn't help at night. Someone could trip on it, or worse, someone could trip on something else and fall and be impaled on the spike at the top of it. Please remove it ASAP, but whoever removes it needs to understand how to lay bricks because after removal the bricks will need to be relaid and perhaps some will need replacement. Also, no need to replace the sign because there hasn't been one there in a long time and it was ridiculous in the first place to install a sign in a sidewalk where someone could walk right into it in the dark.

IU Packer trucks are having a hard time getting access to trash containers along 9th because cars are parking along the curb. The sidewalk was recently re-done but curbs have not been painted. Thanks Jill

It was reported to me that one of the stop signs at Grant and Alice had been damaged. I did not see it. A citizen texted me. >>>>>> text below: Hey, realize this isn't exactly your department, but someone has turned stop and street sign at Grant/Alice intersection 90 degrees

Rental permit should not be renewed until property owner repairs the sidewalk in front of house. It is highly degraded and dangerous.

Homeless people are again living in People’s Park. They’re using drugs, fighting, leaving trash everywhere, screaming and yelling, urinating and defecating and have taken over most of the benches and tables. It also appears that they are sleeping there overnight. We bought ice cream across the street and expected to have a nice Sunday afternoon in the park for thirty minutes or so… we tried sitting on the steps of a business on the opposite side of Dunn Street but the shrubbery nearby was probably soaked in urine based on the stench. We simply left at that point….. No other Indiana city of the same size and population has a homeless population of 1 % of that of Bloomington and that is directly attributable to the fact that Bloomington attracts these people by virtue of feeding them and enabling them unlike anywhere else in Indiana. I’ve lived in and near Bloomington since 1974 and this has simply gotten totally out of hand.

The traffic lights for eastbound traffic on 7th St between College Ave and Walnut Street are out-of-sync. Traffic is being held at both lights which does not allow traffic to clear both intersections.

I submitted a request earlier regarding the alley behind 530 N Lincoln Street. This is a similar request. The alley that runs alongside of the building and behind is in atrocious shape. There are numerous potholes posing a risk to any vehicle traveling on the road.

The alley that runs alongside this building and behind it is littered with potholes and nearly impassable. This has been an issue for years, and the last time it was "fixed" someone came out and only took care of a few potholes. This was obviously not an adequate solution, as there are still insanely deep and wide potholes which pose a hazard to my car, and any that travel in this back alley.

Nasty and small pot hole right at the crosswalk on 7th and Walnut.

The ally that runs between 530 N Lincoln and 526 Lincoln is really rough with pot holes, it's hard to drive though. The ally that runs behind the building is horrific. After a rain there is a pond that forms, which is about 10 ft in diameter. The surface is also very rough with deep pot holes.
