(Not really "street repair" but I couldn't find the right category): The eastbound Stop sign on Maxwell @ Highland, in Elm Heights, is OFTEN ignored. I have seen cars race right through it without even the pretense of slowing down. On foot, I have jumped out behind the car as it sped on, waving my hands and shouting "STOP SIGN!!", and once a driver waved an acknowledgment. Another time, driving north on Highland, I turned and followed the offender, honking and blinking my lights hoping s/he would notice that someone had noticed and be alert next time. The Stop sign is quite visible, not obscured by overhanging trees, so I am stumped. But I wonder if it could be moved closer to the road, enlarged, painted (the post too) a more neon/catchy red, and/or moved to the CENTER of the intersection (tricky for the snowplows, I know), and/or a "Stop-sign alert" sign added well before, or maybe it could be removed altogether with appropriate alerts posted for the north/south drivers, which might be safer than assuming people will stop. This is a potentially lethal situation for drivers, bikers, and walkers in a very pedestrian-heavy neighborhood. Thanks.
Hello! I want to report that there is a lot of poison ivy at the NW corner of S Grant and E Allen St, 47401. This is right along the edge of the street on S Grant. We live at 909 S Grant, just up the hill, with two small kiddos, so we're constantly stressed out about balls, etc, rolling across the street and down into the poison ivy patches. I think this is technically right of way/city property if it is this close to the street? Not sure. I remember seeing in the past somewhere to report poison ivy, but now can't find it, so I'm just reporting it under misc and other. If there is any kind of city program to come remove poison ivy, I'd love to see it happen at that corner. There is a ton of ivy growing up a light post on that corner as well, some of it along the bottom might be poison ivy, not all of it is (that is mostly virginia creeper? something like that - the 5 leaf variety.)
Downed street sign post that needs to be picked up.
Found a city ballard (sp?) in the alley. Post protector thingy. And thought you might want it back!

This complaint was issued to the Monroe County Branch of the NAACP BY Mr. Marlon Smith. December 3 2021 between 4p-4:30pm my 11 year old son was physically assaulted by a school bus driver for mccsc transportation the incident happen while my son was aboard the school bus in route home and the approximate location/place at the time of the incident are streets Leighton and Wickens(The Highlands),however immediately after learning of the incident I headed for mccsc school transportation fast as I could drive, calling 911 in route.BPD officer Tibbs and BDP officer Kruse responded to the call.Although the incident happened in vicinity to where Monroe County Sheriff Department would respond a Bloomington Officer responded and handled the proceeded to perform an investigation.Officer Tibbs myself Lucas Smith,Noah Smith,mccsc Brad Lucas and transportation supervisor were all in a room at mccsc transportation department. Officer Tibbs interviewed my children.The exact day of the incident December 3 2021 Officer Tibbs said he would not file charges on the bus driver "without" 1.examining my son injury for any sign of bruise/marking from the bus driver grabbing my son 2.Without speaking to the school bus driver at all 3.Without interviewing any witnesses/students from the school bus who actually observed the incident besides my children 4.Without verifying if there was video footage available 5.Without ever seeing medical documentation related to my son injury from health care physician Brad Lucas and other staff at mccsc never once showed concern for my son injury they didn't ask to see the area on my son leg that the bus driver injured and they never had the driver submit to a drug screen to see if he see if he was under the influence.I was told by Brad Lucas school bus driver that assaulted my son was allowed to take the bus home on weekends and so he never did arrive at the mccsc transportation office while I was there December 3 2021 and I was there at least 2 hours.On December 3 2021 As far as I know Brad Lucas,mccsc transportation supervisor had not spoke to the driver and neither did officer Tibbs interview the driver on this particular day.Brad Lucas told me that he would review video footage over the that weekend December 4th 2021 Officer Tibbs winding down his interview with my children without asking to see any physical evidence of the assault said he would not file charges on this driver this is Jeff Hauswald school district and he isn't doing anything.December 6 2021 mccsc school bus transportation told me there was no video of the incident although supposedly all busses are equipped with the latest state of the art safety and video surveillance to protect our children. DCS in involved however DCS is doing a extremely terrible lazy job.Althought the driver admitted to physical grabbing my son to Department of Children Services the DCS case worker Trina Staten is telling me that without video footage of the incident she can't prove the driver had malicious intent.He grabbed my son near his genitals and DCS caseworker is saying she doesn't know if there was malicious intent.The bus driver isn't supposed to touch the kids period in general they are not supposed to touch kids and this bus driver not only touched my son he assaulted him and nobody is doing anything and I strongly feel the driver did this and felt comfortable enough to do it is because my son is black and as well law enforcement feel they don't have to respect an African American or my family its like they just tell us get over it and deal with it.Officer Tibbs so much as told me that it seemed like the driver was dealing with a situation on the bus as if that justify grabbing my son between his legs hard enough to cause bleeding.My son is bi sexual and just was starting to be comfortable with who he is and understanding what he identify with and this driver doing something so heinous is uncalled for and my son needs therapy and further medical attention.I have called the Bloomington Police Department to speak to Officer Tibbs shift supervisor several times and not once did a supervisor contact me the bus driver who identity I do not know could very wheel still be driving school bus with student aboard.On December 3 2021 the day of the incident as I was in my vehicle leaving the mccsc transportation department I clearly saw Brad Lucas talking to officer Tibbs who by then was in his patrol car.Although I don't know what they were discussing it looked damned suspicious and definitely a conversation outside of the one we all had inside the mccsc transportation .Please help cause they are just trying to blow me off and sweep this matter under the rug they don't give a damn about my son or what he suffer. I'm very disappointed its sad that all the resources and advocate supposed to be for children not even doing anything and this driver who identity I still don't know could very well be driving school bus with students still he never submitted to a drug and alcohol screen following the incident and this is something DCS should have even checked for drugs in the bus driver system.The bus driver was white and my son is black so of course the mccsc or police not doing anything they lied to DCS and just moving on.Im a black man and had I been that driver and touched a white kid I'd definitely loose my job they would throw me under the jail with several felony charges on me and I'd have to submit to a drug screen.This man not only assaulted my son he basically groped and molested him and nobody doing anything Thank you Marlon Smith 812 272 2208

Our neighbor in 630 E Ridge Crest Ct (in the building on the map, he is in the top left apartment facing the parking lot) has refused to put his German Shepard on a leash. This dog has ran at and attempted to attack our dog, and has ran at other dogs in the complex as well. We have complained to the management office, who said after the third time reporting to report to Animal Control next time we saw it, and to get a picture of it. He also has another German Shepard that was on leash at the time of the picture, but I have seen both of them off leash. I do not want to worry about a dog attack while walking my dog at my apartment.
