Huge pile of refuse on the north side of building with boxes, recycling, etc., strewn about all over and piled up making places for rodents to dig through and creating a fire hazard. Elevate says this is an IU property (?) so not sure what can be done, if anything. Originally a beautiful building, but it now looks Third World - current inhabitants are irresponsible, inconsiderate, and/or oblivious, whoever they are.
crows had attacked the back parking lot early Dec 17th. My wife and I cleaned up the back parking lot Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday afternoon I went to Lowes and bought two fake Horned Owls and placed them on my air conditioner units. The next day Dec 20th there were no signs of crow activity from the night before.

So are front yard beer pong giant parties allowed with the executive order? Ridiculous. Just west of campus on North side of 10th. Please tell me cops can tell these idiots to stop.
Dear city, I would like to send sincere appreciation for Hank Duncan of the city Pedestrian and Cycling department. He is highly creative and a real pleasure to work with - and is a true asset to the city for his willingness to be a partner in city bike safety. Thank you, Hank - and well done! Craig Medlyn, Bloomington Bicycle Club, Safety Director
Bricks surrounding this sewer grate in front of our local business were missing on Sunday 9/6/20. A city staff member who was in his truck next door offered to temporarily remedy it and came back to do so...the brickwork is not finished and needs to be professionally installed, as it's still a hazard to pedestrians. Too much space sits between the bricks and they are not securely in place. Thank you (and JD Boruff) for working on this, and past sidewalk issues along this block of East Kirkwood.
