The construction at the B-Line and Kirkwood is getting out of hand. I believe that someone will get hurt because there is just so much activity. Traffic is coming/going from several directions - Morton, Kirkwood, the B-Line and the construction equipment. Additionally, their construction materials are slowly moving in to the travel lanes, often block Kirkwood anyways. It would be best to just close Kirkwood to traffic at least during the day. It is also hazardous at 4th and the B-Line. I cat n's traffic coming from the west on 4th Street when traveling south on the B-Line.

During the past week, I've noticed that Clear Creek Trail and certain parts of the B-Line Trail (southernmost) have become exceptionally buggy. I've lived in Bloomington since 2009 and used both trails regularly since then -- and this is the time of year when the mosquitoes, gnats, and other critters tend to increase in population. But this year is the WORST I've seen it in my 5-plus years here. In those areas where it is possible, it seems some spraying/other mitigation is in order to keep the critters in check! It got so bad last week I literally cut one of my runs short (despite wearing hat, sunglasses, and Deep Woods Off), drove back to my neighborhood on the east side, and finished the run on the streets over there (where there is no trail, but far fewer bugs). In addition, I am aware that a good portion of the Clear Creek Trail runs adjacent to some sewer lines. But usually, only in 1-2 places do you ever get a whiff of it and usually it's very brief. No big deal. Well, this past week, much of the lower half of the trail (the area south of where the overflow water tends to flood the trail after heavy rainfall) has carried a very consistent and moderate "poo" smell. And I'm pretty sure it's not coming from the four-legged running companions who like to use the trail as well and do their natural business. I'm not sure if there is a way to mitigate the smell somehow or if the sewers are unusually backed up or what -- but the smell has become such in past week where it might deter some from using the trail (if the bugs don't chase them off first) unless something is either done or the smell subsides naturally. Again, I've lived in B-Town for 5-plus years and have never encountered the smell on the CCT being near this strong -- or nearly continuous along the southern half -- as it is now. Just thought I'd bring this to your attention; I know that in talking with other runners/walkers/joggers, they are having bug/smell problems as well. Thanks for your time and attention to this issue -- Bill H.

Neighbors have left trash out like this for many weeks: insufficient containers, weak bags that have been dug into by birds and raccoons. It looks like the tenants have just left for the summer; there are no longer cars in their driveway. Please let the landlord know that this problem should be addressed immediately and cannot continue.

Tenants at 516 E. University have left trash in this state for at least a week, and have been doing so for months. Insufficient cans, and bags easily broken into by birds and raccoons, both of which I've witnessed. Tenants seem to be gone for the summer. Please let the landlord know this is unacceptable.

Huge pothole on the freeway entrance from the 90th Street and 35W heading north. This is my 2nd time reporting this pothole. The pothole is so big that someone will blow out a tire or two when hit it.
