Any way the stop e signs can get extra visible on N Smith ? People drive through n and s all the time without stopping. Skid marks are there now. Today almost was his by one car as I turned out of Morningside and saw another later in the day go through. I know lights may not work, unless there is solar?, But I'm pretty sure I've seen other ways of emphasizing a stop sign. Please and thank you. Especially since a bike path east/west too.

the western end of Morningside Drive--west of Smith Road--has long been unsafe because there are no sidewalks. There are several families with young children, many residents walking dogs and walking to the park, and sidewalks would greatly improve general safety. thanks.

I live at 3500 E Morningside Drive in Bloomington (47408), and there is quite a bit of water rushing through the culvert along Morningside drive, coming from the east. I expect there is a water main break somewhere east of my house. (2/2/2019 - 7:44 a.m.)

Thank you for putting down straw and grass seed in Park Ridge Park as well as putting out more playground fill!

The bollard at the head of the Polly Grimshaw Trail has broken off its base. The bollard itself is next to the trail out of the way. At this point, there is no protection of the trail or the park from cars/trucks. It seems like at least the broken bollard should be removed from the site and ideally a new one put in place.

Hi, Regarding Park Ridge Park, as the fall leaf season approaches, I want to bring up leave removal at the park. It does seem as though some bare ground did develop at the park this season and I would say that it is due in part to the lack of leaf removal. Neighborhood residents might be able to aid in getting our very shaded and "treed" park cleared. To make the most of that, we would appreciate it if Parks and Rec or some other city agency could help out with coordinating with the leave removal crews to ensure that if we do gather the leaves that they will be picked up. Is that something that the department can help out with? Thanks as always, John

First - thank you for how responsive the department has been to our observations about Park Ridge Park. We really appreciate it! Park Ridge has a density of plants in and around it and is a relatively small park. As such, the amount of debris that can accumulate on the park compared to its size is quite high. We have witnessed that this debris tends to remain over the winter and well into spring if it isn't removed. We have seen that this eventually causes problems as the debris prevents grass from overwintering well and regrowing in the spring. This leads to bare spots (especially since the park is pretty all sloped except for the build in structures) leading to erosion. The Parks Department has worked diligently to mitigate these erosion issues through sowing grass seed, putting down straw mats, etc. This has been effective at at least stopping the erosion. However, I wonder if these mitigation efforts will have to be repeated next spring given the amount of debris in park. I suggest removing the debris now to hopefully prevent future problems and accompanying efforts to fix those problems. Please let us know what you think and thanks again for your responsiveness and hard work at making Park Ridge and Bloomington a great place to live and work. Cheers, John
