Some feedback for your web team: I find the city website generally to be clear, helpful, and easy to use. However, the lack of topic-specific contact information for city staff is frustrating. I don't like talking on the phone. I'd rather have things in writing. I would just like to know whom to email. But I have to guess. This--combined with weird, low-information job titles ("Rental Specialist 1," "Rental Specialist 2," "Program Manager"--those have no meaning to me as the customer of city services!) makes it frustrating to know whom to contact. Why not just make a directory that tells what important topics are in people's individual responsibilities and areas of expertise?
The north side of R Rogers Rd btw Sare and Snoddy (bottom of the hill) has several large deep potholes in the middle of the north lane and along the north edge of the road.
Over the past few weeks, recycling has been strewn about the streets throughout Eastern Heights. It appears that papers and other lightweight items are floating out when the carts are being dumped into the truck.
Traffic Light at 2nd street when exiting College Mall is not working right. The light is not changing from red to green. It stays red and is sometimes holding up traffic. This has happening for a couple months.
The grass and weeds on the property are overgrown. Lawn has not been mowed for at least a couple months.
I have a problem on my property with drainage. The drainage of my property runs off naturally into my neighbor's yard. His address is 3514 Morningside Drive. When a storm comes, his back yard pools and remains there for a few days until it is absorbed into the ground. I discussed with one of the neighbors how this might be resolved and volunteered to help pay for pipes that would carry the water that pools in their yard to the ditch along Morningside Drive. The neighbor didn't think that would work. Now they have dug out a deeper hole in their yard and are installing a "Sponge Garden." My understanding is that this will retain water and will not allow my yard to drain. This area has backed up into my basement in the past and flooded it. It seems to me that this will occur more easily with the installment of the "Sponge Garden." I appeal to the city of Bloomington to send engineers to come and see if there is some way that water can be drained into the ditch along Morningside Drive.
There is a metal service door with a hole in it and the cap to this hole is missing. This is nothing to extreme, but it could be a hazard.
The building light on the LEFT side of the North entrance to City Hall is on the fritz, the left side as you face the doors from Morton.
