For years I have problems with my neighbor's trash in my yard. His cans are on Habitat Street, his own private dump, despite a City Ordinance prohibiting it. He does not empty his trashcans, he does not cover them; animals take trash to nearby yards and other parts of City property. In the past, Wykoff was not helpful, and Mayor Kruzan was not interested, and the police had other priorities. Recently it has bounced around in City bureaucracy for months: HAND, the Street Department, back to HAND, over to Title VI, back to HAND, and back to the Street Department, which they will not enforce the Ordinance. Trash still appears in my yard. There must be organizational and management issues, but the results are the same: no solutions. The appearance is either incompetence or corruption. I am tired of the run-around; I have lost the use of my property and it's full value. I just want the cans moved back on his property, away from mine. If the cans are not a real problem, then they can not be a real problem on his own property. The next escalation goes to the Police Department, the Herald-Times, or the Courts.

Thank you Mayor Kruzan! I know you are a 'good guy' as you have helped me with a problem before. Please do not allow a low-barrier homeless shelter. And do keep them out of the garages, etc. I truly believe they will return to where they came from without so many amenities in Bloomington.

Amy Shrake went 'above and beyond' in allowing a family friend to be 'late enrolled' into kids city. This went again protocol, but it prevented this young lady from being home, alone, for the week in which payment got messed up. THANK YOU AMY!

Curtis [Gilstrap] (not sure about the last name) was so helpful when I visited Rose Hill Cemetery last Wednesday (31 July). I knew the section numbers, but not the plot numbers for several family members. He stopped to ask if he could help. He located the plot numbers for me, directed me to them, cleaned some mold off one of the stones, took a picture for me--I had my camera, but to get a proper picture I would have needed to get down on my hands and knees, no longer possible for me! I also learned a great deal about the cemetery and its inhabitants. I don't think I told him how well-kept the cemetery is. He really seemed to care about the cemetery and its visitors and inhabitants. Please thank him again for me. Sheryn Peters

I see that the Winslow trail around the baseball/softball fields is being upgraded. I've heard it will be widened and paved. Please be sure to put up a sign to remind bicyclists to yield to walkers--the sign you posted on the Jackson Creek Trail would be great. I walk this path 2 times a day. And lately too often bicyclists just plow down the trail expecting walkers to clear out of the way, even when they come upon a walker from behind.

There has been some construction on the trails near the Wesley Sports complex. I use the trail to commute to work by bike every day and noted its bad constitution - especially after heavy rain. I had hope for some improvements but the 'closed for construction' signs have been removed and while the trail is now wider it seems like the construction has been stopped half way. The trail is still very sandy / muddy and parts are very soft so that my bike sinks into the sandy surface which makes it very uncomfortable to rise and also somewhat unsafe. Is the construction already done or just paused?

There is a dead deer in Bryan Park, near the baseball diamond by the pool.
