Accessibility issue on E. 6th Street sidewalks, behind the public library. Where the library's driveways cross the sidewalk, the wheelchair areas are very narrow and uneven. Is this something the city will replace, or is it up to the library?
When trying to use the Bloomington uReport mobile app (iOS), attempting to report a streetlight outage, the app says to report it to Duke Energy at "www.duke-energy.com/lightre..." and then cuts off. I had to google search instead to find where to submit a report to Duke. Also, it shouldn't matter whether Duke maintains the streetlights or not. Constituents should be able to report a streetlight being out to the City, and then the City takes care of reporting it to Duke.
This morning, Monday, Nov 10 just before 9am I was walking up to the intersection of First and Clifton in Bloomington when a city sanitation truck stopped in front of me. The sanitation employee opened the lid on a yard waste can and found trash on top of the debris. (not my house or cans). I witnessed him remove the trash with his hands and throw it on the street, then dump the yard waste in the truck. When he started to leave, I confronted him and asked him to pick it up the trash he had thrown on the ground. There was a trash bin and recycling bin within inches of the yard waste bin. Not only did he refuse, but he called me a fucking bitch and moved very aggressively toward me, screaming excuses of why he did not have pick it up, was entitled to discard it because it was in the wrong can, and called me every vile name he could imagine. I PICKED UP THE TRASH HE THREW IN THE STREET. His actions are completely inappropriate and I hope you will address this. He had blondish hair and was the rider, not driver on the truck. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out who it was. Ann Wesley
I want to commend Adam Wason, Shelby Walker, and Rhea Carter on helping me resolve my trash can problem. They went above and beyond. They deserve recognition. Not only did they fix the problem, I learned new things about sanitation services, which was very cool. They didn't cover that so much in the Citizen's Academy back in the day. I am SO THANKFUL for their help.
Christmas lights — why are the trees on the square no longer lighted? Those were really pretty when lit up.
At the corner of Rogers and Gordon Pike a new "full" stop light has been put in in place of the four way stop. The result is a real traffic jam. This corner would work well and move traffic more efficiently with a four way stop. We sat for 20 minutes or longer coming west from Kroger to Rogers because of the blockage caused by this light. Please consider doing something for the drivers in this area. Thank you.
This is a request for advice- not notifying of an issue. The home we purchased has a lot of overgrowth: trees, bushes, some poison ivy, and invasive plant species like some of the honeysuckles. We have already started removing some and have a very large pile (when we are finished, it will probably fill a large roll-off dumpster). What does the city typically do when they are clearing brush? Do you chip it or does that just spread the problem items further? Or do you know of any companies that might pick up for a price? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you! Christine
