theres a path connecting maple heights to tri north middle school along the south property line of 917 N Maple. about a month ago someone came with a large side-deck mower and cleared the wildflowers that were not obstructing the path. but they did nothing about the things that *were* obstructing the path! this job requires shovels, shears, and elbow grease. will the city clear the path? I understand these paths are in a grey area and I'd appreciate it if you update this ticket with the info about whichever dept accepts the duty. thanks!!

I work in the office at mccsc transportation. Bus drivers are asking if trees/bushes can be trimmed at the railroad tracks just past W 10th St on N Adams St to help with their visibility. They're not able to see clearly when stopping there. Thank you for your help.

The stop light at High Street and 2nd street is very long. At 5:50 in the morning, with very, very little traffic, it is a waste of time and gasoline. Can it be changed to flashing yellow until 7:00 a.m., please?
Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)
- Case Date:
- 3/10/2025
Sewer backup yielded that Fiber Optic company damaged line between city's sewer line and my lateral line causing major back-up twice between October, 2024 and January 2025. I've spoken with Paul Edwards and Kyle Baugh about this. All Plumbing Todd Braner has been here several times. I have many bills related to this problem from Mann Plumbing, Commercial Service, and CORE Restoration and need to know how and where to submit these bills. I have spent well over $7,000 for plumbers and clean up crews to deal with flooding of sewage to my bathroom seeping under walls into hallway and bedroom. Please advise as to how to be reimbursed for these expenses caused by the failure of the City of Bloomington and/or the Fiber Optic company.

Hi,
When attempting to drive westbound on Countryside Lane outside Summit Elementary, we were told by a crossing guard that they were allowed to completely block westbound traffic and would not allow us to drive in the eastbound lane due to “their walkers”.
I raised a complaint with the principal several weeks ago about not only convenience, but also the fact that emergency vehicles are not able to drive through. They responded indicating that people are only supposed to be parking on the far westbound side of the street and not blocking traffic, but that is not what’s happening.
How do they have the authority to block traffic and decide who is or is not allowed to drive on a public street?
They said it was “for 15 minutes” but no drop/off pick/up ever takes a mere 15 minutes as parents start lining up we before school lets out.

The metal drain cover in front of Mother Bear's at 1428 E Third Street has fallen in (again). It clearly is not stable and one day someone may trip over it.

There's a huge hole left by the internet-cable installing company at the curb in front of my house, 1207 E Skylark Ct. This problem has been reported twice, tickets 192627 and 193023. Both tickets were closed but the problem remains. The contractor made a wan attempt to fill the hole, tossing some loose gravel into it, after I filed the first ticket. The attempt was useless and I filed the second ticket. It was closed without comment and, as far as I can tell, without investigation. The hole is now far deeper and wider. I realize it's likely false hope that you'll do anything more than close this ticket, forgive me, but after a winter of watching the hole grow, I'm asking again for a repair.
Thank you.
