"Dear Mr. Hamilton,
As my council representative has been ineffective and unsuccessful in dealing with this problem, I am calling on your office for help.
For over two years the resident of 1316 South Palmer Avenue has been running a used car lot at his house. There are usually no less than six cars parked in front of his house and across the street from his house at any one time. At least one or two usually have no plates.
In addition, his yard is a total mess. He doesn't care about the trash that accumulates in it.
If this were a problem in Elm Heights, it would have been taken care of in one day.
I understand that one can sell a car from one's property, but this man needs to find a lot that is zoned for selling multiple used cars, and move his business to that place.
Please help in moving this used car lot from our street. It is an eye sore and it brings down my property value. The rest of the houses in that block, and on Palmer are very well maintained and clean.
Thank you very much in advance for your attention to this matter.
Best regards,
Michael McCafferty"

the light post on College Mall Road directly in front of Five Guys seems to be very loose. It IS a windy day, but it is bobbing around a lot more than the others, if someone should take a look?

Larry Williams called into Elizabeth Walter at the Mayor's office to complain about the property at 612 N. Monroe being over run with cats (around 10) and trash.
He owns four neighboring properties: 623, 631, 635, 639 N. Monroe.
He filed a uReport about this himself over a month ago and said there hasn't been any progress on the matter.
I filed this for Animal Control but HAND and Public Works may be interested as well since there is an abundance of trash as well.

Ms Dwyer contacted me last week and I met her at her house this morning. She is concerned about a sinkhole forming in her yard again and the amount of water that ponds on the south side of her house. This is a historical problem. We made some storm improvements in the alley east of her last year and hoped that would help solve some of her problems but she still has issues and would like to know what she can do. I told her I have asked our crews to video the storm sewer that runs along her yard to make sure the pipe is sound. I told her I would also check our sanitary sewer videos to make sure the sanitary sewer is sound. I explained I would be out of the office for about a week and would get back with her in a couple weeks to let her know what we have found.

I work at Smallwood Plaza. Recently the traffic pattern on 8th street was changed from a one way to a two way. The city left a sign at the exit of our garage indicating that there had been a traffic change. (thank you). However we noticed after this weekend that someone had driven over the sign you provided so we brought it into the building. We have it here at the leasing office if you'd like to retrieve during our regular business hours. I just don't want us to be held responsible for damaging city property or not reporting/returning damaged property.

Zayo put in a post at the corner of Brownridge and Fieldcrest.
A new light was supposed to be on the post. However no light is now available at the corner, neither is working.

Mayo has installed a new post ( pole ) on my property at the corner of Brownridge and Fieldcrest in Hoosier acres. They did extensive digging around the area and were supposed to reseed, since I had my lawn completely reseeded this last fall. This has not been done and there is a muddy mess at the corner. Moreover holes were made at various places on the lawn and these were never filled in. This is a hazard in mowing or just walking on the lawn. If someone catches there foot in the hole it could result in a broken leg or twisted ankle. Mayo or the city would then be responsible.
There are little flags all over the lawn, which needs to be mowed. Should I just remove these ?. Is the work completed ?
On the pole there is a street lamp to replace the one currently at the corner, but neither is working, which is another hazard. The ditch in the area has also collapsed. I believe it is Zayos obligation to fix this, or someone ( the city of Bloomington ) should.

Hi Doris,
I drive by this house on my way home. It appears to be a rental. The yard has not been mowed in a month. There is a fence down on the Atwater side of this home. It's a mess in a highly traveled area. Thought I'd send it your way for your staff to address.
Thanks,
