There is an area close to the entrance where water gathers. It becomes slippery and yesterday was slimy and stinky. Could it be filled with dirt or stone to avoid this. Dogs were rolling in it and really stinky. Also seems a health hazard.

A lot of rust in water. Also the neighbor at 3945 hired a landscaping Company , they drove over the meter opening & broke the top. Don’t know if that’s contributing to water quality.

During the home inspection, its come to know that the water inlet pressure is 80 PSI which is going to affect pipe fitting in the house and it is safety issue. I am looking for bLoomington utilities to install a pressure regulator so the water pressure could be lowered down to 60 PSI.
I tried calling customer service but i havent got any help

The side walk along High Street, just south of Woodstock Place, has been partially blocked with the asphalt that was used to temporarily fill pot holes. As the water pushed out the asphalt, it has moved onto the sidewalk, making walking along busy High Street more dangerous.

I live near this residence and it is becoming a major problem with yard waste trash.
IT IS LITERALLY THE MOST TRASH-RIDDEN PROPERTY IN BLOOMINGTON. This is by far, the worst propert in Bloomington. I've asked multiple times for the city to help, and nobody has done anything.
The front and back yards are littered with trash, and junk that he keeps piling up on the property, never attempting to clean up, or remove anything but continuously accumulating more trash.
The appliances and items scattered all over the property are filling with water and becoming a breeding ground for mosquitos which when mowing my yard, I'm attacked by swarms of them. This property is becoming a major eye-sore and pain for us on this street.
I have asked this person nicely multiple times if they could get this stuff under control, but they refuse.
Someone please help us. He seems to believe he lives "In the County" and not the "city" allowing him to live like this. This trash is affected all other residents around him.

The incident (which you can watch below) was caught on camera by another park visitor and shared online via Instagram account TouronsOfYellowstone, which calls out bad behavior at US National Parks. Other examples in recent months have included people dabbling their fingers in hot springs, trying to pet bison, and tearing off their shirts and chasing bears.

New retailer has plans for former east side Marsh store. What we know.

Texas-based sporting goods store Academy Sports + Outdoors has filed plans with the city of Bloomington to move into the 53,000-square-foot former grocery store at 123 S. Kingston Drive.
...
Academy Sports could not be reached to say how many people the store would employ or when it would open.
...
Academy Sports has asked the Bloomington Board of Zoning Appeals for an exception regarding the number of allowed parking spots. Based on the building’s square footage, local zoning laws would allow the company to have 178 parking spots, said Eric Greulich, senior zoning planner with the Bloomington Planning and Transportation Department. The city limits parking in part to reduce the amount of asphalt, which exacerbates storm water runoff and the heat island effect.
Academy Sports said in filings with the city that it would like to use the existing 267 parking spaces, or about 44% more than allowed, because the limit imposed by the city would not allow the company “to properly serve all of its customers.” During peak hours and months — June, August, November and December — customers use between 85% and 100% of available parking and sometimes “park in the areas of the neighboring retailers,” the company said.

I'm trying to find out who to contact pertaining to runoff from a new construction site into the nearby neighborhood waterway on the west side of Bloomington.
My concern is that the construction barrier broke during the big storm in July, causing muddy clayish water to spill out into the road and backup the drains. That water has now made its way into the creek that flows thru Orchard Glen Co-op and meets up with the one along the Karst Farm Greenway. Due to the amount of mud, i believe someone needs to inspect it to make sure it's not a threat to the habitat or karst system there.
