College Movers along with many other derivatives of that name, all owned and operated Braden Trimpe of Bloomington. Apparently, he believes he can put his signs everywhere. This is on Moores and Hillside. Please begin citing these abusers.
Overgrown ornamental grasses are blocking the sidewalk on High, forcing pedestrians into the street. This is a high-traffic, high pedestrian use corridor. Grasses overgrow the sidewalk every year at this time.

There are multiple issues. This home is abandoned. The floor in front of the door is missing and someone can fall directly into the basement. Many dead trees and branches on property. The front door and many windows are wide open. Garage doors have been vandalized and sprayed with graffiti. I have many other photos and can send them if needed.
We live at 2513 E. Rechter. The street light that is a few houses east (around 2413) is burned out leaving that stretch of sidewalk very dark. Thank you!
Bloomington Sanitation Department, At 3 AM of Wednesday, August 8, 2020 on the morning of trash pickup day at 1412 S. Winfield Rd., 47401, my wife was up watching a recorded news program when a crash was heard from the bottom of our driveway where the cans awaited pickup. The bang was followed by a loud dragging sound. She walked to the bottom of the drive and found the landscaping can in the recycling can were gone. She woke me and we searched for the cans until we found them three doors south on the Boulevard of the Southwest corner of the Moores Pike roundabout. At first I thought at 3 AM, it must've been a drunk. However, the more I thought about it, the more unlikely I thought it would be that a drunk would be able to retain the cans for 50 yards. Retaining the cans brings me to the question which I thought worth sharing with the city. I cannot think of any way to carry the cans that far without damaging one's vehicle other than the way the city does it – hooking a lifter up under the bar built-into the can. If a prankster is trying to develop a "trick-or-treat… Throw your garbage in the streets" system, the potential chaos it could create for the city sanitation system seems to me to be huge and I would recommend that the city proactively try to answer the following questions. 1.) Have any of the lifting mechanisms used by the city trucks ever disappeared? 2.) Since this system is presumably used throughout the country, can such a lifter be bought online? 3.) Are there any YouTube videos about how to make a lifter that someone could have been testing on Winfield Road? 4.) Has the company from which the city purchased the cans and lifters had experience with cans being fiddled with when they are sitting ducks beside the road the night before garbage pickup? If so, what did these other municipalities do about it? I got my cans and my trash back in time to leave it out for pickup, but the next victim might not be so lucky. Thanks for your attention, Eric Mjolsnes
When heading east on Covenanter, the signal at College Mall does not recognize bikes. If a cyclist is attempting to cross and there are no cars ahead or behind them, they have to wait through multiple signals until a car comes to activate the sensor. Covenanter is part of a marked bikeway for the city, which makes this situation all the more frustrating.
I regularly walk through the east side of the Southeast Park. At the southern edge of the park near Arden and Montclair, a fairly massive branch has cracked on a tree in the backyard of a private home and ended up balancing on its narrow tip on park property. As long as the larger, upper part of the branch stays securely fastened to the neighbor's tree, it seems not to be an emergency, were a young person to decide to climb it and stress the crack, they could put themselves in danger and the city might be found liable. It seems to me that the city should trim the heavy branch so it has no chance to hurt anyone.
