There are 4 discarded tires (large ones) on this property, in the alley, the one parallel to 6th st. It's been several weeks. Clearly they have been dumped here, encouraged by the general mess around this house.
Trees encroaching sidewalk. Also bamboo, for which this house has been cited is not abated, when will that be enforced?
Trash is accumulating both in front and back of the household
Overgrown and trash in front and back, dying bamboo into alley, falling down porch.
No snow removal, ice now
Trash in front and in alley. Bamboo unabated
The storm drain grate on the northwest corner of 6th & College is missing a bar and the gap is wide enough that a bicycle tire could drop into it and cause injury to the writer and damage to the bike.
I tried to use this area to have a quick meeting with colleagues before going to an appointment at a business on the square. This area was unavailable due to the mess. Balloons, needles, beverage cans, etc. (The yoga mat is mine.) Further, these benches are damaged and appear to be unmaintained. I then moved to the corner of the square where no needles were visible. There I was immediately solicited by panhandlers twice. All of this is unacceptable and I hope to see these areas cleaned and maintained on a proper schedule. The frequency with which I am required to defend myself physically against panhandlers here is becoming unbearable. It is unsafe to be downtown in Bloomington, Indiana.
