Who is responsible for maintaining the city roundabout landscaped areas? The "Renwick" roundabout on Moores Pike is well-maintained on the east, west and south sides. However, on the north side (by the Ridgemede sign) the median strip is full of weeds and vacant of plants. Please respond ... thank you!

The lawn at 1413 S. Dunn Street has not been trimmed for many weeks. Some of it is near hip-height, and it detracts from the otherwise orderliness of the neighborhood.

Van Accessible spaces at Bryan Park on Stull do not provide reasonable park access -- I got into the space adjacent to the two pictured however these two V.A. spaces have aisles leading to the parking lot and NOT the park. I had to navigate past a small garage and across broken terrain in my wheelchair to attend the show on the bandstand Sunday. If not for low soil moisture I might well have been stranded unable to move Also, it would be great t have a H/C area down in front, or, perhaps to the left overlooking the band shell.

Dear Mayor Hamilton,
Hello,
My name is Jane Cronkhite. I have recently moved to Bloomington. I grew up here and lived in Bloomington from 1980-2000, attending Indiana University from 1996-2000. I returned and am now the Associate Director of the Monroe County Public Library. I am very excited to be back in the city I love with so many wonderful amenities!
I have heard many great things about you from other residents and I was just reading about you on the City's web site. I saw you have a background serving the State as Commissioner of Environmental Management, which is fantastic.
I've spent my last nine years living in San Jose, California. One thing I've noticed upon my return to Bloomington is while there are some extraordinary green spaces in the City and wonderful parks I plan to take advantage of, I think Bloomington has a way to go with other environmental protective measures. I encourage you to consider an expansion of measures such as a plastic bag ban or a more robust recycling program. I've spoken to several people who tell me they take their recycling in themselves, which I think is an inconvenience. Reading the City's sanitation page, apartments and complexes with more than four buildings do not have bins provided. I am a renter and I do not have bins, and in my few weeks in town, I've seen trash overflowing at my complex. I expect many students who live off campus are not recycling. I think the vast majority of the City's waste that is eligible for recycling is going to landfills, which is a shame.
Please consider putting in more green sanitation measures to protect the City. I think residents would pay for services to protect the City; I know I would.
Thank you for your consideration, and congratulations on your position serving the City!
Best,
Jane Cronkhite

There are fairly large holes in the street asphalt abutting the bottom of my driveway and the driveway of my next-door neighbors to the west, and they appear to be getting bigger, to the point where they are becoming a hazard.

The lights on the tennis courts at Bryan Park do not seem to be working, and when I went tonight to play at 9pm I also saw that one of the large bulbs from one of the lights had fallen and shattered on the ground. Can you please let me know when/if the lights will be in working condition tomorrow night? I would like to take advantage of the tennis courts in the evenings. Thanks so much!
