I live at 3500 E Morningside Drive in Bloomington, Indiana. (There are two homes that appear to be at this address. Ours is the light green ranch house with a dark green metal roof.) We have a dark green plastic mailbox by the street. Our mailbox was damaged this morning, 8/9/23, sometime after 6:30am. Our neighbor noticed the damage and notified us this morning at 11:04am. Since today, 8/9/23, is Wednesday, the day that trash and recycling are collected in the Park Ridge neighborhood, we are guessing that the damage was caused accidently by the robotic arm of the sanitation vechicle. We didn't have bins out this morning to empty, but other neighbors did. Here is a link to photos that show the damage that was done to our mailbox: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19_rM2q5K7visO0LR5-6t8QG-fYq8OQia?usp=drive_link . It was scraped on the top, pushed back and to the side, the plastic on the back was broken, etc. We had a box for the Herald-Times newspaper next to the mailbox which was knocked over during this incident, so my husband removed the post from the ground. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of that. I'm hoping someone would be willing to meet with us to see the damage. If after seeing the damage, they agree this could have been done accidently by the robotic arm of the sanitation vehicle, I'm hoping we could be reimbursed for the damage. Thank you for your time and attention to this concern. Please know that we greatly appreciate the weekly sanitation and recycling services provided by the city staff.

Sidewalks on west side of Sare Rd are becoming very challenging to use. Trees and bushes have encroached the point of having to step of sidewalk. In other areas the width has been reduced to half.

While visiting Bryan Park on 8/9, I observed mowing with a gas engine lawn mower of grass already at a very low height. Greenhouse gas emissions are a concern from unnecessary mowing, and the area being mowed was very large. For a city with a sustainability office, one would expect either the use of electric lawn equipment and/or mowing only when necessary. Please consider training staff to mow using environmentally friendly practices.

Every school day, multiple cars park along 2nd street in front of Binford school. Other cars are backed up from the parking lot. They block part of the street while doing this, and they make it dangerous to put onto the street and to drive through the area. Please do not allow them to park partially in the street or in areas that are not parking spots.

Either the person that sets the signaling for the traffic lights in the city of Bloomington is either the most incompetent idiot on the planet or is the biggest joke over there how you guys have the traffic lights signals so you literally have to stop at every light all over town even during rush hour you guys have multiple lights signaling turn red so you guys have people stopping in the middle of the intersection because they don't want to get stuck by five lights in a row I've sent multiple emails to you guys so have coworkers and other people that I know in the city what are you guys fix the lights over 69 on the west side all through Walnut Street it's like that I just came down 2nd Street you literally had car sitting in the intersection because they didn't want to get stuck by multiple lights in a row
