I am incredibly disappointed in the representation of the City of Bloomington by one of your employees. 1st - to make light of the fact that you are doing nothing and getting paid by taxpayer dollars is not funny. I understand that the job comes with perks, such as enjoying a once-in-a-lifetime event, but posts like this are in poor taste. Is this something that the City would share publicly? The second issue is that Shelby Drake is a dietitian. While she is welcome to her own opinion, she represents the City of Bloomington. To say something like "$29 is nothing compared to the price of not liking what you see in the mirror" is dangerous and irresponsible. How many people in the City of Bloomington struggle with disordered eating, body image issues, or eating disorders? There is already limited access to mental health and dietitian support in this city, and the person who is the "expert" is promoting negative and harmful messaging. She - an "expert" - is promoting diet culture and body shaming. I feel the need to put the word 'expert' in quotations, because it is hard to believe that somebody with expert-level knowledge is posting this. I sincerely hope that is not how she is treating the people that come to events or look to her and the City of Bloomington for expert advice. She represents the City as she teaches people of all ages - including children. As somebody who uses many of the services provided and is enjoying seeing so many new offerings, it saddens me to think that this person may be judging me during my own health and wellness journey, or even worse - that she could be using this type of messaging around children, teens, and young adults. People are welcome to their own opinions, and I do believe people can grow and change. I also believe that people need to understand the impact of the things they say when they are representatives for the health and wellness for the City of Bloomington. Social media posts such as needing to pay for a dietitian because you don't like what you see in the mirror need to be taken as seriously as they are.

Olcott park has severs spots that are rusted and will be holes soon as well as spots that have holes already. I’m concerned with this warmer weather someone’s child’s hand or feet will be cut in these holes as they’re the perfect size for this to happen. Very dangerous, please help, thanks!

"CC Preschool" sign on W Country Club Drive, across from Grease Monkey (listed as 2610 S Walnut). The sign is in the grass, very close to Country Club Drive and, as far as I can see, it is outside the red line on the Elevate map, which possibly means it is in the ROW.

The giant pothole at the intersection of david baker and fee is actually getting so huge that I feel like it’s significantly fucking up my car every time i drive there. Like you could pour an entire keg in that pothole and it still wouldn’t be full. Not quite sure how you guys have let it get this bad. I keep thinking y’all will fix it but y’all are actually shit at fixing the roads in this shit town

There are a couple intersections around where I live that 100% need to be four way stops. It is incredibly scary trying to creep up and look for cars that could be coming because it is impossible to see them without being practically in the middle of the road. The biggest problem areas are on Smith Ave and E University St. For a more detailed location I would be willing to take some pictures once I get a response.

I live at 1035 East Maxwell Lane, Bloomington. I report that my recycling cart (yellow) was not emptied on Monday April 15 and there are no non-collection notices on it. So, how is it expected that I dispose of my recycling waste this week?
