About ten "Bird" scooters are parked on the street on Grant just north of 7th. There is no scooter corral at this location, and they are blocking a parking spot for cars.

Just witnessed a near miss of two vehicles including a City bus at 10th and Smith. Please collaborate with INDOT for safety improvements at that intersection for vehicles turning left from Smith. They aren't taking citizen concerns seriously but would better receive input from Transit and the City. Please reach out. It's very dangerous.
The bump outs that have been added to Morningside Drive need to have reflective paint or some other sort of marking that can be seen both during the day and at night. My father pulled into town last night from NM (his first moment of moving to Bloomington!), and ran into one of the bump outs. The result was that he blew two tires. All of the bump out curbs already have many black tire marks on them, which is an indication that he is by far not the first person to make contact. I urge the city to add paint or something else that will draw attention to these, so that this doesn't keep happening.
During trash pick-up today, the trucks doing the work were leaking significant amounts of oil or hydraulic fluid at each stop. Because of this morning's rain, this left an iridescent pool at every pick-up location. We appreciate the great service provided, but both the trucks and the neighborhoods would be much better off without the leaking oils left behind. I suspect those trash trucks are very expensive, and will survive longer with regular maintenance.

Recycling pick up today tore the lid off of my recycling bin. Happy to provide pics. Need new bin delivered and broken bin picked up.
A few of the capstones on the retaining wall out front are precariously hanging close to the edge as a result of long-term, hydrological processes. They look like they are about to fall, especially if someone happens to sit on the wall at that place. Owner of this property is the same as 322 E. 12th, the one with the dangerous sidewalk. He is an out-of-state, absentee landlord who doesn't care about the neighborhood or safety in general. If he is going to be required to fix the sidewalk on 12th, please also require him to attend to this retaining wall. One of the capstones has already fallen and broken. Someone just picked it up off the sidewalk and placed it back on top of the wall without mortar.
The homeless encampment in Switchyard where the bike frames were stacked up - did the police check those serial numbers against their open cases of bike theft? Just wanted to suggest that to the police if they have not done that already, might close some open cases.
