Hi, I am hoping you can forward this to the appropriate person to address this concern. This weekend I was biking with my son, going east on 1st St and entering Rogers-Binford campus by the playground. We were approaching the trail connection at the end of 1st street east of High St and I was largely focused on the road because it's a bit bumpy there. At the last second I realized there was a metal chain stretched halfway across the trail. I was able to slam on my brakes and skid to a stop, but it was quite a close call. The chain is not particularly visible and wasn't there the last time we went through. We came very close to getting hurt, and it seems likely that someone will get hurt if it stays as is. Someone going through at night is going to be in for a rough surprise. I understand you probably put the vertical post on a tire in the middle of the trail to discourage cars from driving through there and that seems fine, but please (please!) don't stretch a chain across the trail. Or if there's some critical reason that the chain is there, then at least hang a bunch of large bright flags from it or something. Thank you! - RS

It would be nice if there was a 'Utility Cut' sign on E First Street, warning motorists for the one cut at 1113 E First and the other one near the intersection of First and Ballantine. Unless you plan to pave them today.

Sometime in the evening of Wednesday, June 19th the glass office window of Old National Bank building was vandalized. It appears that a rock was thrown at the window causing extensive damage. We often experience damage to our property in a form of graffiti, trash, hazardous waste and destruction of signage.

There are a couple of potholes in the middle of East 4th Street that could prove to be hazardous to pedestrians during the Labor Day weekend. Two of them are located between the IU parking lots on the corner of Indiana avenue and East 4th Street. The other one is located at 502 East 4th Street. Thank you for your consideration.

Defne Jones is an absentee homeowner in our community. She is repeat offender for failure to maintain her property at 412 E. Laurelwood Court, Bloomington. The yard is once again out of control and in need of mowing (among other things). This is not the first time she has been reported to the city.

with regards to case 192882. I just saw that her yard was mowed by a neighbor, therefore you will not see the violation. Neighbors become so frustrated that they will occasionally mow the yard. That is not fair to them. She needs to be fined. Also she permits people (possibly IU students) to stay there without electricity and water. I have not checked to see if she is registered with the city for a rental property, but seriously doubt she is. She owes fees to our Community Association and we have a lien on her house for fees owed.

'Davis Family Music Lessons' in the grass in front of Panera at 2748 E Third Street. It seems there is a new version of the Elevate map, which makes it unclear to me whether it is in the ROW.
