I own the Bicycle Garage on Kirkwood Ave next to People's Park. On June 8th the trees that are next to my property were trimmed and it seems a branch that is dead was not removed and is in a very precarious position above our back gate. This can fall at a moments notice. I have attached pictures.
The grass in the parkway along Sare Road across from S Mill Stone Ct & S Mill Stone Way has not been mowed by the city all summer and spring.
There are two potholes on Ballantine and 1st street. It would be great to get them repaired before they get bigger. Also, the street sign on Ballantine and 2nd street is totally covered from a homeowner's tree. It would be easy for someone to just fly through it because they can't see it.
There was a water main break at my address a few months back. Utilities had to dig in my front yard to replace the pipe. I assumed that someone would come back to fill the dirt in, but no one ever came. I have a five-year-old child and it's a dangerous spot. Please send someone to take a look at it and fill the dirt back in.
This year we lost a VALUABLE member of Bloomington. Mr. Bruce Bundy. He was a dedicated member of the law enforcement community here in Bloomington. He committed his entire life to making our community safe. He taught classes at the Monroe county jail to help people have the tools they need to succeed. Our community is safer only because of Mr. Bruce Bundy. We owe Mr. Bundy the recognition he deserves for all the work he did for our community by making a memorial stone or enscribed marker in the city of Bloomington with Mr. Bundy's name on it. Thank you.
A mattress, a couple of tubs, scrap wood, recycling, a shopping cart and a makeshift bed have been dumped on a public bench in front of the Habitat Office at 213 E Kirkwood Ave.
Shoes on the power lines at N. Smith/E. Morningside intersection.
Sign is blocking fire hydrant on Smith/E third intersection. Not sure if that is a violation but looks trashy and at a very public corner. would LOVE if fence can be fixed there to.
What is wrong with the City transportation people! We already have the worst traffic in Bloomington. Absolutely DO NOT eliminate the one ways of Atwater college etc. to create slow and jammed skinny streets without any alternatives. Biking is great and so is walking but we all can't afford to live 200 feet from work and school and some of us must get across town. Neighborhoods are great but Bloomington can't be one giant one with zero arterials. That is crazy. We need several large and frankly expanded arteriajs to get across town in both directions. And then if you want to have slow and multi use webbing that is great. But we still need major trafficways. Stop killing or economy and time by creating logjams. Please please keep two lane roads. Also with the new construction for students miles from campus in the East there better be a plan to keep them from jamming things up. We need a healthy third or other east/west large and speedy road all the way through town. The same with North south options. Stop catering to white liberal privilege of folks with enough money and time to buy a downtown historic home and take their electric bike to work. That isn't the reality of working people.
We live at 806 W. 4th St., in Bloomington. Today, Tuesday, July 10 was our normal trash pick-up day, and also the day for yard waste pickup, according to Bloomington Sanitation's "yard waste collection schedule." We have two 35 gallon bins filled with yard waste waiting at the curb in front of our house. They are properly packaged, and under the 40 pound limit. While our garbage and recycle bins were collected, these yard waste bins were ignored, (although they have been collected on past dates) No note was left by the Sanitation Dept. workers. We appreciate this service, and don't mind the collection fee, but we were missed today.
