This time I have included a photo. This is how the sidewalk and gutter has been since I moved here a year ago. Disgusting. Note the cigarettes on the sidewalk as those are the ones thrown from the door with complete disregard for people walking in the public right of way.
Previous Ureport is #175706.
Trash:
Other: The occupants of this house stand in the doorway smoking cigarettes and when they are done they throw them into the street. I have seen this many times and they take no caution about any pedestrians who are walking on a sidewalk right into the path of a flying lit cigarette. I do not feel comfortable approaching these people. Thank you for checking on this ongoing littering problem.

The garage belonging to 522 W. 4th Street--the garage that sits along Jackson St., has had mattresses/box springs piled against it for at least 6 weeks. There is also a pile of loose trash behind the garage that's been there for the same amount of time. That mess is an eyesore!!!

The house across from ours has excessive overgrowth. We can tell that the bugs are overpopulating in this area because of it. Our landlord has let us know it has now been like this for over 10 years.

Can the city blow out/vacuum the leaves/litter in the gutters/curbs/sidewalks on Kirkwood Avenue just east of Walnut Street? This is one of the “signature” streets of Bloomington, and it looks as if this maintenance hasn’t been performed in some time. The present condition fails to give the proper impression of the city of which Bloomington touts itself, especially at this time of year when we have many first-time visitors to the city. Thank you.

I tried to describe this issue over the phone but the street dept. employee only wanted to blame my driveway for destroying the city street. What?? The problem is the street gutters. When the 800 block of Briarcliff was repaved about 6 years ago, it was ground down and the asphalt was carried into the gutter and made for a smooth transition to the remaining gutter concrete. The 900 block of Briarcliff was not ground down and repaved at that time. We are still waiting for the rest of Briarcliff to be repaved properly. In the 900 block the street's asphalt is approx. 3 inches higher than the concrete gutter so when you include the yard side of the gutter we have one enormous gully. I know of one broken ankle because of this and two weeks ago the Amazon driver twisted his ankle stepping into the gully getting out of his truck. I had asked about putting concrete in the gully in front of my mailbox and was told by street employee NO, that would destroy the street. So what can be done to either pave the gutter in the 900 block like the 800 block or grind down the street pavement in the 900 block so it makes a smooth transition with the gutter. I know what I would do but the city owns the street. We on the 900 block pay the same city tax rate as the 800 block so I think we should have the same street setup. I did ask the street employee to bring out a two wheel drive vehicle and try to drive through the gutter. Not surprised no one showed up. Thanks
