Reported by BikeSmith (112 S College) a homeless shelter made out of cardboard was erected on their rear deck, between 113 S Gentry and 117 S Gentry, next to 119 S Gentry. The cardboard has been cleaned up. The individual(s) are no longer on site. We wanted the issue documented by the City of Bloomington. Thank you. Mike at Olympus Properties
Yesterday's press release from Mayor Thomson is so inappropriate. City council followed the law with regard to delaying the reading of the ordinance for the Hopewell South PUD. It's truly incredible that the mayor, and her staff apparently, believe it necessary to publicly attack council members for doing their due diligence and following procedures clearly laid out in city code. These kinds of public attacks are not engaging in good faith. Furthermore, to claim that the concerns raised by council were merely procedural in nature is simply dishonest. Cm. Stosberg raised valid concerns about the PUD document itself, citing incorrect references and inconsistent requirements. Those seem like pretty important concerns that might impact the "merit of the product", as the mayor put it. "We are in a housing crisis, and the community should demand that its elected officials respond with urgency." The mayor is also an elected official. As a community member, I would like to demand that the mayor refrain from playing an immature blame game while attempting to rush a poorly prepared PUD through civic process. And yes, I am aware that the mayor stands by her statement.
Trash cans left on side of road after pickup. Does this reporting work? I've been reporting this issue at this address for 5 straight weeks and nothing has been done about it. They refuse to move the cans away from the street. This is a lousy system.
3805 E Tamarron Dr. Tree branch down. Aprox. 4" in Dia. I was able to pull it over to the curb by the mailboxes.
Please let the residents know to take in their trash cans in and the proper location for the trash bins to be. They are renters and may not be aware of the rules. Thank you.
A car is continuously parked in the yard. Mostly evenings and weekends but also many weekdays.

The person on the customer service line (-3700) was extremely helpful and was able to get my garden plot reserved. What a great city employee. Name may have been Andy.
There is a large tree branch down across the street on Lincoln, just past the corner of Lincoln and Dixie on the left side of the road from the storm last week. The house across the street is a rental and I'm not sure the owner will do much to remove it, but it's in the street, just pushed to the side so cars can drive by. I'm hoping the city can come remove it. Thanks!
Basswood Dr. sign blew off, in grass on same side of rd as hotel.
