Sare Road just north of Jackson Creek MS has several huge potholes.
Pothole right at driveway of 2115 S Grovesnor Place
lots of potholes at bottom of the hill in this area. some work was done to fill some but not all.
Yard has not been mowed, and this is an issue every year. House seems to be abandoned.
There is a Doge ‘Nitro’ SUV (dark blue) parked on the west side of Eastside Drive too close to the intersection affecting visibility and turning safety.
This house is abandoned. The lawn has not been mowed yet this season. This has been an ongoing problem for at least four years. Now there are rodents (rats, raccoons, groundhogs) living in the shed which is falling down and is a hazard, especially being so close to my property line. With the overgrown trees and bushes you can barely see the house or get to the front door.
Can the speed limit be reduced near the entrance of Switchyard Park on S. Rogers Street? This is an entrance to the city's largest park and there will be a pedestrian crossing built that will also cross S. Rogers Street, to the park entrance. Currently, the speed is 30 mph, which will be too fast for a pedestrian crossing and the current busy park entrance. Per City Ordinance 18-09, the speed is reduced on Winslow Rd around Allendale Dr. to accommodate for the pedestrian crossing that is near a city park. Other examples of reduced speed near park entrances includes (but not limited to): S. Highland Ave near Winslow Sports Complex and E. Morningside Dr. near Park Ridge East Park.
This has been like this for some timeSo now we have rats in the neighborhood. I suspect they are using the yellow receptacle for garbage. It has been overflowing for weeks.
I am submitting a complaint regarding what I believe was an unreasonable and predatory towing incident involving Tow Time Solutions and the Hampton Inn Bloomington located at 2100 N. Walnut Street in Bloomington, Indiana. On April 23, 2026, I was a registered overnight guest at the Hampton Inn Bloomington. Prior to arrival, I completed digital check-in through Hilton’s mobile app and was issued a digital room key. Upon arriving at the hotel around 8:15 p.m., the front desk was unattended, so I proceeded directly to my room using the digital key provided through Hilton’s system. At no point during the digital check-in process was I provided any direct notification that an additional parking registration step was required in order to avoid towing. The following morning, I discovered that my vehicle had been towed by Tow Time Solutions despite being a legitimate paying hotel guest. I was required to pay approximately $300 to retrieve my vehicle and had to cancel work obligations, arrange transportation to the tow facility, and spend significant time resolving the issue. My concern is not simply the existence of parking signage or permit policies, but rather the manner in which towing enforcement was conducted against an authorized guest without any reasonable verification process. The hotel had an active reservation, digital check-in record, and occupied room associated with my stay, yet neither the hotel nor the towing company appears to have made any attempt to verify whether the vehicle belonged to a registered guest before towing it. Additionally, the hotel’s use of digital check-in creates a reasonable expectation that guests can complete arrival procedures without front desk interaction. Requiring an additional undocumented step while the front desk is unattended creates a foreseeable risk of confusion for guests and raises concerns regarding fairness, consumer protection, and accessibility. I believe this situation reflects predatory towing practices because: the vehicle belonged to a verified hotel guest, no warning or attempt at guest verification occurred prior to towing, the towing fee was excessive relative to the circumstances, and the enforcement process appeared designed to maximize towing revenue rather than reasonably manage unauthorized parking. I respectfully request review of the towing practices associated with this property and Tow Time Solutions, including whether reasonable consumer protections, guest verification procedures, and accessibility considerations are being followed before vehicles are towed from hotel property. Thank you for your time and consideration.
