Since about June/July last year, karate class is happening in my culdesac. At first it was a single student lesson, but then it turned into multiple students and multiple classes a week with parents/cars lining the street. There were 2 classes Sunday, another yesterday evening, and 2 more today. I'm almost positive the guy running classes is from MCMA which closed its dojo doors during the pandemic. We felt like this was okay when it started. One of the kids lives next door and it was one class here and there, but this is kind of getting out of control. I don't want to ruin it for the kids who are getting some activity, but I don't understand why they don't do this in the park. I guess my question is is there any problem with someone teaching karate classes in a public culdesac?

Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)
419 E Dodds ST
- Case Date:
- 3/11/2021
There are at least 3 steel culverts that have rusted through creating a sharp object hazard along the south side of E Dodds St along the 300, 400 and 500 block. My concern is there are children that play in this residential area and the rusted crevasses could act as a trap for small limbs of children or pets.
The culverts are corrugated steel and all seem to be suffering from rust fatigue along the top edge.
Thank you for the consideration of replacing these culverts.

Homeless taking over the wall benches near the pickle-ball court and under the stairs coming out of the warehouse next to the trail. Grown men on the east side of the trail just south of Allen street openly drinking beer. Im appalled that in a park that isn't even complete is being taken over by the homeless. Thank god my kids are grown I would never allow my kids to go there. What is it going to take for the Mayor to address this issue? Is it going to be a child being stuck with a needle or someone being seriously injured? I would never allow my daughters walk alone on the trail and thats a shame! It's only a matter of time before one of these individuals snaps and will do something unthinkable.

At the intersection of High Street and Hillside/Moores Pike, there is no indication of which lane is which. (Left turn lanes are not marked on the street or with signs.) I have witnessed at least 3 occasions in which drivers are confused and think the left lane is straight and the right lane is for turning right, or think the right lane is straight and the left lane is for turning left, and so both cars go straight ahead and nearly collide! This is especially bad northbound on High, where you cannot see beyond the intersection, since it is on a hill. By the way, you are all doing a great job and we love Bloomington. I am just concerned because this is a safety issue. Thank you for your concern and attention! Maybe you can just spray paint the left turn arrow as a quick fix? Thanks!
