We live on Southern Oaks Drive (between Sare Road and Oakmount Drive). Drivers frequently use our street as a "cut through." We have many children in our neighborhood and, this afternoon, a five year old boy riding his bicycle was almost hit by a driver speeding through this area. The driver did not even slow down, rather, they swerved to go around him. He swerved the same direction and they almost hit him. Our request is for speed bumps or some sort of traffic calming device to be place on South Southern Oaks Drive before a child is seriously hurt or even killed. This situation will only worsen as more apartments, and businesses are built on Sare Road.

Vehicle come off Bloomfield rd on to Allen St an Accelerate way beyond the 25 mph speed and there are some cars and trucks with very loud exhaust that you can hear them as they get farther away. There are 6 intersection in this stretch of Allen st. Could the City place some traffic calming device on Allen St from Bloomfield Rd to Adams st? I have requested this 6 months ago and have not heard anything.

I’m a frequent user of Switchyard park, but I’m very unhappy with the state of the parking lot on Walnut St. I’ve seen city employees out working in the area several times, but it’s still unsightly. The beds are sparse and bare-looking. It appears as though the working crew has mulched around Johnson grass - an invasive grass - and tall fescue. Does the landscaper not know the difference between invasive and ornamental grasses? Not only this, the hills south of the stage area around the playground and dog park are filled with thistles, Johnson grass, and other invasives. Is the city’s flagship park not worth landscaping maintenance? Considering that this is the city’s most beloved, brag-worthy park and it still looks awful, I’m hesitant to visit other parks.

This mileage sign for walkers heading northwest on the Clear Creek Trail is totally unreadable. It is across from the hopscotch court on the little learning trail just south of That Road. Cheap to replace! I think it is meant to mark 0.5 mile point from the roundabout where CCT intersects with the Bloomington Rail Trail. We walkers like to know how far we’ve traveled! FYI the pavers under several of the benches on the trail are loose and could also use some work.

This mileage sign at top for people walking northwest on Clear Creek Trail is nearly unreadable and incorrect. Needs replacement. It barely says 1 mile from Tapp Road roundabout. It is actually 1 mile from the CCT/Bloomington Rail Trail intersection roundabout. The bottom sign is pretty worn as well.

This is a loosestrife. It is highly invasive and I found it growing between the parking lot and the small stream that flows into Jackson Creek, which means that it can spread downstream along the creek.

I have no idea how to fit this problem into the city's framework, so am putting it here. The garage you see is owned 1/2 by me and 1/2 by the neighbor (a corporation who is supposed to rent to 3 adults. the driveway is shared. As you can see, a car is parked blocking my access to my garage. The person I spoke to next door doesn't know who the car belongs to, he is a visitor. This happens all the time. There are also 2 cars parked on the other side of the house. I have talked to HAND about how to find the property line and info about getting the garage demolished. The info was woefully incomplete. I am extremely frustrated that I cannot get help from the city, who seems focused only on increasing density. I hope you're happy.

It appears that the jaws on the sanitation truck has split our container. I would like a replacement as soon as possible. Thanks! Dan McNabb
