Hi--I was looking for the Farmers Market and first tried the Sustainable section, then Parks and Rec and then I searched and found it. Maybe I just didn't see it on the pages, but for me it was really difficult to find. all the best, Cynthia
The information on your page re: Healthy Indiana [ http://bloomington.in.gov/documents/viewDocument.php?document_id=2334 ] is not correct. My daughter read that and waited the specified 6 months to apply for health insurance. She went to the City building to get an application. And then she learned that it is only for people WITH DEPENDENTS. Please re-read your page and note that no where on that page does it say you need to have a dependent. It is wrong and misleading and needs to be corrected.
Alley between Washington and Lincoln off of First Street is totally overgrown, making it almost impossible to go from First to Wylie this way. My 90 year old parents live at First and Washington and we use this alley!
The house at 800 S. Fess Ave. has the most overgrown backyard in the area. 5 foot tall weeds, scrap lumber, stacks of rocks and junk are in this yard, visible from the alley between Henderson and Fess off of First Street.
Tall weeds on vacant lot corner of Gourley Pike and Cascades Ave.
The sidewalks on South High Street are being obstructed by low-hanging tree branches. These branches hang 3-5 feet above the sidewalks and may be hazardous to walkers and runners. They demand constant ducking and dodging, perhaps even into the street in some cases. The leaves conceal hard branches beneath them, and I have seen several walkers and runners hit their heads.
There is a giant hole in the alley way behind 809 S. Fess around where work was done on a manhole some time ago. The hole has gotten huge and when it rains it fills with water. Many cars use this alley to get to parking behind their houses. When filled with water, the hole can nearly swallow a small car. It continues to get larger as time is passing and is dangerous.
Has anyone looked lately at the employment section of the website. It seems as if it hasn't been updated in a good while -- there are references to 2010 on firefighters' jobs and to last March on politce jobs.
My alleyway at on Madison Street, between houses 308 and 312 is a total mess. It runs from Madison to Rogers and is in total disrepair-dangerous to cars, bikes, strollers and those on foots. It has holes, crumbling all around the sides and large uneven patching. Please help!
Our street, S. Greenwood Avenue, needs attention. I have seen any work done to it in the 13 years I have lived on the street and there are several areas where it is dangerous to walk my dog at night because of the uneven pavement. And our street enjoys a lot of foot traffic because of the path at the end of the dead end that connects us to Southdowns.
